It wasn't hard to install, instead of the wire I used two pen sized telescoping magnets to wriggle them in the square holed plates. My plans are to use this hitch in place of tow hooks. Good looks and sturdy!

I didn’t know how much I would need this until I moved into my new house just yesterday. The garage door is much shorter at our new house, 7 foot vs. 9 feet. Using the front hitch and a 5 1/2 drop hitch, I have about two inches of clearance when putting my boat in our new garage. Without the front hitch I would have been able to get the boat in the garage. Not to mention how much more the trailer is to steering inputs, the garage is much narrower that our old one. If you have a tight spot to park something this will make your life much easier! Installation was simple and instructions well written. The tool to install the mounting bolts is a brilliant idea.

I like my front hitch.
Pros: easy to moderate ease of install.
Comes with all the hardware.
I have tested it using a winch on the front to move a 62 Lincoln continental, No problems.
Con: My truck is a stock dodge 4x4. My point being is it is not raised, but higher than typical dodges. I had to buy a front hitch guard because the hitch kept hitting the concrete parking barriers when you park. So if you are going to drive off road, keep in mind this hitch may hit.
If I sold my truck I would want to pull this part off if there was a way to put it on a new truck.

Works great, holds the winch in place and allows me to pull out cars or trees from easier to reach positions.

Easy ordering, quick delivery, relatively simple installation. Took a couple of hours from start to finish and worked perfectly to back my camper/trailer into a tight space.

Still loving it George, thanks for asking! Recommend it to all who ask about it.
by: Todd02/23/2018
Having a front trailer hitch on my truck is great. Now I can pull my camper with the rear hitch & put my bicycle carrier on the front hitch. Have not tried moving my boat or camper with the front hitch yet, but I know it will be great for putting either one in to a tight spot.
by: Gary C11/11/2013
The service I received from etrailer was outstanding; the customer service rep that helped me with my order was super friendly and very helpful with all my questions and concerns and processed my order on the spot. I had my shipping confirmation right after I placed my order and received my hitch in 2 days from start of my order... The only issue I had was from the maker of the hitch I purchased, the wire they give you to fish the bolts was too short from my access point on the frame of the truck but with a little extension added on the wire given to me allowed me to installed the hitch with no problems... etrailer in my book is A+++ and I will buy all my truck and hitch needs from this awesome internet store.. Thank You again etrailer for a super smooth transaction with my purchase.
by: Michael R03/27/2020
Front hitch was fairly easy to install. Instructions easy to follow only complaint was wire for fishing bolts thru frame broke while pulling 2nd bolt thru. Had to make one from wire I had. Hitch works great for my needs.
by: nate macallister03/20/2014
we hooked it up today thursday march 20 2014. the hitch was very easy to install. we then hooked up a receiver with a winch mounted to it. we then hook the cable from winch to a tree to test the trailer hitch and the winch and receiver all at once it all worked great.can't wait to test it all out four wheeling. my friends will see it soon and they all want the same hook up.

2007 Dodge Ram-Pickup
Received my hitch promptly and installation went fairly easy The only problem I had was that the fish wire tool was to short for the front two holes on both sides. I was able to attach a coat hanger to it to extend the reach and complete the job
The video was very helpful in positioning the hitch
All and all I am very pleased with this hitch.

Great company to deal with and the hitch fits perfect as did the last one I bought from etrailer.I mounted this front hitch on my 2004 Dodge Ram 4X4 and it didn't requirer cutting out the center of the spoiler.took about 35 minutes.Delivery was very fast and I am completely satisfied.

I had ordered a similar hitch from Amazon weeks before receiving it damaged three different times. Three is a charm and I started searching elsewhere when I found you guy's, etrailer.com. The product arrived undamaged. Though I've not installed it yet I believe it will be a whole lot easier due to the wonderful installation video you sent me. I will tell you the video was a selling point for me. Thank you for the great service, product and the video.

Item is perfect...I installed it by myself in about 45 minutes on my 2004 Dodge Ram...No need to drill holes as they are already there, and didn't need to trim the air dam below :O)...the fish wire was great!!! easier to fish the bolt etc from the mounting holes straight up through the frame than trying to go all the way to the access hole though...

2004 Dodge Ram Pickup
Very high quality. Very easy to install. Does not take away any ground clearance. On the 2004 Ram, no drilling and no cutting fascia. I will use mine mainly for carrying bicycles while towing our travel trailer.
by: Vincent11/18/2018
Install took about 25 minutes. It took longer to cut up the box it came in. The holes lined up perfectly and other than a 2" square it is almost invisible. Great product...

