Hell, you won't even feel the bus behind your F-150. My wife's Infiniti would make short work of a bus.

If your are only towing the bus a couple miles i would say go for it. But going 30-40 miles even with a solid tow bar i would'nt want to tow it, your just asking fr trouble with the cops or DOT. If it was me i would rent one of those 2 stroke Stihl cut off saws with a fiber blade and cut the bus in half and put a piece of it an your car trailer, so your not over loaded. Also cutting a bus in half would be pretty fun
