I would be interested in knowing how they installed a trailer hitch on a mid-engine Crown.
The frame rails end just behind the rear suspension leaving the whole truck area just sheet metal hung on the back of the bus. It was built that way for a rear end crash crush zone that would not translate the crash engery into the passenger compartment.
Since there is no frame at the back, what are they using to support the trailer hitch. If they haven't done something the whole weight of the trailer and especially the tongue weight is hanging on the rear sheet metal and no frame support.
