Recommended Hitch for 2015 Ford Transit T350 Cutaway 22 Passenger School Bus

Question

Question:

Hi, Ive got a 2015 Transit 350HD cutaway cab 22 passenger school bus conversion that I need to install a trailer hitch on. Your info specifically says your hitches do not fit these vans. Do you have any class IIIs that will fit, and if instead of bolting it on it needs to be welded that wont be a problem. Thanks, Ill await your response.

For your 2015 Ford Transit T350 Cutaway 22 Passenger School Bus I recommend the # 41990-07 Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver. This is a Class V hitch with a 2" receiver and requires weld on installation and fits vehicles with frames up to 44". It has a maximum gross trailer weight of 16,000 lbs and tongue weight of 1,600 lbs.

For wiring, I recommend the # C58044 Curt Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector - 60" Wire Lead.

I have attached a video review of the wiring harness for your reference.
