Most Popular 500 lbs Vert Load for 2021 Ford F-150

This hitch is high quality and fit perfectly. Install was relatively easy. I needed this hitch because I tow a travel trailer and need to carry my bike rack and bikes as well. I can move the bike rack to my rear factory hitch when I'm not towing, very simple. The pictures show my truck / RV with my bike rack installed in the front hitch.

I use the hitch for our E-bikes bike rack. It is so nice to use especially since I tow a camper and didn’t have a way to haul the bikes. Very sturdy and it was easy to install.

UPS was rough on the box but everything still lined up without having to pry but was snug on the back bolts. Install was very straight forward and did it myself in my driveway in just about 90 minutes from pulling the air dam to putting tools away. Used my floor jack to support the hitch in the center and started with the front bolts on both sides and then pivoted the hitch into position for the back bolts and then snugged up all four mounting bolts to the 110-ftlbs torque spec. Hints. made sure that front of the hitch was just a a hair pointed up from level before tightening down all of the mounting bolts. I pulled the air dam completely off and then lined it back up in position lying on the hitch so I could marked it, so I knew exactly where I would need to trim it and then used my Dremel tool with a cutoff wheel to trim it to fit. Then bolted it back into position and was done. I'll try and update this post once I take some pictures other than the shipping box

Please read: I am not happy with this product. I have a 2023 F-150 with a 2” leveling kit up front. My properly installed hitch only has 8-3/4” of ground clearance sitting on my flat garage floor. It definitely appears to be the lowest point throughout the whole bottom of my truck.I didn’t even have to cut my air dam for the unit to align with the mounting holes in the frame. Like anyone else I wanted this to sit as high as possible, forcing me to cut as much air dam as possible. I believe the mounting holes in this hitch were drilled way too high, and now I’m either stuck with terrible clearance or I need to take it off and re-drill the holes lower on my own. Plus it points downward out the front and not on the same parallel plane as my truck. I put an accessory in it and it was barely above the ground out front. Super irritating. See photos. If anyone has help I’m certainly listening. The shipping and ordering was super fast and easy otherwise this would be 1 star.

This thing is well built, it fit perfect, This will come in handy for my needs. Instructions are very clear. If I was to rate the install on a 1 to 10 scale it would be a 5. Fishing the bolts thru the frame with the wire provided was much easier than I expected. I do recommend this hitch.

the install went very good but i do have one suggestion and see if your maker can put a notch in the middle hole to look like the tow hook it would make the install way more user friendly also had a little problem with one of your bolts after i had fished it down the hole the treads were burred and the nut wouldn't go on all the way so i had to fish it back out what a pain that was but got it done and replaced with one of the other bolts that you supplied me with and it went on great. now i have a ? about the hitch height mine only sits up at about 11 inches and change will that work with your snowplows that say they need 13 inches or will i have to do something different? but thanks for the great turn around time in getting it here quick.

2003 F-150 4X4 Lariat. I accomplished installation alone in about 1 hour as a complete newbie. Here are my tips: 1. Read instructions and other comments ahead of time. 2. Spray the tow hook bolts a day or two ahead of time with a penetrating oil spray. 3. There is nothing to hold the factory nut plate (inside the frame rail) when the tow hook bolts are removed. After I removed the first tow hook bolt and loosened the other one for some "working room), I threaded a thin piece of flexible wire through the bolt hole and nut plate, out another nearby hole on the side of the frame rail and twisted it together to keep the factory nut plate in position. Then, I removed the second tow hook bolt and the tow hook. Leave the flexible wire in place for now. Do the same on both sides of the vehicle. 4. You have to temporarily remove the tow hooks completely but I did not have to remove any other trim / fascia. 5. The fish wire is essential. I passed the empty threaded portion of the fish wire through the bolt hole for the new bolt from below and advanced it toward the front of the vehicle. There is enough room once it comes out of the front of the frame rail to thread on the new bolt ... with the new nut plate included ... then pull it into the inside of the frame rail behind the bumper fascia ... then wiggle / "jimmy" it back until it drops into position. 6. Once the new bolt / nut plate was in position, I used a few drops of super glue to tack the nut plate into position through another nearby square hole where the new nut plate was visible. Do the same on both sides of the vehicle. 7. I used a hydraulic floor jack to position the receiver under the vehicle. A little metal lip at the center of the receiver fit right into the notches on the cup of the jack. 8. I carefully raised the receiver into position with the jack. I started a little bit toward the back of the vehicle. This let the front lip of the receiver slide forward into the fascia opening for the tow hook. Once the front of the receiver was through that, I lined it up, raised it and the new bolts (with the super-glued nut plates inside the frame rail) came through the receiver mounting holes perfectly. I put the two new nuts on the two new bolts "finger tight". 9. I raised the receiver a little further but leaving a few mm of space between the front of the receiver and the frame rail ... where the flexible wire mentioned above was coming out. The holes should line up at this point. Leave the flexible wire in place for now. 10. Use one hand to hold the tow hook in position. Thread one of the original tow hook bolts through the the tow hook, the receiver, the hole in the frame WITHOUT the flexible wire and into the nut plate inside the frame rail "finger tight". This will "grab" the factory nut plate inside the frame rail. Now, you can untwist / pull out the flexible wire through the other tow bolt hole and thread that bolt as well. Repeat the process for the other side of the vehicle. 11. Now, all 6 bolts / nuts are threaded in position "finger tight". Tighten / torque them sequentially ... and you're done!

