I spoke with my contact at Bully and the weight rating for the CR-605, CR-605LED, CR-600LEDand CR-600 Stainless Steel hitch steps is 350 lbs.

The receiver on Draw-Tite trailer hitch # 75549 does stick out past the bumper a few inches on the 2017 Mercedes Sprinter 2500. Take a look at the picture I have included for an example.
