Trailer Hitch Options For A 2018 Thor Outlaw 37BG On A Ford F-53 Chassis

Question

Question:

I have a 2018 Thor Outlaw 37 BG that needs a replacement trailer hitch assembly. The original is bent due to the previous owner. Do you have one that would fit the 2017 Ford F53 chassis?

Hey Steve,

For a 2017 F-53 chassis we currently only have weld-on universal fit style trailer hitches available. Each of these would fit 18" to 44" wide trailer frames and would come with brackets that can give you a different drop depending on your needs. You'll want to measure down from the frame to determine where you want the receiver tube to come out to avoid hitting the fascia. We offer the following drop sizes:

Draw-Tite
7" Drop # 41990-07
16" Drop # 41990-16

Curt
3" Drop # 15901
9" Drop # C47CR
10.865" Drop # 15902
11-1/2" Drop # 15903
18" Drop # C99CR

Curt has a hitch that does fit your 2018 Ford F-150 with a factory hitch with the part #C26HR which fits below the factory hitch, but the part #C14017 does not fit versions of your truck that do have the factory hitch.

Unfortunately you can not Doug. The factory hitch on your 2020 Ford F-150 Lariat is part of the rear step-bumper assembly. It's bolted to your frame and then the step-bumper bolts to the trailer hitch. Removing the factory hitch removes the…
