The Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65053 is confirmed to fit the 2015-2021 E-Series Cutaway E-450. As of July 2023, we have not had a chance to test this to confirm if it will fit the 2022 (your 2023 Conquest would be built on the 2022 model). Draw-Tite also does not list this as a fit, but they're further behind than we are since they only show it up through 2017. However, given the amount of other parts that carried over to the 2022, it is very likely it will work.

What you could do is check under the front of your Conquest and see if the mounting holes line up correctly. They are 38" apart from left to right on center, and 5" apart front to back on center. I would also take a look at the installation instructions and video attached below to see if it looks like anything will interfere. Ultimately, I can't guarantee it will fit but you're more than welcome to try.

If not, the only option would be a universal weld-on hitch like the # 41990-07 or to have a hitch fabricated. If you choose to have a hitch fabricated you could use the # E17 for a receiver tube and let the fabricator design the rest.
