Heavy duty and well built. It didn’t fit my Warn M12000 winch exactly but I elongated the mounting holes slightly and it worked perfectly. Service was excellent, the mounting plate arrived 2 days after I ordered it.

this was the project at hand . I built the winch carrier and needed your front receiver hitch to attach to the 1998 Chev and give it more solidity to handle any thing that came up . Awesome product great doing business with y'all. From Morehead City North Carolina . THANKS

This item has been great, I flat tow a 1997 Jeep Cherokee behind my motorhome. After I remove the tow bar, this item allows me to install my winch on the front of the Jeep for some off road fun.

I installed the front hitch bar to expand the flexibility and uses for my truck. The hitch fit nicely with only minor adjustments. I was easily able to install the hitch by myself. I have two primary plans for the hitch: 1- Use a trailer ball to move two trailers I have around my work area with precision and less guessing by facing forward. 2- I have a front winch plate that can be added as needed to use a winch for those off road needs.
The staff at Etrailer were most helpful especially arranging a special delivery time to be sure I was home when it arrived.

Works as it should and I have definitely pushed the limits of my winch, receiver and this plate with no issues. (7k truck + 11k trailer, up a fairly steep hill; my poor winch).

I was pleased with the quality of the hitch mount plat but had to drill four new holes to mount my winch. Mounting holes didn't lineup for my M12,000 Warin winch. Was happy with the sale personnel very nice to deal with.

The Badlands 12,000 lb winch bolt pattern fits the holes to be used for the handle set, so don't plan on using the handles with the Badlands 12,000 lb winch without buying new longer bolts. Lots easier than making one from scratch, which is what I've done before. Guess @ 70 I'm getting lazy.

Great Product! Exactly what was described from the item description.
Very fast delivery. Cant understand why this product came quicker to a LA address when an order was placed from another website within 60 miles and will not receive until 3 days from now.
Will stop at this site first next time.

- Custom Gooseneck on Aluminum Flatbed and Adding Anti-lock Disc Brakes to 40 Foot Triple Axle TrailerWhen customizing the brackets needed for the # BWGNRC800 to install to your 2007 Dodge RAM 3500 HD Flat Bed Crew Cab with dually chassis truck frame, you ideally want to be just slightly in front of your rear axle. Anywhere from 1 to 3 inches in front is best and what is done for the custom bracket kits where available. The system will ideally be flush with the top of the frame so the gooseneck ring holding the ball will actually sit just slightly above the rails (to protrude above the...

- Looking For A Winch Mounting Plate For A Fulton 500621 WinchHey Ray, We do not carry a specific mounting plate/bracket for that specific Fulton jack that you mentioned. With that said the best option we have is the Curt Winch Plate # C31010. This is designed to fit almost all standard winch mounting hole patterns. It usually attaches by a hitch receiver but for boat trailers the most common way to mount I see is by welding it to the trailer tongue. What kind of boat or jet ski do you have?
view full answer... - Can I use the Curt D210 for Winch for pulling vehicles onto a trailerHello, that’s a smart question to ask before putting a setup like that together, especially with the kind of load a winch can put on your hitch. The Curt part # D210 can physically accept a hitch-mounted winch plate like the Curt part # C31010, and from a fit standpoint those parts will work together. That said, the D210 is rated for towing and vertical tongue weight, with a 7,500 lb gross trailer weight rating and 750 lb tongue weight rating shared across both attachment points, and...
view full answer... - Can the Winch Mount Plate # C31010 be Used with the Multipurpose Ball Mount # D210Using the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount # D210 to tow a motorcycle trailer and the Winch Mount Plate # C31010 to pull the motorcycle onto the trailer is a great idea! The multipurpose ball mount has a Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) rating of 7,500 lbs and a Tongue Weight (TW) rating of 750 lbs. That is a combination of both the ball mount and the 2nd receiver so you will want to make sure that you stay within those weight capacities. I have attached some review videos for you to check out...

- Distance of Hitch Pin Holes from Mounting Plate on CURT Trailer Hitch Electric Winch Mount PlateI went out to the warehouse and pulled a CURT Trailer Hitch Electric Winch Mount Plate, # C31010, to measure it. From the back of the mounting plate to the center of the nearest hitch pin hole, it is 4-1/4 inches. -The distance to the center hole is 6-1/4 inches. And to the last hole it measures 8-1/4 inches. I made a picture and a short video showing the measurements for you.

