Universal Hitch for a 2009 Chevrolet Savanna/Express Van School Bus

Question:

I have a 2009 Chevrolet savanna or express cut away that is a short school bus. What is the right hitch? The bolt holes don’t seem to be the same as the 2003 that this question was asked about before.

I would be happy to help you. The reason the bolts don't look like they line up is that your 2009 Chevrolet Savanna/Express van is considered a cut away. I have a solution for you but you are not going to be able to find a custom fit hitch for your school bus. You're going to need to go with a universal one for service vehicles. I recommend the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver - Weld On - Class V - 2" item # 41990-07. This universal hitch has a bolt on installation option that will require you to drill into your frame.
