Draw-Tite Tested Tough
Draw-Tite's Tested Tough program provides testing standards far superior to those outlined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the go-to source for engineering professionals.
Each Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver undergoes extensive fatigue testing and static testing with the ball mount that is either supplied or recommended for use with that particular hitch, thus ensuring results that are applicable to real life use. Fatigue testing is also conducted on hitches rated for use with weight-distribution systems.
In addition, Draw-Tite performs static testing on a simulated automobile, as opposed to the rigid fixture used for SAE testing, resulting in a more true-to-life scenario.

by: Andrew 04/18/2024
Haven't used it much but the install was pretty easy and haven't had any issues with rust. Luckily my van already had the 7 pin connector installed and all I had to do was zip tie it to the hitch. Wish it had come with some kind of mounting system for the connector but not a deal breaker

Fits perfect on my 2022 2500 Mercedes sprinter van 170” high roof. Very easy to install. Took me roughly 40 min by myself. Very practical for towing. Call company for the exact one you need. They are nice folks and happy to help.

I used my motorcycle jack and a 2x4 the width of the hitch to make this a half hour install great fit.
All hardware was top quality great instructions

2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
The hitch mounted with ease, by myself on a 2014 Mercedes Sprinter passenger van with no rear step.
For bike rack people- I did run into the problem that the Kuat bike hitch rack I installed sat too close to the van and risked breaking the windows. I tried an 8" extension...lame. Still didn't have rear door use. So Kuat makes a Pivot swing away that works with any 2" hitch rack and problem solved. Full use of doors, and plenty of clearance from windows with handlebars.
Overall great hitch!!! Thanks!!!

The product was easy for me to install on my Sprinter by myself in my driveway once I figured out how to prop up and balance it. It’s awkward to handle at first. The fit was perfect, and in use it works exactly like factory installed trailer hitches.
by: Captain Devon05/20/2017
30 minute, one person, two floor jack installation. The trailer hitch we purchased fit perfectly inside the frame and bolted to the existing factory bolt holes.
SImply remove the factory shipping tie down bracket, line up the hitch, install all eight bolts as described in the instructions and its that simple.
Fast shipping, great price and a quality product.
by: Todd03/11/2019
Easy to install and fits nicely. I've towed a 2300 lb trailer 7000 miles with this hitch and had no problems.
by: Mauricio04/23/2021
Excellent!
I was born with two left hands and I never thought I was able to actually do something with my hands. I only bought it because every place around was booked for the rest of the month and I didn’t wanted to wait 3 weeks to mount my bicycles to my new van.
Shipping was super fast, the box was all beaten up but I know it was probably UPS’s fault. The product was still in good shape and the hardware still attached to the unit (nothing missing).
Installation was straight forward, less than an hour.
Thanks for such a great service!
by: Trevor08/15/2019
Super easy install, took me less than one hour including the time needed to remove and reinstall my Luverne Step. The best part is that the hitch fits snug under the bumper allowing me to keep using my step. Both components utilize the same mounting holes and have the same diameter holes for the carriage bolts. Awesome service, fast delivery!

I so appreciate you expediting my shipping and getting the receiver to me on-time. Not only if it would stop raining, so I can install it, but alas.

It was super easy to install other than not having been gifted with 2 extra hands.
by: Joshua12/16/2021
Does the job. When I received it, many areas of the hitch had a fair amount of rust, one area (connection tab) was bent and scratched. Too difficult to return so I just installed it. Install was easy.

I apologize for the damage to the hitch. It is important to cover any bare metal or file rust then cover with anti-corrosive paint. Here are more tips in this article:

hitch came wrapped in plastic with majority of plastic torn off and no cardboard supporting the outer corners leaving raw metal scuffed down below the paint. Hardward bag had a hole in it missing bolts and nuts to assemble the hitch on my Mercedes sprinter. Very disappointed in the packaging of the item.

Fast shipping, product packaging on time! Instruction video how to install it was very helpful. Very high quality for the price
by: Andy02/16/2022
Hitch would definitely be a ten if the paint wasn’t chipped and the instructions weren’t destroyed due to getting wet. What kind of finish is applied as I didn’t see any primer where the paint is chipped?
I will sand a, primer and paint the raw metal as I Don’t want it to rust.
It looks like a great hitch and possibly better packing and UPS keeping it out of the rain and putting a good size hole in the box would have been ideal.
Great support from your team on ordering and follow up!

I will have our customer service team reach out to you. The hitches are coated in a black powder coat at the factory. I recommend touching up the affected places on the hitch with a rust resistant paint. This will help to prevent rust and also you will have it on hand for regular hitch maintenance.

I will try to take pictures on the next one I install, but these are as close to OEM as you can get. Make sure you order exactly to the specifications of your van and you will be very pleased with the outcome. Only took about 30 minutes to install. I only wish it had a step like the Mercedes one comes with. I think all users will be pleased, also I am happy to answer any questions for any Sprinter owners.

- Best Wiring Brackets for a 7-Way Harness on a 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500To attach your 2018 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500's factory 7-way to the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 75549 you will want to use the Mounting Bracket for 7-Way item # 18138. To attach it to the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C13388 you will need the Curt Easy Mount Bracket for 7-Way Trailer Connectors item # C58000. This bracket attaches directly to your receiver which allows for a clean no drill install. To round out your towing setup I recommend the Curt Towing Starter...

