2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 Passenger towing capacity
The 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 Passenger is published in one configuration with a tow rating of 5,000 lb (mid-size SUV / pickup territory).
The table below lists every trim of the 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 Passenger with the engine, drivetrain, axle ratio, horsepower, torque, GVWR, curb weight, and payload that go with that trim's headline tow rating. Manufacturers often publish more than one tow figure per truck — a conventional bumper-hitch rating, a weight-distributing rating, and a gooseneck or fifth-wheel rating — so the highest number here is the maximum across all hitch classes the source carries for the trim.
Per-trim breakdown
| Configuration | Engine | HP | Torque | Axle | Tow (lb) | GVWR | Curb | Payload |

| Standard Roof w/144" WB Van 3D | V6, Turbo Diesel, 3.0 Liter | 188 | 325 | — | 5,000 | — | 5,798 | — |
How to interpret the headline tow figure
Tow ratings at this level are normally achievable with a conventional Class II or Class III receiver hitch. Always verify your vehicle has the manufacturer's tow package installed if you intend to tow at the upper end of the rating, and inspect the door-jamb sticker for the actual maximum permitted on your specific configuration.
