Hitch for Bus on 2006 Ford E450 Cutaway Van Chassis
Question:
I have a 2006 Ford E450 Cutaway Chassis with 25 passenger body installed. I am looking for a rear tow hitch . Measurement from outside to outside of rear frame rails is approx. 42 1/2 inches. From back of body to flat surface of bumper is 7 1/4 inches. From ground to bottom of bumper is 20 inches, and bottom of frame rail to ground is 20 inches. Do you have a hitch that will work for this. We will not tow anything other than a enclosed trailer.

Expert Reply:
We have some multi-fit and weld-on hitches that might work for your application. I'll need to know the drop you need. Measure the distance from the underside of the frame to the lowest point of the rear bumper at the center. Curt offers 3 inches of drop with their # 13703 hitch, which fits frame members 22-72 inches apart. For a larger drop, the Draw-tite # 41990-16 would be a good choice.
If you reply with the drop you are needing, I'd be happy to recommend a hitch for you.