This hitch is perfect for moving the jet skiis to the back yard through a narrow fence and bringing the snowmobiles to the front for winter. Much easier than trying to back them in. Going to get a Snopro plow, which was the first thought for this hitch.

One of the best hitches on the market after 1 year of use still looks like new . I'm am planing on buying another truck and I will be buying from you again. Thank you for such a great product.
by: Keith03/05/2018
Like most everything we’ve bought here this worked well and was a good value.
The installation was only similar to the instructions but worked out well in about and hour start to finish. The wire to snake the bolts into place is clever.
by: Alan03/09/2022
Fast delivery and excellent fit, easy to install with included instructions. Outstanding quality also!
by: Rick11/09/2018
The product is great. Unfortunately, one came with my snowsport plow, so I have an extra. I was able to easily install.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Front Receiver Hitch
- Is Drilling Safe for Installing Curt Front Hitch on 2007 Dodge Ram 1500The Curt hitch part # 31320 attaches to the frame of your 2007 Dodge Ram 1500. The frame of a vehicle would not be a "crumple zone" and this hitch has been tested on your vehicle to be safe. The front end part of a vehicle that is designed to crumple in accidents is the bumper not the frame.
view full answer... - Front Mount Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500The Curt Front Hitch part # 31320 that you referenced has been confirmed as a fit for your 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 so I would recommend it for you. The 2006 Ram in the attached video is the same generation as yours so the install will be the same.
view full answer... - Can Curt Front Mount Hitch Receiver Be Installed Upside Down?The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 31320 is not designed to be installed upside down. The hitch may or may not need to be modified for that, but the frame would required drilling for that and the warranty from the manufacturer would not cover that use as it hasn't been tested for load under that use. I can't recommend it.
view full answer... - Width and Bolt Hole Spacing Side to Side for Curt Front Mount Receiver 31320I went out to the warehouse to measure Curt front mount receiver # 31320 for you. The overall width is 35-5/8 inches. The bolt holes side to side are space 33-3/4 inches apart on center. The side brackets where the bolt holes are on the hitch are 2-1/4 inches wide.

- Installing Curt Front Mounted Receiver # 31320 on 2006 Dodge 2500 4x4I spoke with my contact in the engineering department at Curt Manufacturing, who tells me that most, but not all 2006 Ram 2500 models had the access hole in the frame as shown in the instructions. If the front of the frame member allows enough room to pull the bolt and spacer through, you can go that route. Otherwise, you can use a 1-1/4 inch hole saw to make an access hole in the frame as shown in the instructions. I have linked you to the installation instructions as well as to an install...
view full answer... - Is Front Mount Trailer Hitch for 2007 Dodge Ram Pickup Available That Extends Through Front BumperWe offer one front-mounted trailer hitch for your 2007 Ram 1500. It is the Curt, part # 31320. The installation for this hitch does not go through the bumper as you requested. It does mount with the receiver opening below the bumper. Per the instructions the front fascia or air dam may need to be trimmed to allow clearance for the hitch. I am not aware of any front trailer hitches that install through the bumper as you mentioned.
view full answer... - Front Mount Tow Hitch Receiver for a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 that Does Not Require Fascia TrimmingCurt front mount hitch # 31320 is a confirmed fit for your 2004 Dodge Ram 1500. There is no trimming indicated in the instructions, linked to the right, for a 2004 model, just 2006 and later models. I have included a link to a video showing installation on a 2006 model so you can ignore any trimming parts. Everything else should be exactly the same on your 2004.
view full answer... - Best Clearance Front Mount Hitch for 2005 Ram 1500 4x4The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 31320 will provide better ground clearance for your 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 by approximately 3 inches. I have attached a photo that will show you the measurements from the mounting surface of each hitch to the top and bottom of the hitch receivers. The written instructions and an installation video of the Curt # 31320 front mount hitch are linked to this page for you.

- Replacement Mounting Hardware Recommendation for Curt Front HitchYes, we offer replacement hitch install hardware with the part # RHK. You'd simply need to enter the part number of the hitch you have (31320) and then select Curt as the manufacturer and we'd ship you out the correct hardware.
view full answer... - Ground Clearance of the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2004 Dodge Ram 1500I just spoke with my rep from Horizon Global about the The Draw-tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" item # 65033. Due to varying tire sizes, trims, and after market suspensions like yours, they do not offer the measurements of how far off the ground that front mount hitch is on a stock 2004 Dodge Ram 1500. He told me the best way to determine the hitch height for your specific vehicle is to measure from the bottom of your frame to the ground and subtract 10 1/2". Whatever...

