Expert Answers about Dodge Sprinter
- Available Hitch Receivers for Use on 2006 Dodge Sprinter with TommyGate Lift
- Your Sprinter's TommyGate lift does present a bit of an obstacle for hitch installation. I would not attempt such an installation unless you can confirm with the TommyGate folks that your unit has the capacity to support a hitch-mounted load. I tend to doubt this.
But we do have frame-mount hitches made specifically for RVs that can be either welded or bolted on. These all have 2-inch receivers and offer gross trailer weight ratings of up to 500-lbs. All are shown on the linked page. We...

- I do have a good solution for you, however. I confirmed with Thule that the Thule Elite Van XT 2 Bike Rack for Sprinter Rear Door # TH302043 will not fit a 2005 Dodge Sprinter Van.
However, the next best solution is to use a hitch and a hitch-mounted bike carrier. For the bike rack, I recommend the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 2" Hitches # SH22G along with the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch Extender for Bike Racks # PVP20B. The great thing about the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 with the Pivot...

- The rails on the 63153 cargo carrier are 5-1/2 inches tall, and the raised shank on the carrier lifts the unit up about 2-1/2 inches.
At 8 inches taller than the hitch opening, you should not have a problem opening your doors above the empty cargo carrier.

- For use with a 2-inch hitch bike carrier I recommend the Curt Class III hitch # 13250 as it is a confirmed fit on your 2004 Dodge Sprinter with step bumper and 140-inch wheelbase. Class IV hitch # 14250 fits your van too but for use with a bike rack you will not need this hitch's 1000-lb tongue weight (TW) capacity, so the Curt # 13250, rated for 600-lbs TW, will be a great choice that actually costs you less.
The linked photo shows you the appearance of the hitch and step bumper after...
view full answer... - Can a Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack and Cargo Carrier be Used at the Same Time
- With the 24x60 Railed Cargo Carrier, # 63153, installed in the trailer hitch, you will not be able to install anything else in the hitch and nothing can be installed in the tubing in the cargo carrier. What you could do is use the Curt Dual 2 Inch Receiver Tube Adapter, # D-192. However, the bikes will be hanging above the cargo carrier, limiting the amount of space on the carrier.
Also this adapter/extension has a tongue weight rating of 350 pounds. This means that the cargo carrier,...

- The MB Sturgis Horizontal 2-Stage Propane Regulator # 108221 is an excellent choice for a propane regulator! This works directly with your propane pigtail if you have a 1/4" Male NPT fitting. If you have the inverted fitting then you'll need the Adapter # 37207-30035 for the inlet side of the regulator.
view full answer... - Will Ultra-Fab Motorcycle Carrier Fit a 2005 Dodge Sprinter and a Zuma Scooter
- The Ultra-Fab motorcycle carrier, # UF48-979033, well add around 30 inches to the back of your Sprinter van. This carrier has a straight tongue so once installed and loaded it will most likely sag a little in the back. This can cause some bottoming out on inclines but it really depends on the incline and how high the receiver is on the vehicle to begin with. Also, the more distance from the rear axle to the back end, the more likely it is to bottom out.
The Sprinter will need to have a...

- The SuperSprings Suspension Stabilizer # SSA11MTKT is designed to work with your OEM leaf springs on your 2008 Sprinter.
As long as the installation of the # SSA11MTKT does not interfere with the sway bar or the Timbrens, you can use this system.
view full answer... - Will Curt Bumper Mount Trailer Hitch # E-100 Fit a 4-1/4 Inch Bumper on a Starcraft Starsteam 24QB
- The Curt hitch # E-100 needs a 4 inch square continuous welded steel bumper to install safely. If by removing the decorative trim, you are left with a 4 inch square continuous welded steel bumper, then this hitch will work for you. Be sure to check the owners manual to determine if the bumper can be used for this application.
the safest option is to go with a frame mount hitch. I have included a link to the options for you. The most popular is Curt hitch # 13703 because it fits a wide...
view full answer... - Can Size 225/75-16 Sized Tire Chains be Used for Size 235/85-16 Tires?
- I found an answer that will work. Unfortunately, the Konig Standard Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern # TH01571245 cannot be modified without undermining the integrity/safety of the tire chains to fit a 235/85-16 tire. However, we do sell some tire chains with that size. I recommend the Titan Chain Snow Tire Chains w/ Cams # TC2821CAM. The Titan chains involve a manual installation with cam tightening for a tight, secure fit. They are also the great economic option. If you need more than...

