To find a trailer hitch that will work well on your Cutaway I recommend a weld-on trailer hitch. You will need to take a measurement to make sure you have clearance.
You will need to measure the distance between the frames to make sure it is less than 44-inches. You then need to measure from the top of the frame downward to the bottom of the bumper or step bumper if that is what you have, to make sure the receiver opening clears it.
If that distance is 5-9/16 inches or less, then part # 41990-07 will work for you. If that measurement is is less than 14-3/8 inches, the hitch that will work for you is part # 41990-16.
I have attached a link to our product page for the heavy-duty hitches we offer. If you get the measurement and want to let me know what you come up with I will be glad to make some recommendations that will work for you.