- Is There A Way To Mount A Winch To The Puck System In A GMC 2500Hey Tim, that is actually a really good idea. Unfortunately, there is no aftermarket product made for attaching a winch to the 5th wheel puck system in your GMC truck. There are rail adapters that fit into the puck system though. Your best option would be to take one of these adapters, like the Curt # C88KR and have someone weld/fabricate a winch mount to fit on top of the rails. With no aftermarket products available, making your own will be the only option. Just keep in mind, this...
view full answer... - Winch Mounting Plate For Badlands WinchI do have a solution for you, however, we not offer winch mounting plates specifically for Badlands Winches. Most winches use the industry-standard bolt pattern, but you will want to verify fitment with Badlands or drill your own mounting holes if necessary. The Universal Mounting Plate # BDW20295 has the highest weight rating out of all of our winch plates, rated at 15,000lbs max. For a receiver-mounted winch plate there is the Curt Trailer Hitch Electric Winch Mount # C31010; however,...
view full answer... - Front Mount Hitch for a 1998 Ford F-150 2WDI spoke with my contact at Curt who said that your 2WD 1998 Ford F-150 doesn't come with the tow hooks which is why their front mount hitch # 31049 will not fit. When I asked if the hitch could be installed if you purchased and installed the front tow hooks he said it would be compatible then. So the reason you have been having trouble is because of those tow hooks not existing on your pickup. Sometimes the license plate mount part # C31002 will need to be installed as well but it doesn't...

- Winch Mounting Plate for 2 Hitch Receiver to Fit Warn M12000 WinchFrom what I was able to find, the Warn M12000 winch is 24.37" L. x 8.45" D. x 11" H. I've attached a picture with the dimensions on the Bulldog Winch Hitch Mounted Winch Plate # BDW20011 but since the mounting cradle is only 8-5/16" wide (8.31") your Warn winch is going to be just a bit too large for this cradle. Since Warn winches are traditionally a bit larger than Bulldogs, I'd recommend using a winch plate like the Curt Electric Winch Mount Plate # C31010. This is also a hitch mounted...

- Wiring to Use an Electric Winch at the Front and Back of a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 3500Glad to hear that you will be using the Draw-Tite # 65078 to mount the (discontinued) Superwinch Tiger Shark Off-Road Winch SW1595200 to the front of your 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 3500. To easily swap the Tiger Shark winch from the front of your Silverado to the back I recommend using the Bulldog Winch Front Wiring Kit # BDW20025 and the Bulldog Winch Rear Wiring Kit # BDW20207. The front kit has 8' of wire while the rear kit has 24' of wire which should be more than enough for your application....
view full answer... - Is it Possible To Mount a Winch Tray to a Hitch While Trailer is Hitched Up As WellFor what you are looking to do you would be best served by mounting the winch to the trailer so that you can pull items up onto the winch like that. You could maybe use the # D210 which has a hitch opening above the ball mount platform to allow you to mount a winch plate like the # C31010 or # BDW20061R2 but having the winch on the trailer will be your best option.
view full answer... - Is there a Hitch-Mounted Winch Mounting Plate for a Warn 8274 WinchThe Bulldog winch mounting plate # BDW20011 will work with most major winch brands. The same goes for Curt mounting plate # C31010. Even if a winch is not listed on the page that doesn't mean it won't fit which is why the hole spacing measurements are important. I have attached video of each for you to check out.
view full answer... - Option for Mounting Winch in Toy Hauler Cargo Area FloorWhat a lot of people do to mount a winch like the Superwinch Tiger Shark Series # SW1595200 to the floor of a trailer is use a hitch mount like the part # C31010 and then fabricate a hitch opening to the floor of the trailer like the # E-11 welded to the frame or a crossmember of it. You'd have to cut a hole in the floor to accomplish this. The hitch mount route allows the winch to easily be removed from the trailer if needed as well.
view full answer... - What is the Weight Rating of the Curt 31010 Winch MountThe Curt Trailer Hitch Electric Winch Mount Plate # C31010 doesn't have a listed weight rating because the limiting factor is going to be the weight rating of your hitch. I confirmed this with my contact at Curt.
view full answer... - Can the Superwinch Winch 2 Go Portable Be Mounted to a Hitch ReceiverI do have an option for you but there isn't any receiver mount options for the Superwinch Winch 2 Go Portable part # SW1140232 since it's designed to be portable and it's a little underrated for full-size trucks. Instead, I recommend the Superwinch S5500 Trailer Winch part # SW1455201 which can be receiver mounted using a winch plate like the Curt Trailer Hitch Electric Winch Mount Plate part # C31010 and it has a higher capacity. Please note, you'll still need to use the Superwinch Snatch...
view full answer... - How to Mount a Removable Winch on a Trailer Using a Receiver TubeIn order to create a removable winch mounting plate on your trailer I recommend using the Curt Weld-On 2" Receiver for Custom Fabricated Hitches part # E17 with the Curt Trailer Hitch Electric Winch Mount Plate part # C31010. All you would need to do to use this combo is weld the receiver tube to your trailer where you would like to position the winch and then bolt the winch to the mounting plate. Unfortunately, we do not have any weld on 1-1/4" receiver tubes. However, the above 2" option...

