Which class 4 hitch would fit this bus? 1997 Ford E-350 Passenger Bus

Good news, I can help you find a hitch that will fit your 1997 Ford E-350 Bus.
The fact that this is a bus means that the cab is a Ford E-350 but the chassis is not the same as the standard van chassis. This means that you will need a bolt-on or weld-on hitch depending on your chassis' application, like Draw-Tite Class IV # 41991-16 or the same Draw-Tite hitch with shorter brackets # 41991-07.
If you wanted to complete your towing setup you may also be interested in the Curt Hitch Pin and Clip part # PC3, Ball Mount part # BWBMHD30010, 2 inch ball part # 63845, and 2-5/16 inch ball part # 19286. If you don't already have one, you will need a wiring harness.
