Having trouble figuring out which hitch to order for my 2002 freightliner sprinter with the OM612.

Most brands seem to offer from 03' and up but i am having a tough time finding a listing for any 02'.............. The Curt Manufacturing 14250 appears to be a fit but is listed for an 03 to 06 i believe it was.

I have no preference on brand or style. I just want it to be a 2" receiver. Also any advice on a 7 wire trailer pigtail/plug and plug in trailer brake controller would be great. Thanks in advance, Jack.

Thank you bill. that is the supplier i kept winding up back at when i was researching online. I just wasn't seeing anything for the 02' looking at the 03' i thought it looked the same but could not find dimensions to compare measurements.

You don't mention model (2500, 3500), WB, etc. That can matter.

NAS aka NAFTA 2001 - 2003 vs 2004 - 2006 won't matter.

What can figure in to what fits properly is WB (118, 140, 158), stock bumper vs step bumper.

Some info on the 2500 140 WB is here.
