Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 1999 Ford E-450 Ambulance
Question:
I am looking for a hitch setup to be installed on a 1999 Ford E450 Cutaway van that is currently built as an ambulance. I plan to use the trailer to pull a 2 motorcycle trailer that weighs about 2500lbs trailer+motorcycles. Please suggest a hitch for this vehicle.

Hey Parakesh, there aren't going to be any custom options but what you can do is use something like # 41990 which has a 16k capacity. This option would require it to be welded on and would also require either the 7" drop brackets # 4907 or the 16" brackets # 4916.
If there is something else I can help you with, please feel free to let me know!
