Trailer Hitch and Towing Kit Recommendation for a 2020 Chevy Express Shuttle Bus
Question:
I have a 2020 Chevy shuttle bus with the cutaway chassis. What trailer hitch will fit so I can tow a trailer?

Expert Reply:
The only trailer hitch available for your 2020 Chevy Express Van Shuttle Bus is the Buyers Products 2" Hitch Receiver # 3371801102. Even though this is the only option, it is still really good quality and is a semi-custom installation as you may need to do a little drilling depending on the design of your frame.
To tow a trailer you also need wiring and a ball mount. For wiring I recommend the T-One # 118392 which tees in behind your tail lights, and for a ball mount I am attaching out selection of ball mounts and a helpful article on choosing a ball mount for you to check out. If the hitch receiver will be sitting a bit under the body of the vehicle you may need to utilize a longer shank like what comes with the kit # EBMK2EL.
If you will be towing a larger trailer that has electric brakes then you'll also need a brake controller and some additional wiring. I recommend the Prodigy P3 # 90195 because it is a tried-and-true option, for which you'll need the wiring kit # ETBC7. Some models may already have some wiring pre-installed so you can check along the driver's side frame rail towards the rear tire as well as under the dash for wiring that is taped up for a brake controller for the installation.
