Trailer Hitch Receiver To Pull 10,000LBS Behind a 2011 Chevy Express 3500 Cutaway Chassis
Question:
Hello I need a hitch for a 2011 Chevrolet express 3500 cutaway chassis with a school bus body. I need it to tow 10,000lbs so class 4 or 5 will do prefer bolt on but weld on is fine.

Due to having the cutaway chassis on your 2011 Chevrolet Express 3500 you are going to want to look at either the Draw-Tite Receiver # 41990-07 with 7" mounting brackets or the # 41990-16 with 16" tall mounting brackets. The height of the brackets will depend on the height of your frame from where you would like the receiver to sit. These can be bolted on but welding is the preferred method.
You will want to check your wiring to see if it included the round connector for a 7-Way # 30955 or if you will need a Converter # C59496 and 7-Way Kit # ETBC7 for the lights on the trailer.
