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.
etrailer.com Technical Support
At etrailer.com we're committed to the products we sell, and to our customers. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are available via both phone and email to address your questions and concerns for the lifetime of your hitch.

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 can confirm that this will fit on a 2023 sprinter. It bolted up with no problems.

Customer service was excellent!
The trailer hitch arrived super fast and in great condition!
The follow up from the sales team was prompt and on point.
I’d definitely order from etrailer.com again.

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

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: Brian07/28/2018
2014 Mercedes-BenzSprinter
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!!!
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: 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!
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!

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.

very timely on the delivery came package well
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.

Still very pleased, just ordered another one for another van should be here any day and I ordered a wiring harness for an 07 Sprinter excited to get that installed, love the OEM fit of all your products. Thank you etrailer team.

Hitch bolted on within ten minutes, looks great! Over the past year, I have used to haul equipment on trailer numerous times and have never had to worry about losing a load.
Thanks etrailer.

- Can I Use the Thule Elite Van XT 2 Bike Rack with the Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier # UF48-979033?As far as using the Thule Elite Van XT 2 Bike Rack # TH302043 along with the Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier for 2" Hitches # UF48-979033, it really depends on two things: the height of the rear doors on your 2021 Mercedes Sprinter 3500 and the height of your scooter. I did some research, and your rear doors on your van are 61 inches high. With that length, you will be able to mount the Elite Van XT 2's adhesive/permanent installation hardware high enough to give your carrier room on the hitch....

- Recommended Wiring and Brake Controller for a 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500Glad to hear you've been getting some good use out of your Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75549! I recommend using a brake controller with the least invasive installation for the intricate OEM wiring on your 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500. For that you need the Tekonsha # TK82VR which will have everything you need to install a 7-Way connector that carries all of the functions you need for the Curt Echo # C51180 brake controller. The Echo is a unique controller that simply...

This bracket will install to the left of the receiver opening on your Draw-Tite hitch item # 75549 on the steel tab that is on the frame of the hitch receiver. This will allow you to attach your Tekonsha 7-Way connector item # TK22115 directly to your hitch receiver for easy access.

If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch for 2016 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 Passenger Van w/ 144 Inch Wheelbase & Standard BumperWe do have the right trailer hitch receiver that fits your 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 passenger van with a 144 inch wheelbase and standard bumper, from Draw-Tite. The correct hitch is the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75549. Then, if you plan on doing some towing with your van and need a wiring harness and brake controller use the Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ Brake Controller Adapter - 7 Way # TK22115 with the Prodigy P3 Brake Controller # 90195.
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 Fit for 2013 Mercedes Sprinter 3500 DRW 144-Inch Without Step BumperI checked with my technical contact at Cequent Performance Products, parent company of Reese, Draw-Tite and other brands, and I am glad to confirm that you do have an option for a hitch for your 2013 Mercedes Sprinter 3500 DRW 144-Inch Without Step Bumper. You can use part # 75549. I have linked for you two helpful articles concerning hitch installation tips to make your install go a bit more easily. For a 4-pole wiring harness you can use # 119250KIT.
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... - Skid Wheel Recommendation for Hitch Installed on a 2012 Freightliner SprinterThe best solution I could make for you would be to have the Ultra Fab Micro Roller Skid Wheel part # UF48-979021 welded to the bottom of your hitch opening. This would work great with the Draw Tite Hitch part # 75549 that you have on your 2012 Freightliner Sprinter with a 170 inch wheelbase.
view full answer... - What Hitch Receiver Fits My 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter van with the 30-3/8", is smaller than the standard size Sprinter van. It is narrower. That is the reason the hitch receiver does not fit that frame, it is too wide. You can measure the width of your frame to determine if you have the normal size frame on your Sprinter van. If you do, the hitch receiver that is compatible with your 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 will depend on which bumper you have. The factory step bumper is compatible with the Draw-Tite...
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.

For the back if you have a factory step bumper you'll need this hitch # 75601 and if you have a Standard bumper you'll need this one # 75549. In order to use the Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier # Y62VR you'll need a class III hitch or higher. If you wanted to...

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.

I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well. To install a 7-way all you need is the # TK22115 and then the easiest solution for a brake controller is the Curt Echo Mobile part # C51180 which basically just plugs into an active 7-way and once synced to your smart phone is ready...
