While we do not have a custom fit hitch for your Freightliner MT45 we do have several heavy duty weld-on hitches that could work for you. I have included a link to all of them for you.

Based on your frame width you could use # 41990 which is 44 inches long. Then for brackets you could use 7 inch brackets # 4907 or 16 inch brackets # 4916.

If the frame is an I-beam frame then the only option is # 13703.

Weld-on hitches should only be installed by qualified professional welders. I have linked some instructions for you to view as well.

@JackG Hey Jack, what is the frame width on your Freightliner? We do have the Draw-Tite # 41990 with the brackets # 4907 that you could use. This will fit frames that are up to 44" wide, so if your frame is no wider than 44" then you could use this. If not let me know, and I'd be happy to see if we have something for you.
