Default Conquest- front hitch CURT 33055

Man, we downgraded to upgrade...sort of. We used to have a newer 28ft tt with a slide out, but I was getting tired of towing and setting it up especially in tight camp sites. Opportunity knocked and we now have this class C. Now even getting to a camp site is way easier- back it in, out the slide, Bam! Unfortunately, storage is lacking(for our needs) and so I planned to install a front hitch, CURT 33055. Any tips on the installation? I have been using the rear hitch for our ebikes. We will use the front to haul our other gears.

Installation was a pita. Broke a bolt molded to the bumper. I had a hard time taking that bolt out. But after that, it went well. Now I can use the rear hitch for a cargo basket and the front hitch to haul the ebikes. Since storage compartment is lacking, the cargo basket is now where I haul firewood and other dirty stuff. I just use two large plastic containers I got from Costco. I also attached this to the basket for extra lights- LED Tailgate Light Bar Strip Red Yellow Switchback, Sequential Turn Signal, Strobe (Flashing) Brake Light, Tail Light Kit. It's great!

I am curious if the 33055 will fit my rig?????

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.
