• Fixed and Folding Hitch Steps for 2-Inch Hitch on 2017 Ford F-250

• Available Side or Rear Step for 2019 Ram 3500 with 8 Foot Bed and Single Rear Wheel

• Availability of Boat Trailer Step for Trailer With H-Frame
• We don't have anything specifically for an H-frame but you could use the HitchMate Boat Trailer Step # HE4036. This fits frames up to 3" wide and 5" tall. Because of the design of your frame, I would consider adding a block into the channels to reinforce it where the step is mounted.

• Availability of Trailer Hitch for 2017 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 With 30-3/8 Inch Frame Width
• There are two primary reasons why a hitch isn't available for the narrow framed Sprinter 3500 models. First, the vehicles aren't super-common, the wider framed vehicle is much more prevalent. Secondly, most of these vehicles are used as commercial vehicles that have been equipped by aftermarket upfitter companies that commonly add utility or service bodies or steps such as your vehicle is equipped with. It'd be difficult for the hitch manufacturers to develop a hitch because the way the...

• Is There A Longer Handle Available For A Curt A16 Fifth Wheel Hitch
• Curt currently only offers a standard size replacement handle with part # C58UR for the Curt A16 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch # C16120. My father has the same issue with his Silverado and B&W Companion and just keeps a folding 2-step ladder in the bed to pull the handle as well as to help him get in and out of the bed to get firewood out. I recommend picking up a really compact ladder like the Telesteps Folding Step Stool # TE97FR to help reach the handle.
