I see dozens of Class C RV's running up and down Interstate 70, here in Colorado, with a Front Receiver and bicycles in the front.

I have a 2021 Ford E350 Super Duty, and......

I can't find a single manufacturer that lists my rig on their website, to find the correct receiver.

Curt, Reese, Draw-Tite.... Nada... Nothing.

Sure, they list a front receiver for the E350 up to 2016 or so, but nothing for 2021, 2022 or 2023.

I even called eTrailer and they say they have nothing.

Does anyone have any ideas or has anyone with a 2021 or newer, mounted a front receiver with success?

Someone has to make this hitch for a 2021.

Thanks, John

Go talk to a reputable welder and have one fabricated to fit.

Not a bad idea, but I would rather have a Bolt-on... that is a powder-coated unit.

Materials and time of a welder could push the product to over $500.

No good fabricator will weld the hitch to your motorhome- they will fabricate it and bolt it on, and no reason it could not be powder coated.

But there's got to be a reason no one makes a front hitch for your rig- maybe it's not structurally suitable for it.

F-350 Cab and Chassis hitch

Out of sheer ignorance, I ask: What's the difference between E-350 and F-350 when it comes to frames?
