It sure won't. The cast receivers used by the Draw-Tite UltraFrame Hitches like the # 41945 are extremely tough and have been fully tested to ensure they meet the 10K GTW/1500 lb tongue weight capacities. As long as the weight capacities aren't exceeded, you'll need not worry about breaking/damaging the hitch.

I've linked to an installation video that you might find helpful.

The E-350 is not the same as the F-350 frame. The E-350 cutaway is the van chassis not the truck chassis. The custom options we have are not a confirmed fit for the cutaway chassis, so you instead will want to use an RV hitch receiver. I recommend…

Yes, a hitch from a 1999 Ford E-150 would also fit a 2001. For example, the Draw Tite part #41906 fits both years and would be a great option. You might still verify the part number of the hitch if you can find it.
