Most Popular CURT 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.

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 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!

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.

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 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!!!

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 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!

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!!!

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.

Excellent instruction video! I would hope on future videos the dark black parts might be contrasted, they are taken from below and I am sure my lighting was lacking under an un-jacked jeep! The plastic rivets on vehicle are two part and in a restricted trough which were a pain to replace other than that issue everything was great!

Fits perfect and works just as I needed it to. I use it for my SnowSport plow set-up on a 2022 Gladiator Sport Max Tow. I’ve been using front receivers for this same plow for the last 24 years. It’s been used on 5 different trucks and this front receiver mount plow is the BEST. *** When installing on a Gladiator(possibly the Wrangler as well), the front plastic trim below the bumper needs to be cut for receiver clearance. I wanted a tight and “factory looking” install, so I took my time with a vibrating cutter and very sharp utility knife. After trying to put it back in place, the hole is not just square, it’s shaped more like. “T”. I suggest you make small adjustments/cuts as you go forward. It may take several times fitting and cutting to get it right and tight, but in the end it does look like it came that way from JEEP. On the Max Tow package, there is also a metal skid plate that does not get reinstalled. Unfortunately that piece is where the back of the plastic fascia mounts. I ended up securing it with some long heavy-duty zip-ties and it’s worked well for a year now. Just an FYI for those installing the same receiver on their same vehicle.

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

Mounting went well,video direction were accurate.

Overall, my experience with etrailer was good. There was an initial delay in shipping, but once I talked to someone, everything went well. The help page was invaluable. The biggest help was the installation video. While there are slight differences between the 2011 GMC and the 2013, the process was the same. I am very pleased with the product and the support. Picture attached.

As others mentioned, box was pretty beat up. But hitch was fine. I removed the air dam to give me more space. Hitch installed with the help from a floor jack to hold it in place. I cut the hole in the air dam and reinstalled it on the truck. Took about 3 hours, I added a Kuat drop receiver extension to lower and extended it to hold two Himiway e bikes

I installed a large tool box for extra storage during an extended trip to Utah. The hitch was no problem and I minimized lateral movement by strapping the box frame to my tow hooks and it worked great. I will be installing a front motorcycle carrier in the future

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.

We chose the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver so we could safely transport our RAD electric bikes while also pulling our travel trailer. We had it professionally installed onto the front of our Toyota Tundra and it has worked out very well! We are very pleased, and glad that we have it!

Shipping was fast and packaged good with no scratches. I modified my 2010 Tundra skid pan for oil filter changes before mounting. Replaced all 4 OEM tow ring bolts using anti-seize with new longer M12-1.25 X 40MM class 10.9 zinc finished hex cap screws along with new M12 X 24MM OD HARD WASHERS and torqued all 4 to 79 ft/lbs. Mounted new Thule EasyFold XT 2 Hitch Bike Rack and it fits in front without using the hitch extension. All went together as planned and can now take E-Bikes with us while pulling our camper. We are happy campers!