Installed this hitch on my 2000 Ford F150 4x4. It fit perfectly. No facia needed to be removed and no frame drilling was necessary. I simply removed the tow hooks and skid plate and bolted up the hitch and reinstalled the tow hooks. I notched the edges of the skid plate to clear the hitch frame (small angle grinder worked fine for this) and reinstalled the skid plate. Installation was simple and straight forward. The attached pictures may be a little dark but I attempted to show the hitch tucked up against the factory facia.

No hassle installation, what you are waiting for get one for the old ford

Won’t be installing until next week.ordered Monday received Wednesday!unbelievable service and shipping!!!I will let you know about installing and fit. Thanks

Gave it 5stars cause it was so easy to install…only potential issue is its height…but…. In fairness to drill and cut brackets to raise it would require cutting “upper valance” something I’m not prepared to do….yet

I bought the front trailer hitch for a bike rack while pulling my camper and that works great. I decided to try it pushing the trailer into my garage and really like that. Takes some learning since only very small adjustments in steering wheel make quick change in the trailer directions. Installation was simple, but requires more strength than I have to lift hitch into position (tight fit) and bolt it in place. I found a local curt dealer who installed it for about a hundred bucks. Money well spent.

I bought this receiver to add front mounted 'accessories' on my 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara. I plan on using this to add an extra bicycle rack, a cargo basket, a receiver mounted winch or other 'accessories' needed for my Jeep when I take my family camping. It will also be useful for "front launching" a boat or parking a trailer in tight spots. It took me about an hour to install, although I had already previously removed the lower wind deflector cowling, so did not have to spend time removing it or cutting it for a finished look. Detaching and moving the top trim panel between the grill and the bumper is a must to facilitate the installation. The receiver fits pretty close, although you do have to manipulate it to get the holes to line up with the frame. Follow the instructions and do not tighten any of the bolts until you get it lined up and all the bolts in loosely, then torque it down. As noted in the instruction sheet, the driver's side of the receiver does not sit flush against the frame, there is about a 1/4" to 5/8" gap. The instructions say to use the extra split washers (in the kit) as filler, but they would just rattle around loose in there and provide any benefit, so I omitted them. Once tightened down, the receiver tube was not parallel to the ground, it is slightly higher in the front, sloping towards the rear. It is not off enough to affect my intended use, but may be bothersome to those with type 'A' attention to detail. Overall a good product that will add a lot of flexibility to my Jeep~

2nd hitch, both fit up great. Left off the roll pan and built our own cover for the sway bar disconnect.

Great products, great prices, fast shipping and a great company to do business with. Easy install, and it took longer to trim the air dam than installing the hitch.

Great solid piece, as you would expect. Extra longer bolts are included in case you have the factory tow hooks, a nice touch and saves $10 at the hardware store. Not a complaint, just info; you have to remove the bumper to fit the front bolts, they won't drop in past the bumper brackets at least on my '95. Cut a hole and some minor trimming, and it works with the factory air dam as well.

Works great for hauling our bikes. Hitch was easy to install and easier on a lift. Quality product and service from etrailer. I did have to get an extension to get bike rack past the bumper (Ford truck).

I went with this hitch since I have an after market front bumper. I wasn’t sure if it was going to fit but since this hitch was a bolted connection it gave me 2 options to have a chance it would fit. One I received the package the box was damaged but all the hardware had been taken to the hitch, so everything was there. I installed the hitch by myself and took me about 2 hours but that was due to the aftermarket bumper and dealing with that hardware at the same time otherwise the install went smooth. Tha last phot is to show this hitch worked with this bumper.

