With the factory tow package on your 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500, you will need the following:

Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 3 Axles - Proportional Part # RED44FR,
Tekonsha Custom Wiring Adapter for Trailer Brake Controllers - Dual Plug In part # 3063-P, and the
Redarc Tow-Pro Wiring Adapter for Tekonsha Brake Controller Harness, part # 331-TPH-017.

This brake controller activates your brakes in proportion to your vehicle's braking. The trailer's braking is automatically adjusted to your vehicle's deceleration. The main unit installs out of sight, keeping a nice factory look in your vehicle. You will need the Tekonsha wiring adapter to connect your Redarc Tow-Pro Elite to your Tekonsha brake controller wiring harness.

I have included product description links, a video review of the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite brake controller, and video demo links below.
