Best 2021 GMC Yukon Front Receiver Hitches

I purchased the front mount hitch for my Yukon a few years ago and it works great, easy to install. I use it for hauling extension ladders and canoes. So I purchased this one for another Yukon I recently bought. Excellent service, quick shipping, no hassles.

I received the front trailer hitch very quickly and within three days had it installed. It took me, a novice, about 90 minutes. I had the 3/4 inch rackets and sockets. I also needed to use my Dremel to cut out a notch in the bottom plastic bumper. Not an issue and not much to cut away. Just the receiver needed to stick through. I was able to use the front tow hook bolts (plenty of bite) and I did not need to use the fish wire. With a little patience I was able to get the rear bolts and spacers to work in the rear hole. My bike rack with drop down hitch was a perfect fit and just cleared the license plate. Nice. The top of the mounted bikes stick above the hood a bit but that was expected and does not block the driver view much. Now, I don't have to have a super high front trailer mount as the rear of my trailer will not work for a bike rack. I am very happy with the product and service.

I have had the front receiver hitch installed on my 1996 Suburban for about a year now. I have a 12000 lb winch installed using that receiver hitch. I have gotten stuck twice and had to use the winch to extract the truck. Very glad that I have the front receiver hitch as it made putting on the winch very easy. Also useful for mounting a receiver mount bicycle rack to the front as well.

Product was shipped promptly and arrived a few days later. Packing was good for a heavy item with pointy edges, no issues breaking out of the box. Installation on a lift took about 30 minutes on my 1999 K2500 Suburban. The bolts were long enough to allow for my tow hooks that were already in place. A bolt stringer to pull the rear bolts from the top (inside the frame) is provided along with nuts, the other four just replaced the stock bolts that I had that mount from the bottom into tapped frame metal through the tow hooks. Curt makes great quality stuff. Clearance was reduced a little but I'm not concerned about it.

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.

Super fast shipping,but could use better packing.Hitch actually made a large hole in box,UPS driver had me check to see if anything was missing.Easy install,but try finding a 17/32" bit. After seeing how big the front opening is I just used a 1/2" bit. I think it took longer to remove, trim and reinstall the front spoiler than the rest of the job. Looks great installed

Received and installed a front hitch on our 2015 GMC Yukon. As suggested by the manufacturer, I did have to cut away some of the front lower trim in the center, which does take a little effort but none the less, I was able to do on my own. You also, as told in the instructions, have to drill the holes in your frame. If you don’t know your way around tools, it may be best you have it professionally installed. That being said, the product itself was a perfect fit. I found no issues with the installation and it works beautifully. I could not have asked for a better front hitch. Tight, easy to access and affordable.

Fitment is great on 2019 Yukon Denali. Super useful having a front hitch, wouldn't go without one again, they should come this way from OEM. I have not been disappointed in any of the Curt gear I have, and e-trailer is always great to work with.

Just what I was looking for. Thank you.

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.

Delivery was super fast, instructions and instructional video was excellent. Installed my new part in less than 40 minutes

Install went perfectly. It all bolted up just how the instructions said it would. The hardest part was navigating your tools in the tight spaces. Having the deep sockets as suggested is definitely worth it. I was also able to utilize a cordless impact wrench and it helped a ton. This will work great for our bike rack.

After a year of having this on my truck I can say that I wish I did it sooner! The installation is easy as can be. The hitch is super handy as both a tow point and also as a kind of skid plate/bumper. I have contacted multiple ecology blocks and other objects in my truck, the hitch is the first thing to touch so nothing on the truck gets damaged! This is a super strong, affordable, and versatile addition to any vehicle!

VERY Easy install - not quite centered but that's no biggie - Used it already to fine tune the travel trailer into it's tight parking space. Also will be used for carhauler/utility trailer parking and canoe hauling and bike hauling and winch mount - Multi use deal! ; )

I chose Draw-tite because they are built very well and this one is no different. The welds are done well and I have no fear that this product will serve me well. The install wasnt to bad for a DIY type like me and the fit was excellent, only took a few hours. Knowing that I can now be pulled out of a bad situation or pull someone else out is comforting with the help of a hitch mounted winch. The Price was right and etrailer shipped it out fast although packing could use a smaller box . Oh yeah, UPS sure tested the toughness of this receiver ! . Great product and great service from etrailer

im very satisfied with my front receiver. ive used it as a recovery point,to move trailers, and as a mount for bike rack and cargo holder. if i had a winch platethat would be very handy too. etrailerhad a fair price, quick shipping, and overall great customer service. i would use them again andrecommend to a friend as well.

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.

Product shipped and received on time. I'm very happy with the packaging. Hardware was included with instructions to install the hitches I purchased.

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~

Relatively easy install. Just have to be mechanically inclined. We use the hitch to carry a fish rack/cooler on a 2011 Jeep Wrangler. So far so good.

Just what I needed. The hitch fit perfectly, all parts were there and the installation instructions were very clear.

Perfect hitch for those needing a rack for extra space. I used a heavy duty vinyl bag to enclose my tools, cords and generator on my 12k mile trip to alaska. The held that 500lbs extremely well across the permafrost damaged Alaskan highway! No twists, no bends and no worries!

Bolted right up to my 2019 F-250. Looks like it's going to work perfect to haul my E-bike rack. I might have to use a dual receiver hitch to drop the rack down for better visibility while driving. That's to be determined. I'd highly recommend the Eco Hitch!!

The hitch is great! Super stout. But, installation was a disappointment. There was a significant gap between the frame rails on the Ford. About 3/8 inch. Did some research and it seems some frames are different but can't confirm. I happen to have a piece of 3/8 steel plate that I was able to cut and drill and slide it in to take up the gap. Definitely extra work I wasn't planning on doing. I guess I'd still buy it again but if you're going to pay someone to install it then make sure they put a nice spacer in there and bot a bunch of washers. Again, not sure is this is a Ford inconsistency or an eco hitch problem. Because it's a hitch and needs to be 100% solid this should be looked into.

For a business that is based on shipping everything they need to learn how to package stuff. Everything I received from a trailer comes damaged at this point.

Installed on my 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 Denali. Shipping box was destroyed & poorly packed. Instructions were straightforward. Install took 1 1/2 hrs. I only trimmed the thin trim without cutting the skid plate. The receiver pushes up on the skid plate slightly, but I didn’t want to cut it. Should work great for my E-bikes when pulling the RV.

Quality hitch and the excellent service all the way around I'm used to getting from etrailer over the years. Installed on my 2016 Sierra Denali 2500HD, note instructions say on first line down that it does not fit the Denali trim due to extensive fascia cutting required; actually it was quite simple with the aid of a 4-1/2" cutoff disk and a sawzall. Installation is much easier with two people. See attached pics for actual material removed, note the lower fascia need not be cut for the hitch to fit through the hole. Maybe more work to install than the Curt hitch, but well worth the additional ground clearance.

The hitch was easy to install. The only issue is who ever welded it put the front ring on and it's turned to one side. It functions fine but bothers my OCD.

Great customer service and product.

The quality and fit is exceptional. So much so that this is the third hitch assembly I've purchased and installed. This one was for my brother in-laws 1999 F350. I also put a 10k winch on a slider that works perfectly with this assembly. Other vehicles I purchased and installed assemblies on are a 2011 F350 and a 2016 Class C motorhome. Very happy.

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