Hitch Recommended for 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 Cargo Van
Question:
Which of the available hitches for the 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 have the highest ground clearance? My van is a 144 inch wb cargo version with the standard bumper.
asked by: Curtis J
Expert Reply:
On this particular vehicle, the design of the rear bumper and its relation to the frame will dictate where the hitch sits. All the hitches available for the 2019 Sprinter 2500 with the standard bumper will sit pretty much up against the underside of the rear bumper as shown in the provided photo.
Of the two hitches available for the way your van is set up, either the Curt # C13388 or the Draw-Tite # 75549 would work perfectly. Both hitches have similar weight capacities, but Curt has a slightly more durable finish in my opinion so that's what I'd personally choose.
For trailer wiring, I'd recommend the # 119250KIT from Tekonsha. For a ball mount, I'd recommend # D-4 and Hitch Pin and Clip, # PC3. For a 1-7/8 inch trailer ball, use # 19260 or # 63845 for a 2 inch.
