Most Popular CURT for 2019 Ford Expedition

Because of health issues, I had a local truck store install this for me. 4 bolts and it was on. It was installed on a 2011 Ford Expedition. The first thing I had to do was install a 6 inch riser connector to raise it up. Then I installed a motorcycle carrier that weighed around 40 pounds. Lastly, I mount a 2004 Honda 250 Rebel onto that carrier which weighs around 330 pounds. All in all, I'm pushing the maximum weight limit of 500 pounds but it handles it wonderfully. Very satisfied with my purchase!

I purchased this hitch for a 2017 Ford Expedition. This is the second hitch I have purchased from etrailer, the first being on my previous truck, a 2006 F-150. Ordering was easy, shipping was quick and customer service was super helpful. Not counting the time it took to get things together, it took me a hour to install the hitch by myself. Lifting the hitch in place by myself was a little awkward, mut I managed and it was easier once I got the first bolt in place. The directions were good, except they were written for a F-150. There are slight differences between the 150 and the Expedition. I was able to figure these out easily enough, but it would have been nice if the instructions mentioned them. The biggest difference between the instructions and my vechicle is I did not need to trim the fascia. Fortunately I lifted the hitch up and did a dry fit and discovered this before I trimmed anything. The other thing that was not mentioned in the instructions is there were dividers on each side of transmission cooler that attached to the lower air dam. I secured these to the hitch with zip ties when I was finished with the install. My bike rack fits nicely on the hitch. At first I was worried the hitch would sit too far back but there is just enough clearance when it is installed. All in all, it looks nice, was easy to install and now I can take bikes with me camping.

The hitch seems to be excellent. I have not yet been able to install it because the bolts, etc supplied with the hitch are useless because there is no way to insert them through the frame rails due to the slot id too small to accept the bolts. I am tempted to use the factory bolts, but I am fearful of allowing the factory nut assembly to slide away from the holes making them inaccessible. I think the better application would be to supply and use stud bolts which would allow installation without risk of inaccessible nuts inside the frame rails. This is what I intend to do when I can purchase the studs

It's was extremely easy to install I did it myself in about 15 minutes . And it looks great

I think this hitch is top notch and the instalation kit made the install really easy like

Like the product. Got it very quick. Installed and love it.

The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver worked perfectly on our 2021 Ford Expedition to carry our bicycles while towing our travel trailer.

Fits 2018 Expedition perfectly. Fish wiring the bolts through the frame was a cinch.

Super easy to install product thanks to the video! Took all of 25 mins to install

Great product,easy installation and dealing with etrailer has been a real good experience.

I ordered these two, front and rear for a 1990 GEO Tracker 4 wheel drive that I am rebuilding. I believed they would fit, I finally got around to mounting them and they don't fit, to large. I think I have had them to long to return them.

Hi George, I received your email and didn't realize it had been a year already. I'm afraid I don't have anything to say that you want to hear but I will tell you anyway. I spent about a week researching this hitch and read numerous reviews about it and how easy it is to install with installation times of 30 minutes to an hour, so finally I bought one. I read the instructions when I got it, looked simple enough. I've been building cars and motorcycles most of my life, a few hot rods and drag raced Harley's for 8 years, and I had to fabricate a lot of parts on the drag bike splus I've been a CNC Machinist for 30 years, and having just retired this project was on my list of things to do NOW! Well its been a year and the hitch is now sitting in the corner of my dining room. Either I have a Jeep Cherokee that is an odd ball or its just my crappy luck. In the directions it says to use the fishwire for putting in cm-sp1 and the bolt. I can supply pictures if you want but there is no access hole anywhere near big enough to get the sp1 spacer in the frame and the end of the frame isn't open either as the directions suggest. Apparently its either butcher the frame with a hole big enough to these spacers in, which I really don't want to do, or try to sell the hitch for whatever I can get and say the hell with it, except I really need that front hitch. I realize most people are very happy with your product, but I'm sorry to say I'm not at all. You asked!

Installation was a breeze. It also is tucked out of the way.

This hitch was very easy to install....I had to trim the lower air dam to fit around the receiver and that gives it a clean neat look. I didn't like that I had to remove and leave the shields around the tow hooks off. But overall I'm very pleased. I plan to use this hitch for maneuvering a camper in a narrow spot beside my home, and for a bike rack when towing a camper.

I use Curt Front Hitches from ETrailer with pintle hitch plates to make my own front protective bars and also rear protective bars in a rear truck, SUV. Or van hitch to protect my vehicles from bad drivers. Much stronger than bull bar or offroad front bumper bar protection

We live just south of Buffalo and Put this on our '11 Honda Ridgeline with a snowsport plow and a week later it snowed, and snowed and snowed... 5 feet in 24 hours and it's still snowing.... It's not good.... It's AWESOME! Not one driveway or even our street is clear... Except ours. It was easy to put together , easy to install and works exactly like it's advertised! It's November and it paid for itself already. Communication with etrailer was exceptional. We could not be happier with the whole setup.

