  • Comparing Curt Trailer Hitch C13411 and C13294 For 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE43 AMG
  • You are correct that both the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13294 and # C13411 are confirmed to fit your 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE43 AMG. Both hitches have a hidden crosstube meaning that only the receiver itself will be visible once installed. I do however recommend the # C13294 as it has a slightly higher tongue weight rating at 750lbs, and a slightly higher trailer weight rating at 7500lbs. For wiring you will first need to install a 4-way connector using # 119250KIT. With a 4-way...

  • 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...

  • Difference Between 3 JR Products Propane Regulators
  • Those three regulators are all very similar and essentially do the same thing but they're used on different propane setups. Part # 37207-30365 is a vertical regulator. Vertical regulators are commonly on propane systems on travel trailers or pop up trailers Part # 37207-30375 is a horizontal regulator that also has POL fitting inserted into it. Horizontal regulators are usually what you see on motorhome systems. The tanks on motorhomes, called ASME tanks, also use a POL connection like...

  • Comparing 500 Lb and 1,000 Lb Front SumoSprings for a 2013 Mercedes Benz Sprinter
  • In regards to the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs part # SSF-106-47 for 1,000 lbs and part # SSF-106-40 for 500 lbs for a 2013 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, the difference is the hardness of the spring rather than length. Therefore, they will both engage at the same time but the amount of give for example will be different. The softer 500 lb spring will have more give therefore offers a smoother ride but also does not provide as much body roll reduction as the harder 1,000 lb version....

  • Comparing Available Hitches for a 2015 Mercedes Benz ML350 4matic
  • Typically most trailer hitches that fit on the same vehicle will have only subtle differences, like whether or not the cross tube is round or square, or whether the cross tube is concealed behind the bumper or not. The Curt # C13411 and the Draw-Tite # 76141 are both 2" hitches that will install in the exact same manner, so there isn't any real difference between the two. With that said, I do recommend going with the Curt # C13411 since Curt hitches do have a much more durable powder...

  • Comparing the Swagman Dispatch and Swagman Platform Rack for RV Use
  • For your Winnebago View Motorhome, the Swagman Dispatch # S44FR is without a doubt my recommendation. The Dispatch allows more room at the connection point to the motorhome for clearance but also is made to be much more sturdy and can support bikes up to 10 lbs heavier than the Swagman Platform-Style 2 Bike Rack for 2" Hitches or RV Bumpers # S64663 which is designed to be an economical hitch option. The Dispatch also gives you a 6-1/4 inch rise that the other rack does not for increased...

  • Best Brake Controller to Not Take Up Space in the Vehicle
  • The best brake controller to get if you don't want something taking up space in your wife's SUV is the Curt Echo, part # C51180. The only thing that'll be inside the vehicle is your smartphone or tablet that the Echo pairs to. It plugs into your 7-way and then communicates with your device which acts as the in-cab controller. I've linked a video for you to take a look at as well.

  • Comparing the Timbren # TMBFSP35 and SumoSprings # SSF-106-47 for a 2016 MB Sprinter 2500
  • Out of the Timbren # TMBFSP35 and the SumoSprings # SSF-106-47 suspension enhancement systems I recommend the SumoSprings. Although they are very similar the SumoSprings provide more of a cushion and aren't as harsh or stiff as the Timbrens. This gives you a much more comfortable ride. Both options have a 1,000 lb weight capacity but please note that they will not raise the weight capacity of your 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500. They are only meant to help support a suspension system...

  • Roadmaster Anti-Sway Bars for a 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 Comparison
  • It sounds like you are asking about how the two sway bars line up for installation on a 2017 Winnebago View 24V with a 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 chassis. The important thing to consider is the vehicle style here. For a Class C motorhome style of the 3500 chassis (which the Winnebago would be), you will need the 1-1/2" diameter sway bar, which is part # RM-1209-131. This will require 4 holes to be drilled in order to mount two of the brackets. I've linked to a video installation...

  • Is There a Custom Dash Pod for the Edge #EP83830 for Use in the 2013 Mercedes Benz Sprinter?
  • Gauge Display/Monitors such as the Edge Insight CS2, part # EP84030, are not vehicle specific. They work with virtually all 1996-and-later vehicles that are equipped with an OBD-II port, including your Sprinter. This product does not alter your vehicle performance in any way; its functions are purely for monitoring (up to 8) engine parameters. Presently we do not offer any performance tuners for your vehicle, just display-only products like the Edge CTS. My contact at Edge confirms that...

  • Comparing SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs for a 2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
  • Correct, the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-338-47 will have a softer ride than the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-338-54 as it's made of a softer spring. That said, the latter will also provide more support. They are both fits for a 2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter

  • Best Side Steps for Clearance and Stepping Area on a 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500
  • I actually have two varieties of the Carr Custom-Fit Side Steps to recommend for your 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500. The first are the Hoop II variety. They have a 5" drop and a stepping area of 7" long x 3-1/2" wide. If you prefer a polished aluminum look, then you can use part # CARR105772. If you prefer a silver powder look, use part # CARR105774. If you like the black powder coat, you can use part # CARR105771. I've linked to a video review of these for you to look at. As for...

  • Prodigy RF or P2/P3 Comparison
  • Both RF- and wired-type proportional Prodigy brake controllers use an accelerometer to detect braking in the tow vehicle in order to send a proportional brake signal to the trailer brakes. Performance wise they would be identical. The P2 does have to be mounted facing a certain direction so that it can properly sense decoration though so you would need to consider that as well. The RF # TK94FR doesn't require any permanent modification to install though which is nice and the remote can...