This hitch will fit the 2008 Dodge Ram, excluding the Mega Cab models.

view full answer... - Front Hitch Recommendation for 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 for SnowSport PlowSnowsport used to test their plows with the Curt front hitches which they'd recommend highly with their kits. So for your 2003 Dodge Ram 1500 the Curt front hitch # 31320 would be your best choice.
view full answer... - Using Roadmaster Falcon 2 Towbar with 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 with Front Winch InstalledThe Curt Front Mount 2-Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # 31320, cannot be used to flat-tow your Ram Pickup. You can flat-tow your vehicle (provided it is not the SRT-10) with base plates, such as the Roadmaster XL Base Plate Kit for 2005 Ram Pickup, part # 260-1. This base plate is compatible with all Roadmaster towbars. Your Ram 1500 should be able to have both the front-mount hitch, # 31320, and the tow bar base plates, # 260-1, installed simultaneously since they mount to different...

- Will Westin Grille Guard for 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 Quad 4WD # 45-1950 Work With Tow Hooks Front HitchMy contact at Westin confirms that installation of their Sportsman Grille Guard for the 2008 Dodge Ram 1500 4WD Quad Cab, part # 45-1950, requires removal of the factory tow hooks. Both items cannot be installed at the same time. I see that you purchased a Curt front-mount hitch for your Dodge Ram 1500 from etrailer back in September of 2011; that part number is # 31320. I reviewed the installation instructions for this hitch and the illustrations show the hitch mounts to the underside...

Curt # 31320 and Draw-Tite # 65033 share a square tube design, 500-lb vertical pull and 9000-lb line pull capacities and no-drilling installation. Neither hitch will require fascia trimming on your Ram 1500; this is required only for the Curt hitch when installed on 2006 and later model years. Both products' instructions are linked as are a video for the Curt hitch...
view full answer... - Is the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Compatible with Westin E-Series Bull Bar on a 2008 Dodge RamIt is sometimes possible to have both a Bull Bar and a front mount trailer hitch installed at the same time on a vehicle. The problem is that in the majority of vehicles, both parts require at least some of the same mounting locations so they would interfere with one another. What you will need to do is take a look at the isntructions for the front mount hitch that I have linked to see where it mounts and compare that to the mounting locations used by the Bull Bar to determine compatibility....
view full answer... - Recommended Front Mount Hitch for a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500I do have front mount trailer hitch options for a 2002 Dodge Ram 1500 like the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 31320 which is what I recommend but none of them mount inside the front bumper like you see on the earlier models. The reduction in ground clearance is very minimal but there is not a workaround for this. For a winch mount, the Bulldog Winch Hitch Mounted Winch Mounting Plate with Handles part # BDW20011 is what I recommend.
view full answer... - Front Mount Hitch Recommendation for a 2008 Dodge Ram 1500There are front hitches available for your 2008 Dodge Ram 1500, but the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65063 that you referenced is designed for newer Rams and would not work for you. You would want either the Curt Front Hitch # C31017 if your 1500 Ram has a Mega Cab or a Curt Front Hitch # 31320 if you do not have a Mega Cab.

I have also linked a video showing installation. The other option is # C31017. It will NOT fit Laramie models though. The same drilling and possible trimming applies to this hitch as well since it installs...

- Which Front Mount Hitch Offers the Most Ground Clearance on a 2004 Dodge Ram 1500They currently only make two custom fit front hitches for your 2004 Dodge Ram 1500. You can choose from either the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 31320 or the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 65033. Out of these two options the Curt Trailer Hitch hang down the least as you can see in the attached photo. Unfortunately, both of the above trailer hitches are made for customers who still have the lower valance which is the reason they sit the way they do....

- Front Mount Trailer Hitch Options for a 2007 Dodge Ram 1500There are a couple of options for a front mount receiver for the 2007 Dodge Ram 1500 depending on the cab size. If the truck does not have a Mega Cab, use CURT Front Mount Receiver, # 31320. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. Please note, if you have a Sport model, non-Mega Cab, you will also need a spacer kit, # 31320-SK. If the truck does have a Mega Cab you will need CURT Front Mount Receiver, # C31017.

Better than expected. I didn’t need it when I first bought it, but we moved shortly after I installed the hitch. I left a 9 foot garage door on a detached garage. With a 5 in hitch my boat clears a 7 foot garage door. It will not low enough off the rear receiver.