The reference to removing the front skid plate on 2007 and newer models is a requirement for installing the hitch and the skid plate will not be reinstalled. When installed the receiver will be bellow the front bumper. A couple of handy accessories you might want to consider with the front receiver hitch are the Curt Trailer Hitch Electric Winch Mount Plate,...

To utilize any winch on the front of your vehicle, you would need to remove the Plow mounts and swap them out. I've attached the installation details to show you the locations they mount to. You may be interested in using a hitch receiver winch mount option for the rear of your truck. I recommend the Bulldog Winch Hitch...
view full answer... - Front Mount Hitch Options for a Winch on a 2018 Ford F-150 The front mount hitch receivers from Curt and Draw-Tite that fit your 2018 Ford F-150 are parts # C31083 and # 65067 respectively. Both of these are rated for 9,000 lbs line pull and 500 lbs vertical load. From the 2 bolts holes on the Curt to the top of the receiver tube measures just under 7-1/2" while that same distance on the Draw-Tite is closer to 7". The Draw-Tite will give you more ground clearance but not by much. Instructions for both receivers have been linked for you to reference. If...

These include the Curt # C31009 with handles, Curt # C31010 without handles, the Draw-Tite # 6495 and Bulldog # BDW20011 among others. All are shown on the linked page. Most winches will bolt right up to these mounts since they use industry-standard mounting hole spacing but it is possible that a certain winch might req
view full answer... - Mounting Plate for a Badlands WinchYou will need to check the bolt hole mounting pattern of your Badlands Winch, but we do offer several hitch mounted winch mounting plates that may work. First we have the Curt Mounting Plate, # C31010. On it, the first set of mounting holes are 10 by 4-1/2 inches, and the second set of mounting holes measure 6-1/2 by 4-1/2 inches center to center. I have included a picture showing the various dimensions of the Curt mounting plate. We also have the Draw-Tite Mounting Plate # BDW20011....

- Curt Trailer Hitch Winch Mount # C31010 Weight CapacityThe weight capacity of the Curt Trailer Hitch Winch Mount # C31010 is 9000 lbs of straight pull. You will also need to factor in the weight capacity of the hitch you are using as well and compare them, using the lowest limiting factor. You may also be interested in the Curt Trailer Hitch Winch Mount Handles # C31005 to provide protection for your Curt 2 inch winch mount. It also makes it easier to move your winch from the front hitch on your vehicle to the back hitch.
view full answer... - Front Hitch and Winch Mount Recommendation for a 2014 Honda RidgelineFor a front mount hitch the part # 33328 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2014 Honda Ridgeline so it would work well for you. The winch mount part # C31010 would then work well as a winch mount for the front hitch. I attached a help article on how to pick out the correct electric winch for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Hitch Mounted Winch Plate for Superwinch LP8500 with 10 x 4-1/2 Inch Bolt PatternThe Curt # C31010 would work just fine for you. The front-most hole is oblong, and will accommodate winches with bolt hole spacing ranging from 4.328 inches to 4.797. The hitch mounted winch mount would be compatible with the 4-1/2 inch bolt spacing you mentioned.