A good install! A bit of trimming for my application , but the bolt holes lined up perfectly. This front hitch was not specifically for a Lexus GX 460 but I decided to try it. There is a small area of lower bumper plastic that had to be trimmed. The hitch was pushing up against it before it was high enough to be in place. Upon trimming that area, it went in perfectly. If trimming the lower plastic is not for you, probably best to pass. However for my use, it works well. It is a stout piece, very strong. I added a pic with a red line to show where the trim needs to be.

Installed on my 2012 Lexus GX460. Perfect fit once I cut the center section of the lower plastic area for it to fit. Also had to trim the bottom splash guard and bend in the L brackets that hold it on. Took me about 2 hours. Very happy with the outcome. Now can mount snow blade for the driveway clearing…or any other hitch items.

Worked out great.. A little trimming on the facial of the bumper.. The fish line awesome little tool... Thanks

I have a 2005 Ford Explorer and this hitch fit well. There are three holes on each side of the hitch. The front two matched perfectly to holes existing on the frame of the Explorer. I had to drill into the frame for the third hitch hole but it was not too difficult. The hitch comes with a fishing tool to get the bolts where they need to go in the frame but it works pretty slick. Much easier than some fishing I've had to do with electrical work. I am not a mechanic but do handyman jobs around the house and was able to install this hitch by myself in 1.5 hrs. After placing the two front bolts, I propped the hitch up on boarts to where the bolts came through the hitch holes then screwd on the nuts to bring the hitch up & into place. For the third bolt, I drilled with hitch in place then put the bolts in the third hole.

The fit was a bit too tight but we were able to make it fit. The shipping packing was pretty lacking. Since being installed we have been using it with a spare tire mount. That works great and it makes the spare tire more accessible compared to the standard under the bed mounting. When fully loaded with a camper and towing a boat moving the spare tire to the front improves the weight distribution.

Curt actually recommended that we use etrailer. They even gave me the confirmation that the hitch would work and told us you have a video. Thanks!

Installed on the front of a 2008 GMC 4x4 Sierra. Primarily utilized for a hitch mount snow plow (DK2). Installed without any modifications - works good with the plow. * The hitch sits low to the ground (stock suspension). I installed a 2" leveling kit from RC and that helped with clearance. I am satisfied with the quality of the product - will purchase again from Curt for my Durango

Front hitch fit perfectly on a 1995 K1500. I was able to install without modifying the front tow hooks nor the fascia. This is the hitch you want.

After struggling with the answering menu, Steve Z. was instrumental in locating a hitch to fit my van which was not specifically identified in any data search. Weird year, 2005, of popular Chevy Express van, my luck! Using manufacturers dimensions I purchased #31016 on 12/21 and it arrived on 12/24. It's a very well built, USA built, unit. It arrived rapidly, but was missing half of the mounting hardware. The remainder of the hardware was rolling around in the box. Zip lock baggie ripped apart spilling them. I used a hydraulic jack to elevate hitch into place, and an additional jack to push the drill up to drill the 6 mounting holes necessary. No factory hole alignment. All the nuts for the bolts were lost in transit, but by a Christmas day miracle, I found 2 metric nuts to fit supplied bolts that survived the delivery. I will acquire, and install remaining missing 4 tomorrow. The installation went smooth and easy using this technique. It took around 3 hours with much of the time searching for hardware.' Thanks Steve Z. and etrailer. .

The product works great. However, I was told that this front hitch receiver would bolt to existing holes on my 98 Four winds RV. That was not true, so installation was double the cost of what was estimated by the shop I took it to.

Magnificent product! Installation was simple and easy! As far as the durability goes, we mounted two-75 pound E-Bikes on the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver-Custom Fit-2" and travelled a total of four thousand miles! I recommend this product! This is the second product I have purchased from etrailer and always a great experience!

Product is great! Exceeds my expectations for ease of installation and performance. I removed the 3” spoiler completely vs cutting for hitch. The key is to “dry fit” in place and use a metal punch to mark all your drill holes. Wire bolt feeder worked great for installing bolts. I used the hitch to mount my eight pole rod & cooler holder for surf fishing.

This worked well for what I needed it to do on my 1955 Willys Wagon 4x4. I installed on the frame with body off. I extended the frame approx 9” and welded the hitch to the front of the frame. The goal was to use it as a base to drop down a winch plate with the idea of the winch cable being accessible from the bottom of the stock bumper. The hitch fit the width of the Willys frame perfectly with just a little trimming so as to be away from the front suspension hanger over by slightly over an inch. I then bought a badlands universal winch plate from Harbor freight and trimmed and welled to the frame extension and hitch. Super sturdy, with the added bonus of dropping a future winch lower so as to improve air flow and cooling to the engine. Still have to drill holes and mount front stock bumper and check clearances but appears this will work as I get the vehicle back to together well see how it turns out.

We installed a front mount trailer hitch receiever on "grandpa's" truck for his Snowsport Utility Plow and it works GREAT! It's been a year and we expect it to last far past the life of the vehicle!
