Which Trailer Hitch For A 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 Gives The Most Ground Clearance?
Question:
I am needing a trailer hitch on my 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 but need one that sits as close to the bumper as possible so I do not lose much ground clearance. I have the standard non-step bumper. Which hitch do I need?

Expert Reply:
For your 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 with the standard bumper, the Curt # C13388 and the Draw-Tite # 75549.
While we have not had a chance to install both of these hitches yet, when we measured these hitches we found that from the center of the upper mounting hole to the bottom of the hitch on the Draw-Tite # 75549 measured 12-1/4" where the Curt # C13388 measured 11" which you can see in these diagrams, meaning the Curt hitch will sit closer to your bumper and give you better ground clearance.
If you will be towing a trailer with your Sprinter you will also need to add a vehicle wiring harness # C59236 if you are needing a 4-way connector or the # TK22115 if you are needing a 7-way connector, and a ball mount, hitch ball, and hitch pin and clip which can all be found in the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900.
I included a link to the written instructions of the # C13388 along with videos of the other products mentioned for you to take a look at.
