It's possible that by installing a front mount trailer hitch on a 2020 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500, the EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7352, that you could trigger or interfere with sensors such as adaptive cruise control, forward collision monitoring, parking assist etc. That said, you really wouldn't know what systems are affected and how they are affected until you place items on the front of the vehicle as it could be different for each depending on what you're carrying. In some cases, you can turn these warning systems off using the in-dash settings.
I took a look through some of the reviews for the hitch and there were no mentions of interference with safety systems so it could just come down to each model and what it's equipped with/carrying.
