This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.
by: Randolph 03/22/2024
Hitch was just fine, but I wish it had a place to mount the trailer plugs. It was very confusing on ordering the bolts. At the time I ordered it the new year model was not on the web site yet, but hitch placement did not change. I would have paid extra to have the bolts and away to mount the trailer plug.

The hitch was a breeze to install, it took about an hour taking my time. The electronic box took a little longer, but was easy as well. Since it's been on the Sprinter we've pulled a utility trailer (6x12) with gate and full sides. The hitch and relay box have worked flawlessly. I highly recommend the hitch, relay box and etrailer.

Everything is still working as it should. The hitch has not rusted out as predicted by a Mercedes snob on the Sprinter Forum. So glad I saved the money and went with your product.
by: Robert04/24/2023
Just installed today and seems very well constructed. Online instructions were helpful. Hangs a little lower than I anticipated. Needed to add trailer connector bracket.
by: Matt F07/23/2017
Ordered it on Sunday and it arrived on Thursday. Build quality and finish look good. My only real disappointment is the hit wasn't packaged well for transportation (basically a large plastic bag wrapped and taped around the hitch) so it arrived with damage to the paint in a few areas. I touched it up with black spray paint before installation.
Installation was very easy. The bolts that held my rear step in place were already oriented correctly so I didn't have to remove them and reinsert from the opposite side. There was some overspray/over applications of the vehicle undercoating onto the mounting surface, but it was easily removed with a putty knife. I didn't have a second set of hands to help so I used a set of jack stands to support the main cross member of the hitch and simply pivoted it into place, sliding a bolt in on each side to keep in there before sliding under the van to install and torque the rest. 30 minutes start to finish.
Nice looking hitch. If it weren't for the shipping damage from the poor packing job I would have given it 5 stars.
by: Tom01/09/2021
I have had great products com from etrailers over the years! But this [hitch] from Curt is as bad of an example of American Workmanship I’ve ever seen! The welds are absolutely awful, I’ve been welding 35 years and 20 of that in robotics. I know Curt industries and would think they could produce better.
by: Shaun04/18/2023

Install was quick an easy. I would recommend a floor jack or extra set of hands to hold the hitch up while lining up the bolts.

Ordered a few things now from this company and they are legit . My new Curt hitch for my 2019 Mercedes-Benz sprinter Company van arrived on time . Thanks for delivering the product professionally and unscratched. The installation was easy looks tight .Thanks etrailer
by: James08/14/2023
It did fit however it was tight around the muffler. Could be because I have a gas powered Mercedes Sprinter Van rather than diesel.

Thank you!!

Simple installation. Perfect fit for a 2020 Sprinter 2500 4x4 diesel. No interference from exhaust tailpipe. Requires 18mm socket ans wrench. Needed a 1/2 drive breaker bar w/ 18mm deep socket to loosen the bumper M12 bolts.

by: Paul 05/15/2023
ETrailer was very easy to deal with. The purchase went smoothly online and once completed I received updates when its status changed until delivery. It even arrived on my doorstep in Alaska sooner than anyone local could promise. The receiver bolted right up to my van as I would expect a Curt product to.

It is rare to happen however it does happen from time to time. I do see that we have shipped the correct hardware out to you. A quick way to check to make sure that the hardware is correct is to check the manual part number against the hitch part number.
by: John04/08/2023
The hitch is good quality but it's shipped in plastic. My plastic came torn and my brand new hitch arrived scratched and missing paint.

Fit perfectly on my 2010 sprinter and the instructions were very helpful.
by: Lucas01/24/2023
The hitch kit is great, super easy to install and is actually a lot sturdier than it looks in the picture. Hitch was missing a few tiny paint chips from the shipping method.
Side note, if you plan on removing your rear step make sure to order the plastic trim piece to replace it. It wasn’t until I started the install that I noticed the plastic trim for the step and the top lip of the “bumper” is all one piece.

- Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for a 2012 Mercedes Sprinter Van 2500 w 170 WheelbaseSince your 2012 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter with a 170 inch wheel base does not have a step bumper you would want the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13388. The Curt Hitch # 13358 that you referenced would not work for you because it is designed for vehicles with step bumpers and you do not have one. For wiring I would recommend you get a Tekonsha Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring # 118650. I attached installation instructions and an installation video for this product for you to check out also.
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2021 Mercedes Sprinter 3500 170 Wheelbase and Dual Rear WheelsThe Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13358 will fit a 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 that has a 170" wheel base and the dual rear wheels. This receiver is designed to fit models that have the factory step bumper, and will not fit passenger vans or frames that are only 30-3/8" wide outside to outside. I have linked an installation video below that was done on a similar 2014 Sprinter The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13388 is for models that have a standard bumper and not the step bumper....
view full answer... - Will Roadmaster Skid Wheel # RM-050 Prevent Scraping When Carrying Bike RackYes, the Roadmaster Rollaway Skid Wheel part # RM-050 will fit the Curt hitch you have installed part # 13358. To determine where the roller will be relative to the hitch height you'd need to measure 3-1/4 inches down from the hitch pin hole. Comparing that dimension to your current setup will allow you to know if you'd have enough clearance.

Keep in mind that this trailer hitch is a fit for 2018 Sprinter 2500's with 144 and 170 inch wheelbases with a factory step bumper.

view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2016 Mercedes Sprinter 3500As you are looking for a 5,000 pound hitch for your 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500, I suggest going with the Curt # 13358. This will have the capacity needed as well as fit your vehicle properly as well. I included an install video we did on this as well.
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.

If the Rola Cargo Carrier is too high for you to open the doors on your 2021 Sprinter 2500 chassis, there are other cargo carriers that do not the added 2-inch rise of the Rola carrier.

If you're using it for a carrier it should come with a specific hitch pin and clip. If you'll be towing the only other things you'll need are wiring and a ball mount/hitch ball.

The installation itself looks pretty straightforward but it is worth noting that the hardware you'll be removing holds up the bumper so you need to make sure you have it secured before all of the hardware has been completely removed.

This hitch model is designed for either the 144" or 170" wheelbase Sprinter vans with the factory step bumper and is a confirmed fit.

view full answer... - Should Holes of Trailer Hitch be Plugged to Prevent CorrosionI can totally see why that seems like it would help but unless you could ensure that the seal was watertight you'd end up allowing moisture to get into the hitch tube but not able to easily evaporate which would then make potential corrosion even worse due to prolonged exposure to moisture. Best option is keep the holes open, keep the hitch reasonably clean, and rinse off any salt exposure as soon as you can. Also don't be afraid to hit the hitch with spray paint to cover up paint chips...
