Hitch Recommendation for a Ford E-450 Bus
Question:
My dad is buying a SUV and is looking to find the right hitch for it. He is buying it on ebay, and sent this information to me when he was looking at it. Can you let me know if you have something workable with this vehicle? He wants to pull his car on a 2 wheel dolly behind it.

I have a solution for you that I can provide, but we aren't going to have a custom fit hitch to fit a vehicle like what you referenced.
I spoke to my contacts at Curt and Reese and the only styles of hitches that can be made to fit a service body truck like yours are multi-fit hitches like the # 41990 that has a 16k capacity. This is a weld on hitch that would require either the 7 inch drop brackets part # 4907 or the 16 inch brackets part # 4916.
