Trailer Hitch for 2006 Dodge Sprinter, 118 Inch Wheelbase that Doesnt Require Modifying Step Bumper
Question:
I have the rear step bumper on my van. Will your Curt 13250 hitch fit without modifying it ? I need to keep the spare under the vehicle, does it remain in place with this model hitch? thanks a ton !

Your 2006 Dodge Sprinter with 118 inch wheelbase and step bumper should look like the one in the picture I have included. The hitch does fit models with the factory step bumper. You will not have to modify the vehicle at all to install the hitch. The only special step is to snap off a corner of the included spacer plates (for models with step bumper only). The plates are designed for this. I have included a link to the instructions and a link to a video showing installation for you. The video does show snapping off part of the spacer plates.
Installation of this hitch does require relocation of the spare tire. The hitches that fit the 118 inch wheelbase models will require relocation of the spare.
If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
For trailer wiring you can use # C59496.
