Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2005 Ford E-450 Chassis

Question:

I am looking for a class 4 or 5 hitch for my 05 E450. I know it is an oddball. The frame is 42inch out to out. 37inch inside. End of frame to clear bumper is 12. I am looking for 10,000lb rating or better.

I reached out to my contact at Draw-Tite and for the 2005 Ford E-450 there isn't a custom fit hitch available. There is also not a Class IV or Class V hitch available from any of our manufacturers for your chassis.

The largest hitch I can recommend is the Draw-Tite Multi-Fit Motorhome Trailer Hitch, 24" - 46" wide # 5350 that has a 5000 lb weight capacity but that bumps up to 6000 with weight distribution. The tongue weight rating when using weight distribution jumps from 500 lbs, to 750 lbs when using this hitch receiver.
