Easily attach a variety of accessories to the front of your vehicle with this corrosion-resistant trailer hitch receiver. Perfect for winches, spare tire carriers and more.Work great, was easy to install, instruction that it came with weren't great, but video online helped. Going to use it for a bike rack and Winch. There was some scratches on the hitch when I received it, I think you need to rethink you packaging, putting metal on metal and wrapping it Saran wrap just doesn't keep it from rubbing, I will have to touch it up. Thanks for the fast shipping.
My front hitch for my 2008 Tacoma got to me within 3 days very fast service. I installed it in 30 minutes and was able to put the front skid plate back on without doing any other changes to it. Very good product. I will be using it to put my rod rack on front of truck to use it at the outer banks of North Carolina for surf fishing this coming fall. Thanks for a very good hitch.

The hitch has worked really well for me. My rod rack that I use hitch for was esay to install and remove. Very good product.
I need to thank the team @ eTrailer. The original front hitch for my Tacoma that I ordered was out of stock for a few months (Covid), and I needed the hitch for a trip in a week and a half. The eTrailer team had a different manufacturers brand at my door step in 2 days. I assembled the parts in my living room to make sure I had all the hardware, and exactly where all the bolts/washers will go. I cant wait to install it tomorrow. eTrailer had the best price I could find and delivered me the part in a very tight timeframe. eTrailer for the win!!!

Perfect. I attach a cooler and rod rack to the front of my vehicle for fishing. The rack is constantly loaded to and from the trailer hitch. After a year of abuse, its still not rusting I was pleasantly surprised. The trailer hitch on the back of the vehicle that came on the vehicle from the factory had rust by now on it. I would recommend.
Installed the Curt front hitch on a 2006 Tacoma. Install time was approximately 45 minutes by myself - very straight forward installation; instructions were very clear. I did not have to remove the skid plate. I was concerned that the hitch would be low, but it sits higher than the lowest point of the skid plate.
Primary use will be to mount a bike rack when pulling a travel trailer. Does the job perfectly!
Customer service was above and beyond. I ordered this on Wednesday afternoon and it arrived Friday afternoon! Box arrived in good shape, hitch and all hardware were in perfect condition.
Just got my front receiver hitch today got it put on took me about 45 minutes to an hour to get it installed. etrailer really got this delivered quick. Thanks etrailer!!
Super fast delivery! Double boxed for security. Completed straight-forward installation by myself in about 40 minutes using routine hand tools (3/4" & 11/16" wrenches).
Fit great!! Easy to install with some simple wrenches and sockets. Took approximately 45 min to mount. It arrived in 3 days and was packaged appropriately!!
Added this hitch a yr ago - orginal intent was to install a bike hitch rack on front ( works great as long as it is day time! Bikes distort headlights do much so not as good as I was hoping. Second note it did save my front end in September when a deer decide it want to play chicken and jumped out in front of me- ended up cracking my bumper but pretty sure (don't ask) that the hitch prevented it from destroying my entire front grill- so certainly paid for it self then. Lastily it is really convenient for moving my trailer around when parking it- its short and kept in a really tight spot so being able to just push it in instead of backing it in makes it so much easier.
Fit, works, reasonably priced.
Works great to make a tricky turn pushing my boat into the garage. Much better visibility and maneuvering than trying to back up.
it's worked fine so far. Have used it to move my trailer and when not doing that I have my winch mounted on it which is the main reason I got it. super strong and looks good.

very happy still using winch on it
The front hitch makes it easy to push my off-highway teardrop trailer through a gate at an angle and into a storage shed. The hitch came with complete instructions for my 2006 Toyota Tacoma. I was able to install with no assistance. I used a floor jack to position the hitch, and the process took me 45 minutes .
Works exactly as stated and provides a nice 2” receiver style hitch on the front end of the truck! I would have preferred a more discreet under mount but knew prior to install that it would be as pictured. I use mine with a hitch-mounted winch so that I can pull from both front and rear, depending on situation! No complaints and I would buy again!
I am not an automotive person. I was very leery about attempting this project. I called etrailer to confirm that I had selected the correct hitch receiver. Customer service was very helpful and I placed my order over the phone. I was told that there might be a delay in shipping due to back order. I received update emails and the product arrive earlier than promised. Installation instructions are clear, an online video is available. Installed hitch receiver on my 2009 Toyota Tacoma by myself. No exotic tools required. I would not hesitate to purchase from etrailer again. Oh, great price too!
i had looking for a front mount trailer hitch for my 2009 toyota tacoma came across the web page ordered the unit with no problems it showed up a few days later due to the weight of the hitch it was delivered by ups with the box completly busted open but no damage so who cares. i installed it today very nice install very straight forward i am planning to customize the skid plate along with my front light bar to fit on the hitch took about an hour to install. the unit is overbuilt for what i need it for. more than enough to hold my front mounted cooler and rod holders for surf fishing photos to follow> will buy from this company again,and again, thanks again andrew r milton mass
Great hitch, solid construction, fits perfectly, great value. This is actually the third Curt front mount hitch that I have bought and installed on my Toyota pickups over the years.
All Hardware was present. Electric Harness installation went well after I had difficulty separating stock plug for harness plug in. Removed Bumper for more room to view. I suggest a helper to position assembly up in place. I was going to use a floor hydraulic jack to get er done. A friend just came by. Had to purchase a 19mm box/open end wrench to tighten 2 bolts. Deep sockets will not get in there.
Now for the front hitch.
Cheers dlj
Great front hitch. Took about 35 minutes to install on 2012 Toyota Tacoma with just a few wrenches. The hardest part was getting the plastic hole plugs out of the holes to use to mount the hitch to the frame.
Easy to install. Even able to put by bull bar back on. Strong and sturdy. The striper are going to dread seeing me pull up.

Still like brand new
I had self inflicted doubts about this product but Ashley was professional and timely in setting me up with a technician wor was able to direct me for proper installation.
Looks well made. Received promptly from eTrailer as promised. Haven't been able to mount it yet as the hardware package from Curt was incorrect. Still waiting for a replacement bolt.
For my 2012 Double Cab Tacoma.
Arrived to my home as predicted. Easy to install, removed the skid plate but able to re-install it afterwards. Looking forward to using it.

Did you have to modify the skid plate in anyway for the skid plate reinstall?

No modification needed or required to fit on my 2012 Tacoma DCSB off road package
This was the second CURT product I purchased, and was (is) equally impressed. ALL washers, nuts, bolts, etc were included as promised. Fit was also as promised; no drilling, bending, forcing or other muscle power required. Kind of hard to believe; didn't even skin a knuckle. Thanks. Bill
Product arrived fast.Everything was there and in excellent shape. With the instructions installation was a breeze!! This will be used for a plow I purchased for next year.
I found this website when I was searching for the hitch. I took a chance and was very impressed. The hitch is very good quality, good price and super quick on the shipment.

Awe, I am sorry that it arrived in that condition. I would recommend using a rust-oleum type of paint to prevent any corrosion.
