I’ve searched long and hard , I need a front receiver hitch(bolt on) for my 2006 E450 Forest River Lexington 255 GTS,
I will be pulling a toad on the rear and need a handicap ramp rack on the front,
Please if any one has done this to this make and model , if you could give me the correct part number and manufacture and any pics

Thanks in Advance

What you want is the front hitch for a 2006 E450 chassis. The Lexi part doesn't matter. Also make sure you don't have a 2005 chassis. My 2010 has a 2009 chassis so I always search for 2009 stuff.
There are a lot of rear hitches for the chassis but I have never looked for a front. It will help if you know what the bolt hole pattern looks like under there to be able to tell if something is at least in the ballpark before you get serious with a vendor.

Your research needs to focus on a Ford E450 chassis....your VIN can identify which year the Ford truly is.

I found it it’s a Reese front hitch assembly part # 65001.

Fits E450 in my year. Thanks for replies