- You actually should shoot for 4-1/2" of clearance between the top of your tire and the bottom of the fender well. This accounts for flex in your suspension.
Unless 2,280 lbs is the GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) of your trailer then you need to look into lifting your trailer as opposed to smaller tires. Even just going down to 4.80R12 tires, like part # TT48012C, gives you an overall weight capacity of 3,960 lbs. This means that you can load about 1,700 lbs on your trailer before it...
view full answer... - Can Rear Doors be Opened on 2004 Dodge Sprinter with Yakima EXO Y44ZR Cargo Carrier Installed
- The rear doors on the 2004 Dodge Sprinter open to the sides of the vehicle. The Yakima EXO Swing Away Storage System w/ Enclosed Cargo Carrier and Cargo Carrier - 2" Hitches # Y44ZR will swing out to the side of the vehicle on the passenger's side. It would allow you to open the doors most of the way if not all the way. I have included some links to the right to videos on the swing away cargo system.

- Yes. A step like the Carr Custom-Fit Side Step - Hoop II - Black Powder Coated Aluminum - 7" Step - Qty 1
Item # CARR104501-1 would have some adjustment to allow you to fold up when not in use and provide a large, flat, non-skid surface for you to get into and out of your Dodge Sprinter. These are the only style of steps available to fit your 2006 Dodge Sprinter van.
view full answer... - What Tire Chains for 2008 Dodge Sprinter with LT245/75/16 Tires on Factory Rims
- These Glacier Mud Service Snow Tire Chains, part # TC2439, are compatible with the light truck tires on your 2008 Sprinter. These are a good choice for off-road use.
For strictly on-road applications you can use part # PWH2221SC, the Glacier Tire Chains for the 2008 Sprinter. These low-carbon steel twist-link chains tighten manually with included cams.
For either of the above chains, we recommend use of a rubber chain tension adjuster, part # PW99.

- A new harness may be the solution, but you may not need to spend money to fix the problem of your turn signals not working with the trailer wiring on your 2005 Dodge Sprinter; what you can do first is a bit of troubleshooting to find out.
In order to determine the specific problem, you will need to use a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 to test the connector on your Sprinter after disconnecting it from your trailer. Check the wiring going into your harness from your taillights to see if...
view full answer... - Recommended Awning For A 2006 Dodge Sprinter Van
- Awnings like the Solera 12V XL Power RV Awning # LCV000334919-362241 aren't really intended for use on the side of a sprinter van but if you could still technically install it on your 2006 Dodge Sprinter. The arms of the awning will need to be bolted into studs and needs to sit on a flat surface so you'll most likely need to do a lot of modification to your van to safely install this.
Typically most van owners use the Thule HideAway Awning # TH490011, as it's specifically designed for...

- We have confirmed in the past that the Yakima Landing Pad 1 will fit the RT style tracks from Rhino-Rack so you can definitely use a Yakima setup for your application (which I would recommend over Thule even if we knew that Thule would work). You will need to following parts for a whole roof rack setup on your 2006 Dodge Sprinter 2500:
Rhino-Rack RT-Style Roof Rack Tracks - # RRRTV208
Landing Pad 1 - # Y00221 (you need 2 of this kit)
SkyLine Towers - # Y53TR

- We do have an option for a hitch cargo carrier that will work for your Class C motorhome, is rated for 500 lbs, and is able to carry your gear. While there isn't one that will specifically state "Acceptable for Class C" what you will need is a cargo carrier with a fixed shank and not a foldable carrier:
