Specs:
The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability. This unique powder coating gives etrailer hitches a carbide-like appearance and a rugged look that sets them apart from traditional glossy hitches. In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.
At etrailer we're committed to the products we sell, and to our customers. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are available via both phone and email to address your questions and concerns for the lifetime of your hitch.

Review from a similar Trailer Hitch 13388 in Trailer Hitch
Stout hitch that matches the quality of the factory unit. My van came with a factory hitch which I sold when I installed an aluminess bumper. After realizing the massive flaws with the aluminess bumper I tried to find another factory hitch for a decent price. Failing I bought this. Very impressed with this hitch. My bikes bounce less on this hitch than the factory unit. The 600lb tongue probably has something to do with it either way a great alternate to a very expensive Mercedes’ unit. S always etrailer is a great outfit.

this is what I wanted my installation
Review from a similar Trailer Hitch 13388 in Trailer Hitch
Very solid hitch, well made. It took me about 3 hours to install. Requires drilling two holes on the underside of the vehicle frame, the using a wire to fish the bolts into the frame of the vehicle. I could not accomplish the install until I modified the provided tool by adding an additional two foot section of bailing wire to the provided tool. I had some difficulty with understanding the provided instructions. The instructions could be a little more user friendly. Overall, I am very pleased with the this hitch and how it is installed on the vehicle.

The product is solid, like every other hitch I've got from etrailer.com.
It was easy to install on my 2019 Sprinter van 2500. The instructions were straight forward and it didn't take a very long time to install the hitch (Maybe 20min total)
I really like the way it seats underneath the bumper

Super easy install and perfect fit for my 2019 Sprinter 2500. Given that my intended use for the hitch was to attach a bike rack or additional storage, versus towing, I did not install the additional bolts that require drilling. Looks great, low profile

The product was shipped in a really heavy duty box but still came pretty banged up. The instructions were good but this was supposed to be a bolt-in product. One of the holes needs to be drilled but since the entire frame is boxed I can't get the hardware through the other side.

Hitch was perfect when it arrived. All bolted up and ready to go! Everything I needed was in the box. This is my 3rd etrailer hitch and they all mounted 'without a hitch'!!

Review from a similar Trailer Hitch 13388 in Trailer Hitch
The installation instructions don't exactly work for a 2021 Sprinter 2500. The access hole to fish the vertical hardware through doesn't exist as the instructions point out. There is a smaller hole on the side of the rail, but it would have to be made larger to fit the bolt head through. Even if it was made larger I wasn't convinced the plate would fit through, given how long it is, and I didn't want to add another hole to the bottom of the rail. Instead I opted to not install the vertical hardware, though I'm not sure what impact that has on the rating of the receiver. I don't plan on towing anything too heavy, but if you are, I can't recommend this receiver for this van.

Curt Hitch was self installed in about an hour. Did not run into any difficultly. I used a small car jack to help me lift up the hitch into place so that I can push the bolts through the holes. All-in-all a pretty smooth process. The hitch fit 2015 sprinter without factory rear step very well and looked good.

Box is in bad condition . Everything seems to be okay.
Review from a similar Trailer Hitch 13388 in Trailer Hitch
Product worked as described and at a good price. Shipped and arrived quickly. The box was beat up and hitch was coming out of it when it arrived. This meant that the hitch was scuffed, chipped, and a bit beat up when I got it, which was disappointing.

My van had most of the holes pre-drilled.
Got it installed in under an hour with the help of the buddy.

Review from a similar Trailer Hitch 13388 in Trailer Hitch
Installed on a 2019 Sprinter 4x4 for approximately a year, then removed it to install an Aluminess bumper/receiver/storage box/spare tire kit. There is a lot to like about this Curt receiver. The fit and finish are up to Curt's usual standards, and I like how the Curt receiver required drilling two vertical holes in the subframe to provide additional points of contact for the hitch receiver. I would trust the Curt receiver more than the Aluminess bumper/receiver/etc when towing a trailer with a weight-distribution hitch. However, because we need external storage and a second spare tire more than we need the ultimate Class III receiver, I removed the Curt. This is not a criticism of the Curt, and I don't regret the purchase.
Review from a similar Trailer Hitch 13388 in Trailer Hitch
For '09 Sprinter 3500. Good product, good fit. Less prone to rust than other brands.
Includes Grade 8 bolts. With other brands, I have had to purchase grade 8 bolts, because only grade 5 were included.
I only pull fairly light trailers. I wouldn't anticipate any problems with any size trailer.
A tab on the drivers side for the lights plug would be helpful. Self tapping screws in the side worked fine though.
If thread lock tape or liquid was included, that would be nice.
Thanks for providing a quality product and a reasonable price and super fast shipping.
etrailer is always great to do business with.
Thanks,
Keith