I purchased this front receiver hitch for my 2010 Ford E350 RV to use for a utility basket, launch a 16' boat and now also for a motorcycle carrier. The quality is excellent and full weight rating, one year later and the finish is perfect. Installation was exactly as stated in the directions and the modifications were minor, requiring existing holes in the frame forward of any critical mounts drilled larger and the plastic under the front bumper where a tag goes has to be cut slightly to allow for receiver. The directions called for removal of under carriage splash guard but I was able to trim and reinstall. I am perfectly happy with the purchase. When hauling a motorcycle on the front the RV rides so much smoother and better planted on the road without being overloaded.

Mounted it in a couple hours, relatively easy installation. Having to drill the mounting hole bigger took me by surprise but that's on me for not watching the installation video before buying. This is the only front hitch option for 2017 E450 RV chassis. It mounts rock solid. Standing and bouncing on it, there is no play in the hitch or the mounting point. Standing and bouncing on the hitch- the entire front suspension gives but the mount does not budge. I no longer hesitate about mounting a small motorcycle on the front of the RV- this hitch is made of metal as thick as the RV frame itself.

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!

This receiver hitch fit my 2015 Ram 2500 fine, and looks good. However, Draw-tite quality control must be a bit lax, as now that I tried to use it, I find the hitchpin holes are not the same size and even a standard pin cannot go through both holes (so as is, I cannot use the now-mounted hitch). I am going to have to bore out the hole(s) to the correct size for a locking pin, to mount the hitch-mount winch I intended to use in my dump trailer and my truck. In addition to being the wrong (or mismatched) holes, the location of the holes is right next to a beefy weld that will make securing (whether by locking or non-locking hitchpin) difficult. I cannot justify removing the receiver after all the work it took to install, but definitely cannot give this a good review. I recommend test-fitting your pin(s), tow balls, winches on it before you waste time installing. However, as always, etrailer.com rocks!

I have always wanted a front bumper receiver but always resisted because I thought it would require welding, this unit is bolt on and went on my Ram 2500 with no problem at all, it looks like it was factory installed.

I purchased Curt’s custom front mount 2” hitch. Installation was easy, mounting points were accessible without necessity of a lift or floor Jack. In the year I’ve used it it has been very handy in pushing a dump trailer, car hauler, landscape trailer, diesel wood chipper uphill and around curved access and parking said trailers between other pieces of equipment and parked vehicles w/o the unfortunate scrapes and dents sometimes incurred while moving the same trailers into the same locations while attempting to back them into position. A very handy trailer hitch for parking a trailer in a crowded equipment yard.

I waited 12 days for a shipment from amazon and the hitch was lost. They want to send me another hitch with a due date of January 6, 2024! You guys are the best! 2 day’s service was outstanding!!!

It is a great hitch I have a front rack that’s on it now to haul my generator and fire wood also I’ll be using it for my bike rack to haul my e-bike with , did lose my mind on the bolts I did get some help to get them in,tho my patience ran out, but all in all it’s a great hitch.

Added to use with a front winch. The install was not too difficult and the included instructions were spot-on. On my F250, the front tow hooks add to the strength of holding the hitch to the frame. On the F250 you do lose the OEM fog light location, but I used the wiring to add/relocate after-market fog lights. The set up has already proven helpful, pulling me out of a snow back while plowing. Just what I needed for some summer off road camping as well.

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.

Easy installation

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!

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.

Easy installation, solid hitch.

Took about 20mins to install. I think it will serve great purposes with a new winch hitch attachment and when I'm not using it I will install a step for easy engine access

The hitch was finding its way out of the box by the time it was delivered, but did not seem to be damaged. All the hardware was still attached. Bolts on to the truck (2022 Nissan Frontier) easily after removing the factory tow hooks. The hardest part was finding the hidden screws to remove the front lower valance panel. Trimming a little at a time made for a perfect fit to reinstall the valance.

Easy to install. The only drawback I see is on my 2022 Pro4x model I had to remove the red tow hooks and silver front skid plate because the hitch takes their place.

The front hitch solved a storage problem that I was having with my truck camper.It fit perfectly. I added a Stow Away hitch frame and a UWS small aluminum storage box for my small generator. The photo shows a test fit before installation.

This was one of the easiest accessories I’ve installed on my Tundra. It is a front receiver hitch so I don’t use it very often. Mostly just for bike racks when towing a trailer, but when you need it you need it.
