8,000# hitch on new E-450 Chassis
It has recently come to my attention that all new Thor Motorhomes on the E-450 chassis built after 10/01/2014 come equipped standard with an 8,000 pound receiver hitch instead of the 5,000 pound hitch...

Also, it looks like on all the E-350 hitches, the front most bolt holes are canted downward slightly, I assume to fit an angle on the factory frames. My extensions are completely flat so it looks like that front hole won't lie flat on the frame extension.
Frames are the same width. Major difference is the step in the van frame to accommodate the bumper brackets.
It looks like this DrawTite receiver is the best fit (also, its what I've installed previously. Just leave out some of the plate washers). It has a flat mounting flange, so its easy to fit to a cutaway frame
