Trailer Hitch Fit For School Bus
Question:
2003 INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL BUS. WHAT TYPE OF HITCH WOULD WORK FOR THIS BUS, IT NEEDS TO BE WELDED TO FRAME POSSIBLY
asked by: SABRINA
Expert Reply:
The best option for a trailer hitch for your 2003 International School Bus is the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Cross Tube # 41990 (44" wide) with either 7" Weld-On Bracket Kit # 4907 or 16" Weld-On Bracket Kit # 4916.
To determine which bracket kit you need, measure from the top of the frame on your bus to the bottom of the bumper. If you need less than 5-9/16" to clear the bumper you will use 7" brackets # 4907; if you need less than 14-3/8" you will use the 16" brackets # 4916.
The accompanying photo shows the dimensions of the brackets and I have also added a link to the installation instructions for you to check out.
