  • Trailer Hitch, Wiring, and Brake Controller Recommendation for 2016 Mercedes Sprinter 2500
  • Yes, for your 2016 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 2500 the Draw Tite hitch part # 75549 is a fit and my recommendation for your application as it has the capacity you need and installs easily as well. 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...

  • Enclosed Cargo Carrier Recommendation for Mercedes Benz Sprinter RV
  • Not all enclosed cargo carriers are approved for use at the rear of an RV like the part # M2205-01-02 that you referenced but I do have a great solution for you that is. You'd want the GearDeck 17 Enclosed Cargo Carrier part # H00604 which is RV approved and will work well. This can carry up to 17 cubic feet of storage space and has a 420 lb capacity. I attached a picture of what the carrier looks like installed on an RV as well as an install video for more info as well.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2017 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 2500 Long Wheelbase
  • For your 2017 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 2500 with a step bumper and a 170 inch wheelbase the trailer hitch I would recommend is the Curt hitch # 13358 which is a confirmed fit. I like this hitch because it's made in the USA, has great towing capacities at 5,000 lb towing capacity and 500 lb tongue weight, and is priced great.

  • Recommended Roof Rack System For 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Van
  • I reached out to Rhino Rack on your behalf about your situation. The confirmed that the backbone system # RR57AT does not fit your vehicle. I do have tracks that will work for you though. These tracks # RRRTV208 are 81 inches long and have about 26 rivets that install on your roof. Then you can get these feet # RRRLT600 to attach to the tracks using these two components # RRQMFK11-4 and # RRQMHD05-4. Then all you need is crossbars # RRVA180B-4. This is the 4 crossbar setup.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 Long Wheelbase Standard Bumper
  • As long as your 2020 Sprinter 2500 with the 170 inch wheelbase and standard bumper isn't a passenger van and the frame members do NOT measure 30-3/8 inches apart measured outside of frame to outside of frame, the Curt Class III hitch, part # C13388 will fit perfectly. If you have the passenger version, you'll want to use the Draw-Tite # 75549 instead. If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like part # TK82VR for a 4 pin connector or # TK22115 for...

  • Sway Bar Recommendation for 2017 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 2500 without Sway Bar
  • For your 2017 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 2500 the Roadmaster sway bar kit part # RM-1209-128 is a confirmed fit and will work great. Since you do not have a factory sway bar you will need to also use the # RM-590064-00 when you install it. If you check out the installed picture I attached for this sway bar you'll see that it mounts at an angle so getting the cut out dimension as it would be parallel to the ground may not be helpful. The picture though would most likely let you know if you...

  • 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 Trailer Hitch Recommendation
  • For your 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 you really can't go wrong with either Curt or Draw-Tite as they are both very respected brands. When choosing which one, you do want to check and see if your Sprinter has the standard bumper or the factory step bumper. If yours has the standard bumper I would go with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch part # 75549 because it is a little bit easier to install. It has a GTW of 6,000 pounds and a MTW of 600 pounds which are both the same as the...

  • For a rear cargo carrier on your 2019 Mercedes Sprinter, I recommend the 66x24 Lets Go Aero BossHog Slide-Out Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - 300 lbs # H01472.

  • Parts Needed to Convert 4-Way of 2016 Mercedes Benz Sprinter to 7-Way and Install Brake Controller
  • Since you have a 4-way already you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install video for this product as well. The only other thing you'll want is a stoplight switch kit part # RM-751000. The reason being that it is really hard to find a dedicated stoplight circuit on the Sprinter vans like your 2016 MB...

  • 2016 Mercedes Benz Sprinter Crew Van Front Floor Mats
  • Since the crew van is a hybrid between the Passenger and Cargo van, where you have a row of seats behind the front captains chairs, you would want to use the Passenger model mats (although its likely you could use either one and that the fronts of both models are going to be the same). You won't have any interference with the vent by adding front floor mats to your 2016 Sprinter van. Depending on your use of the van, you're probably going to be best served by going with a mat like the WeatherTech...

  • Aluminum Roof Cargo Basket Recommendation Similar to Curt Cargo Basket # C18115-117
  • The Curt cargo basket part # C18115-117 that you referenced has a powder-coated steel construction. If you wanted a similar aluminum basket the best solution would be the Thule # TH859XT-8591XT for the most similar in dimension as this measures 69" inch by 40" and the Curt measures 64-1/2" Long x 39".

  • In order to add a swinging cargo carrier to a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter you have a few options, the GearDeck 17 Enclosed Carrier part # H00604 doesn't swing away, but it does slide away.
