Thanks for the pictures! The best hitch for your 2023 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 is the etrailer item # e82TR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Mercedes with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 5,000 lbs towing capacity and a 500 lbs maximum tongue weight that can be increased to 7,500 lbs and 750 lbs when used with a weight distribution system.
The reason the etrailer item # e82TR is the best hitch is because of its ease of installation and affordable price. This hitch installs using 8 bolts already attached to your Sprinter's frame. There's no cutting or trimming required.
If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # TK82VR and a ball mount kit item # C45534. This harness is for the models without the factory towing package.
