Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2003 Ford F-550 Shuttle Bus Chassis with Rear Steps
Updated 08/19/2024 | Published 08/15/2024 >
Question:
I am looking at buying a Ford f-550 2003 shuttle bus. The back has a door with expanding steps. I have to clear those steps. Do you know which 2 class 5 hitch would work ? Thanks

Hey Tommy, thanks for reaching out!
Since Shuttle Busses have different frame styles and what's on them, like your steps, adding a hitch will need to be a fabrication project.
You'll need to reach out to a local shop to see if they can help you plan out installing an HD hitch like the Curt Class 5 Universal Weld-on Hitch w/ Brackets # 15903, but I unfortunately don't have any more insight into how to do this.
