Expert Reply:
For your 2017 Thor ACE on an F53 chassis I recommend the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver - Weld On - Class V - 2" # 41990-07. We don't have a class 4 hitch compatible currently but this one is class 5 and will fit frame widths up to 44". It has a 16,000lbs GTW and 1,600lbs TW. Note: this does not mean you can tow up to 16,000lbs just because the hitch can handle it. You'll need to review your owner's manual to verify the towing capacity of your vehicle. This receiver hitch is a weld on design and is not rated for use with weight distribution systems.
