Perfect fit for my Sprinter. Easy to install and very robust.

This kit was easy to install and has served reliably for the full year. No complaints, if I needed a new hitch this would be my choice.



by:
Mercedes-BenzSprinter

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.

Bill B.

7/27/2018

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:

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.



by:

The hitch was well packaged. The welds on the hitch were smooth and precise. The service and shipping were expertly expedited. I’m very impressed.



by:

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:

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:

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:
2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500

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.



by:
Mercedes-BenzSprinter

I need a hitch for my sprinter ASAP Brandon was super knowledgeable and friendly It was delivered in two days. normally don’t write reviews but the service was spectacular so I wanted to make sure to let people know what great service they provide.

Perfect match for my Sprinter. Website made it so easy to pick the right Hitch. eTrailer was so helpful too, and shipping was quick and professionally packaged.

Fast shipping and the hitch fit perfect! Drop the spare tire to make install easy. Awakening Wander has a great install video on you tube.

Hitch fit perfect, unfortunate had to modify aftermarket step bumper to make it work. Assume would not have to do with factory bumper

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:

I have bought several trailer hitch receivers for different vehicles, they have all been excellent, no problems.



by:
2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500

Super quick and easy to order. Fast delivery.

Easy, easy install. Took me as long to take the plastic off the hitch as it did to install it. 30 mins and done. Great video!

Thank you!!



by:

It did fit however it was tight around the muffler. Could be because I have a gas powered Mercedes Sprinter Van rather than diesel.



by:
2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500

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:
2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500

Easy install can't wait to put it to good use.



by:
2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500

The hitch was very easy to install. I installed just yesterday following the installation instruction. Take me 45 min to install by myself.



by:
2013 Mercedes-BenzSprinter

Hitch is as described. Fits perfectly under the factory step. Very easy installation, if you follow directions it's almost effortless.



by:

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.



by:
2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500

It came with the wrong hardware.

Etrailer Expert

Jenny N.

6/26/2023

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:

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.

Etrailer Expert

Jenny N.

4/10/2023

Oh my goodness! I am sorry that it arrived that way. Customer Service will be in touch.



by:
2010 Mercedes-BenzSprinter

Fit perfectly on my 2010 sprinter and the instructions were very helpful.



by:

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.

  • Will the Curt Hitch for a 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 Interfere With Factory Hitch
    The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13358 is a great option for a 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500. It will work with the factory exhaust without interference. I have attached a photo that shows how the hitch mounts up with the exhaust. I have attached the install instructions below which is for models with the factory exhaust.

  • Should Holes of Trailer Hitch be Plugged to Prevent Corrosion
    I 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...

  • Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for a 2012 Mercedes Sprinter Van
    For a hitch for your 2012 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van with a 144 inch wheelbase and a step bumper you would want the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13358 that you referenced. For a 2012 Sprinter van with a 144 inch wheel base without a step bumper you would want a Curt Hitch # 13358. For trailer wiring you would want a Tekonsha # 118650 harness. This will work on Sprinter vans with and without step bumpers. Check out the installation videos I attached below. Now to convert the 4-way to...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Between Curt 13358 And The Draw-Tite 75601 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500
    Both the Curt hitch # 13358 and Draw-Tite hitch # 75601 will fit your 2016 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 if you have the 170 inch wheel base and factory step bumper. Its almost a dead heat between the two, but I'm giving the edge to # 13358. The # 13358 has more positive reviews about this product and it is made is the USA. It also step-by-step install videos for you to watch on an earlier model of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter. Both hitches are Class III hitches with 2 inch receivers and they...

  • Trailer Hitch For A 2019 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 with Factory Step Bumper
    For your Sprinter 2500, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13358 that will do a great job for your bike carrier and more should you decide to tow later. This hitch model is designed for either the 144" or 170" wheelbase Sprinter vans with the factory step bumper and is a confirmed fit. I recommend the Kuat NV 2.0 Base 4-Bike Platform Rack # BA22B-BA02B as a solid option to carry your 4 bikes for an outing. The ratcheting hooks and straps mount the bikes by the tire so there...

This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Sprinter with included hardware. It fits both the 144" and 170" wheelbases.

  • Best Hitch Recommendation for a 2013 Mercedes Sprinter 2500
    Between the three hitches available for your 2013 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 with a step bumper you really aren't going to get much of a difference. I would recommend the Curt # 13358 just because it's priced the best. Aside from that you would see no difference between it and the other hitches. I attached an install video for you to check out as well. For a motorcycle carrier you could use the # UF48-979033 if you are in the market for one. I attached a review video for this carrier as well.

When choosing which one, you do want to check and see if your Sprinter has the standard bumper or the factory step bumper. If yours has the standard bumper I would go with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch part # 75549 because it is a little bit easier to install.
