Expert Reply:
The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 75703, will fit the 2011 Ford E-250 as long as it is not a Superwagon. The rounded bumper should not pose a problem. A step bumper would necessitate a ball mount longer than the recommended # AMSC2 which is 8-1/2 inches long. Part # BM20 would be a good fit.
If you so have a Superwagon model, you would need Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, # 75703. Again a longer ball mount would be needed with a step bumper.
It is possible that you will have to drill a few holes and use existing holes in the vehicle frame. I have included links to the installation instructions for both hitches so you can see the installation steps. I have also include links to videos showing typical installations.
If you plan on doing some towing, I recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit, # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, and hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag. For trailer wiring, use # C56020, if the van does not already have a tow package.
