Thanks everyone for your responses. I contacted Torklift and they don't offer anything for the big Ford van.
Curt and Drawtight both offer class IV hitch receivers and one, the Draw-tight, appears to weigh significantly more then the Curt. The Draw-tight also uses a gusset top and bottom of the receiver tube, so I'd expect it to have more rigidity from the get-go. Can't tell if the sides of the tube are any thicker, so for belt and suspenders, an additional plate might have to be added as suggested.
I'm thinking a new receiver would be a good thing.
Cheers
