Most Popular EcoHitch for 2021 Ram 3500

The product is good. The way you ship it in light cardboard boxes is useless. There was grass and dirt in the box. With the hitch half out of the box, I can see why. Change your shipping policies. Thanks

The build Quality is great. The execution of delivery was poor I met there are UPS driver at the end of my driveway. When the delivery driver was pulling the hitch out of the back of the truck all I heard was hardware hitting the floor of the truck. I am only missing a few of the screws to hold the license plate on the holder luckily.The hitch did not come in a box and was just wrapped in plastic with the hardware bag split open.

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

Good quality. Uses factory bolt hardware instead of hardware in packaging.

I installed this on my 2022 F350 King Ranch to mount a motorcycle carrier. It is a great fit and a well made hitch. Install only required minor modifications and NONE which were not highlighted in the install video on the website. The video is excellent. Watch it before you order and you’ll have zero WTF’s. etrailer customer service is always great and this transaction was no exception. They are my go to for everything hitch related. Thanks, hope this helps,

This does fit a 2023 F250 single axle gas 7.3 godzilla Engine. Etrailer video is a great video to get it put on in a hour and a half. I recommend leaving the plastic part in the bumper out. Also recommend only putting tape on the two inside bummer mounts as the other two you can access easily. The shovel things are not reinstalled. Very satisfied with the quality and instructions and youtube video.

Review for truck front hitch receiver I finally Installed the front receiver hitch today, I pulled it out of its package and found all parts wrapped to the receiver hitch good call as there was a hole in the box. The license plate holder received some damage it was bent some. Installation. I reviews the video prior and read the instructions. Had to purchase a 4 inch hole saw and a torque wrench that added to the cost of the hitch. Installation was for the most part straight forward, when the video cuts from shot to shot I now know all the cussing and swearing are done during that time as it’s very difficulty to get the hitch in over/under the exiting hardware, solo installer took me 3.45 hrs to install, tight fit under the truck to maneuver under the truck. Bolts back into original tow hooks was a total Pain in the A$$ trying to hold up the hitch and the hooks while trying to maneuver the hold back in. (Had to take it out as I inserted on the wrong side) I will say that installation is doable by novice front yard mechanic but with a difficulty of 7 out of 10, trying to get the bolts torqued to specs is difficult due to clearance and angle of the bolts. Make sure you have deep well sockets because the new bolts for the hitch and long and a standard size socket will not be able to grip the nut as you tighten it down to specs. Put the bike rack on the hitch receiver and found that the hole that we drilled out to put the hitch in is not big enough. The bolt for the hitch goes in from the right and there was barely enough room to get it in the hole, used a wrench to tighten it but it was slow going, the other issue was that on the left side there is a hitch lock I struggled to get it on, but then could not reach in to remove the key. So final outcome was I had to drill out another 4 inch section of the bumper to get to the key. If your hitch has a bolt on bike rack like the swagman e-bike rack you want it to be secure so the bolt is a must this option may not be the best option. The bikes block the headlights so no night driving with the bikes on the rack. The handlebars need to be folded down otherwise the bikes will ride too high on the front and obstruct your vision. If I had to do it again I would have gotten the hitch that is lower and would not have to drill out my bumper, and it would have given me more visual clearance. I did take a shot drive with the bikes in front it will take a bit to get used to them being in the front as well as making wide turns while towing the RV that I don’t take out the car in front of me.

My friend installed the hitch and I helped . But mostly by staying out of his way!?? Everything worked out perfectly!!! Thank Y’all for the Great Service

Mounted it yesterday and it fit like glove on my 22 3500 chevy. Easy to do and only took a couple hours.

This is a very sturdy and well-made hitch. Installation was fairly straight forward - the directions and video are very good. My truck is a 2024 Silverado 2500 HD in High Country trim (why pay less?) so, the fairings/moldings under the front bumper were slightly different, but nothing that was not easy to adjust to. The measurements in the instructions were right on. As you can see in the photos, we have two ebikes that we plan to haul around while we pull our camper. The hitch and bike rack set up appears to be very secure and stable. They sit a little higher than I would like, but not any higher that the snowplow lights I had on a truck I has way back in the day... I'm pretty good at backing the camper (28 ft), but I am also looking forward to testing out pushing the camper into it's fairly tight parking pad. I've never done it, but I hear it works well in close spaces. Lastly, this is the second hitch I have purchased from etrailer. We added one to the back of the wife's Rav4 last fall to haul this same bike rack and bikes. It also works great (tight, stable and secure) except note that the Toyota installation was a little more challenging as there is very little room to work & insert the bolts, however, no cutting was involved. It looks nice. In any case, both transactions were great. If I had another vehicle that needed a hitch, I would purchase it again from eTrailer. Much thanks to all.

I purchased this "Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver" to accept a "One Up Fat Tire Bicycle Rack". The price was little more than I thought I would have to pay for a front hitch receiver, but after doing a lot of research on what was available for the front of a Mercedes Benz Sprinter 3500 I realized that this was the only receiver to purchase. Shipping/Delivery time was very good. The Hitch is a heavy item to ship in just a cardboard box. The cardboard shipping box was beet up and the hitch had a couple scratches but let's be realistic It's a hitch receiver. It is going to be punished it's whole life riding on the front of my MB sprinter. Installation instructions are very good. The installation went smoothly step by step as illustrated in the very detailed directions. All the necessary hardware was included. As far as I'm concerned if you are going to install a hitch receiver on your sprinter van, and you plan on DIY, this is your best selection on the market. When the bike rack is not installed on the receiver the receiver is barely visible. The receiver does not change ground clearance height.

Easy to install. Works perfect to hook up car trailer to front of rv when camped for days at the track.

Let me start by saying this is not the first front receiver I've purchased from etrailer all my trucks get front receivers for winches. This time though the box shows up on time but the corner is blown open and the receiver is hanging out. Also the bag of bolts has been ripped open and half the bolts are loose in the open box but to my surprise after counting everything, they were all there.spray foam packing would have mitigated all that. Moving on. Went to install the receiver and the end mounting plates are 1/4 inch too tight. Won't fit the frame rails. Had to spread each side 1/8 out with a Hydraulic bottle jack. Apparently using a jig during the manufacturing process is optional these days. After all that I finally got it to fit good. It looks good and the welds seem adequate. I think it could have been installed in an hour by myself if not for having to "adjust" it but was still done in under 2 hours.

Mounted the EcoHitch hidden front mount trailer hitch on 2011 Ford F 250 with a Ranch Hand Grill Guard. The Ranch Hand uses two of the same holes as the EcoHitch's four mounting holes. Getting the pieces lined up is a bit of a challeng although no modifacations were necessary.If I have the need to do it again I would let an installation shop do it. etrailer's customer service and commuication are excellent, shipping time and delivery were very fast.
