How to install receiver hitch on any vehicle at home Sprinter Van Hitch install/ spare tire removal!

What happens here

The host begins by removing the large, heavy cardboard box containing the tow hitch from the back of his Mercedes Sprinter van. He then brings the box into his garage and uses a utility knife to cut open the packaging. He notes the substantial weight of the hitch, which is larger and heavier than typical hitches for sedans or smaller trucks, and confirms that a hardware kit with nuts and bolts is included.

Goal: Remove the new tow hitch receiver from its packaging, carefully unwrap all components, and visually inspect for any damage or missing parts. Ensure all bolts, nuts, and shims are present.
