Trailer Hitch Receiver Recommendation for Towing with a 2019 Ford E-Series Commercial Van
Question:
I have a 2019 Ford E350 commercial van and I cant find a trailer hitch for that year. Is there not one made for this year model? If so. Could you let me know which one? I need one so I could haul a 2,000-5,000 lb trailer. Thanks

Since you have a 2019 Ford E-Series Cutaway you're going to need a universal-type trailer hitch like the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver # 41990-07.
This is a weld-on Class V hitch with a 2" receiver that's designed to fit a variety of applications like what you have. The hitch isn't listed to fit specific makes and models of vehicles so you'll need to check out the linked instructions to ensure fitment.
Then to add wiring to your towing setup I recommend the Hopkins Wiring Kit # HM40975-11998 which connects to OEM wiring that you should be able to find towards the back of your driver's side frame rail. This gives you your trailer functions and also allows you to add a brake controller like the P3 # 90195 and Adapter Plug # 3034-P to activate the brakes on heavier trailers.
Attached is an installation video of the P3 on a 2020 Ford E-Series Cutaway for you to check out.
