    There are some good threads on the subject over on the Brown Board as well.

    Chris might be right on the first plug issue - it might be that '02 might be the cutoff. I just remember '03-'04 being the sweet spot for the issue when I was searching for mine in '05. This is for the problem that results in the plugs taking the threads out of the heads and needing the helicoil kit to reinstall. The reach issue is a separate problem entirely. http://www.ford-trucks.com/ was a good resource for such things.

    You will have to reinforce the frame extension. Mine (E450, but not a Four Winns) is going into the shop for that next month. Previous owner towed motorcycles and broke both the factory 3500# hitch and the frame extension.

    Thanks guys - I reinforced the frame on my last class A so based on your feedback I will visit the shop and get a fully reinforced frame and class of receiver - I will ask for a 7500 rating setup.

    Ive also got a nice weight leveling hitch. Always used it - was some debate on using a equalizing hitch on class A but I was always glad to have it.

    Hope for no plug spittage.....

    Thanks!

    7500# is marginal...go with the 10k.
