Question:
Which of the available hitches for the 2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 have the highest ground clearance? My van is a 144 inch wb cargo version with the standard bumper.

Expert Reply:
On this particular vehicle, the design of the rear bumper and its relation to the frame will dictate where the hitch sits. All the hitches available for the 2019 Sprinter 2500 with the standard bumper will sit pretty much up against the underside of the rear bumper as shown in the provided photo.
Of the two hitches available for the way your van is set up, either the Curt # C13388 or the Draw-Tite # 75549 would work perfectly. Both hitches have similar weight capacities, but Curt has a slightly more durable finish in my opinion so that's what I'd personally choose.
For trailer wiring, I'd recommend the # 118649 from Tekonsha. For a ball mount, I'd recommend # 2923. For a 1-7/8 inch trailer ball, use # 19261 or # 63845 for a 2 inch.
