Product: Bumper Mount Bracket for Dual FLEX ERA® Light Bars – 2019-2024 Mercedes Sprinter (SKU: 73446) 

Vehicle: 2025 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 

Summary

The KC HiLiTES Bumper Mount Bracket for Dual FLEX ERA® Light Bars (SKU: 73446) is designed for bolt-on installation on 2019–2024 US-spec Mercedes Sprinter vans, integrating with the front lower bumper to hold two FLEX ERA® 10" LED light bars. Customers considering this bracket for a 2025 Sprinter should be aware of an important radar sensor compatibility consideration before purchasing.

Important Fitment Note

The SKU 73446 bracket is officially fitment-tested and listed for 2019–2024 US-spec Mercedes Sprinter models only. The 2025 model year is not currently a listed fitment for this product. KC is aware of a potential radar sensor conflict on certain 2025 Sprinter configurations and is working to provide complete guidance.

2025 Sprinter Radar Configurations

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter features two distinct front radar sensor configurations depending on trim and options:

1. Standard Configuration – Active Brake Assist Vehicles without adaptive cruise control use a more compact radar sensor for the standard Active Brake Assist system. This configuration has not been confirmed to cause a fitment conflict with the SKU 73446 bracket.

2. Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC (Adaptive Cruise Control) Sprinters optioned with DISTRONIC feature a significantly larger, long-range radar sensor mounted behind a plastic plate in the lower center grille. This sensor is physically larger and may conflict with the bracket's sensor slot opening.

Current Status & Next Steps

KC's Product Development team is in the process of conducting physical fitment testing on the 2025 Sprinter. This article will be updated with confirmed measurements and compatibility findings once testing is complete.

Recommendation for Customers

If you own a 2025 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and are considering the Bumper Mount Bracket for Dual FLEX ERA® Light Bars (SKU: 73446), please note:

• This bracket is currently listed and tested for 2019–2024 US-spec models only
• Customers with the Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC package (adaptive cruise control) may experience a radar sensor fitment conflict
• Contact KC support before ordering if you have a 2025 model or are unsure of your vehicle's radar configuration

Also note: this bracket is not compatible with European-spec Sprinter models due to differences in the lower bumper and grille construction, regardless of model year.
