Trailer Hitch for Ambulance on 2000 Ford E450 Cutaway Van Chassis
Question:
Hello, I was looking for a hitch for my 2000 E-450 cutaway that is now an ambulance. It has the 55 gallon tank. I want to make sure I find something that will fit. Let me know if you need any photos. Thanks!

We don't offer a custom hitch for the 2000 E450 Cutaway, because the configuration of the back bumper in regards to the frame members is different than the cargo van.
You'll need a weld-on universal hitch, like part # 15901. The hitch has a 3 inch drop, which means that in order for it to fit on your ambulance, the vertical distance between the the underside of the frame member and the bottom of the bumper needs to be less than 3 inches, or the bumper will be in the way of the receiver tube. The Draw-Tite # 41990-07 would work if that measurement is less than 7 inches.