- Trailer Hitch Recommendations for a 2018 Freightliner Sprinter 3500 Chassis with 170" WheelbaseThere are a few different options depending on what kind of bumper your 2018 Freightliner Sprinter 3500 Chassis comes with. If you have the factory step bumper I recommend the Curt # 13358, if you have the standard bumper then I recommend the Curt # C13388, and if you don't have the factory step bumper then I recommend the Draw-Tite # 75549. Please note that none of these will fit if you have a 30-3/8" frame measured from the outside to outside of your frame. The installation details...
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch For 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 Long Wheelbase Standard BumperAs long as your 2020 Sprinter 2500 with the 170 inch wheelbase and standard bumper isn't a passenger van and the frame members do NOT measure 30-3/8 inches apart measured outside of frame to outside of frame, the Curt Class III hitch, part # C13388 will fit perfectly. If you have the passenger version, you'll want to use the Draw-Tite # 75549 instead. If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like part # TK82VR for a 4 pin connector or # TK22115 for...

view full answer... - Does Draw Tite Hitch # 75549 Fit 2019 Freightliner Sprinter with Standard BumperSince your 2019 Freightliner Sprinter has the standard bumper the Draw Tite hitch part # 75549 that you referenced is the correct fit. It also will not interfere with your rear spare either.

For each hitch I measured from the center of the top mounting hole to the lowest point. On the Curt hitch this measurement was 11" and on the Draw-Tite it was 12-1/4", meaning the Curt # C13388 is definitely the best...

- Recommended Trailer Hitch for 2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Passenger Model with Standard BumperThe Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 75549 is a fit for a 2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Passenger Model with Standard Bumper but you do need to be sure you don't have the 30-3/8" frame, measured outside to outside of frame.

- Do Hitches for 2021 Mercedes Benz 2500 Sit Lower if Step Bumper is PresentThe hitches that fit the 2021 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 2500 with the step bumpers like part # 75601 do sit lower than the vehicles that do not have the step bumper like part # 75549. If you check out the two picture I attached you can see that the hitches fit right up to the bottom of the rear bumper and if the step is there the hitch sits the width of the step down from that point.

- Recommended Hitch for a 2024 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500To add a hitch to your 2024 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500, I recommend the etrailer item # e82TR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Sprinter with included hardware. It fits both the 144" and 170" wheelbase models so long as you have the factory step bumper. The etrailer item # e82TR is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 5,000 lbs towing capacity and a 500 lbs maximum tongue weight. These capacities can be increased to 7,500 lbs and 750 lbs when used with a weight distribution...
view full answer... - What is Meant By "When Used With Weight Distribution" To Go From 600 TW to 750 TWThat is referring to the usage of a weight distribution hitch, like the Blue Ox Track Pro # BLU47FR. Weight distribution systems are designed to help distribute the tongue weight of the trailer to the front axle of the tow vehicle, in doing so they also can increase the towing capacity of a vehicle. The best way to pick the correct weight distribution hitch is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the trailer. For example the Blue Ox Track Pro # BLU47FR, is made for trailers with...
view full answer... - Draw Tite Hitch Fit Recommendation for 2016 Mercedes Sprinter 3500 with 144 inch WheelbaseI believe you meant to type 366.5 cm wheelbase as that would equal 144 inches which the Draw Tite hitch part # 75549 would be a fit for your 2016 Mercedes Sprinter if you didn't have the factory step bumper. If you did have the factory step bumper you would want the part # 75601.
view full answer... - Do Trailer Hitches Install Inside Trailer Frame for 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500Both the Draw-Tite # 75549 and Curt # C13388 trailer hitches mount to the inside of the frame so they won't be a problem for your 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 with the standard bumper. I kind of like the look of the Curt better to I recommend going that route over the Draw-Tite, plus we have found that the Curt hitches tend to have better welds and a thicker powder coat so they are a little more durable.
view full answer... - Why Does Curt Hitch 13358 Fit 2011 Mercedes Sprinter Passenger VanIt's an exhaust placement issue that prevents the Curt hitch part # 13358 from fitting the passenger van versions of the 2011 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 2500. That's why you'd need the Draw Tite # 75549.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit For 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 w/ Standard BumperThe frames are different on cargo van and passenger van versions of the 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500, which is why the Curt Hitch 13388 won't fit. I did check with our manufacturers and the only option for a hitch that fits your '17 Sprinter 2500 with the standard bumper (not the step bumper) is the Draw-Tite you mentioned: - Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75549 I understand it isn't the news you are wanting to hear, but it is only fit for your van.

To keep it simple I have two options for you where the only difference is the bumper style. -Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75549 (144" or 170" wheelbase with standard bumper) -Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75601 (144" or 170" wheelbase with factory step bumper) You will also need to know the outside to outside frame measurement.

view full answer... - Ground Clearance with Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Installed on a 2014 Mercedes Sprinter 2500We haven't installed Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75549 on a 2014 Sprinter 2500 but on the 2016 model year after the hitch was installed, see video, it measured 17-1/4 inches from the ground to the top of the receiver opening. So from the ground to the bottom of the receiver would be about 15 inches.
view full answer... - Does the Exhaust Need to be Modified To install the Draw-Tite 75549 on a 2020 Sprinter 2500?I can definitely say the Draw-Tite # 75549 will fit your 2020 Mercedes-Bens 2500. It also looks like the stock exhaust will not need to be modified for the install. I included an install video we did on a 2016 Sprinter for you to take a look at as well. There was no trimming or anything required and did just bolt right to the frame.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Fit for 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 with 170 Inch Wheelbase and Standard BumperThere isn't going to be any noticeable difference in the fit between the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 75549 and Curt Trailer Hitch # C13388 that fit your 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 with a 170 inch wheelbase and standard bumper. The reason for that is both hitches install in the exact same spot on the frame, and both will be about flush with the bumper on your Sprinter. Both hitches have a 6,000 lb towing capacity and 600 lb tongue weight capacity but the biggest differences are that...

But to be sure you can measure the width of the frame. Frame width is measured from the outside of one frame rail to the outside of the other. If your measurement is 30-3/8 inches then this hitch will NOT fit your van.
