Question:

I have a 2005 mci d400 bus that I need to be able to tow a vehicle with, what is the best thing I should get to connect to the bus to be able to have a trailer hitch to him up to? The vehicle Im toeing is just under 5000 pounds. I also am hoping to have it ready to go in less than 3 weeks. I would also need something to write the trailer into the bus lighting system too. Thank you for your help.

Since there isn't a custom fit hitch you'll need to use an adjustable width hitch like # 41990-16 and weld it to the frame. Your next step would be the wiring, for this you'll need to splice into the tail lights of your 2005 MCI D4000 bus with the 4-Pole Hardwire Kit with Circuit Tester # 18252.

From there you can install the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7 to give yourself a 7-way for your tow bar wiring from your towed vehicle to connect into.
