Installation was straightforward. Watched the etrailer YT video for context before getting started. Performed the task alone in the driveway in a little over an hour. The hardest part was getting it torqued to spec. Definitely would have been simpler if I'd removed the bumper due to the lack of clearance when tightening and torquing the forward most bolts.

perfect fit and great instructions

by: Jacob 09/09/2026

I received my new hitch ahead of time and fit perfectly.

by: Darren 09/18/2025 One Year Later

All of the holes lined up perfectly except one. It was off by just enough - 1/16th - that the bolt would not fit through. I had to use a smaller bolt rather than disassemble and drill it out. It seems to be a very sturdy hitch and serves its purpose.

by: Stephen 06/15/2020

This is the second front hitch I have purchased from etrailer. As with the first, this was a well built, solid product. It fit my older 2009 Ford Super Duty perfectly. The only thing that was incorrect was in the instructions it called out the tools needed. But the actual sockets needed were larger than called for. Not a big deal, but something to correct moving forward. I mounted the hitch myself in about 45 minutes. Most of that time was getting set up and going looking for the larger sockets. I used a roll around jack, as I did with the first hitch, to lift it into place and be able to move it around. Works well. Everything was A+. Sorry I have no pictures. But it looks great.

Works great. Used many times with moving trailers and a stump grinder. Much easier to line up when pushing the item in front. Also mounted carrier to mount garden sprayer and drove the fence line inside my AC truck instead of on an ATV or lawn tractor.

This is the second "Curt" front hitch that I have purchased. I have not had the opportunity to mount it yet, but the instructions appear to be complete and easy to follow. It arrived UPS ground in about 5 days.

Installation was easy, even for 70yr old bod! Works great, bought it to mount a winch, have also used it to move trailers around the yard.

Ended up using this front receiver way more than I initially expected. Now it’s possible to one person back up my boat into garage...safely. Very easy to install and seems to be high quality. No complaints.

Still working great. Not sure if it is in the description, but this hitch fits chassis cabs trucks, e.g. my truck is a F450 Chassis Cab.

Perfect fit on our 2008 f350. Installation took less than an hour with two people. As usual good shopping experience with etrailer.

After a year the hitch has been very useful in unanticipated ways. Attaching a cargo rack nc we have a kayak rack attached to rear hitch. Hitch still looks new and no rust after first winter. Recommend product and etrailer.com.

by: Fred Benjamin 06/18/2013

2008 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty

The Curt receiver hitch is good quality but if your doing the install yourself from the driveway or garage floor, two floor jacks would be very helpful as the receiver hitch needs to be "snaked" in around the truck structure. The front receiver hitch will give us options for carrying various types of hitch attachments. Thanks e-trailer.

2008 Ford F-350 Super Duty

Good hitch for the price, I use it for a front cargo carrier for surf fishing, but I'm confident I could pull stuff with it. This fits my 2008 F350. Install wasn't too bad but this thing is heavy, easier with two people.

by: Lee J 03/06/2011

Ford F-250 Super Duty

than expected, working on my back with the truck sitting on the floor. The front end of the frame rails is up inside the bumper assembly, so it's rather tight space to work in, but the entire job took only about an hour. I did NOT have to trim the air dam.

The carrier slid right into place using a floor jack, and it was easy to align the front bolts. Once they were in place the floor jack could be removed. Fishing the rear bolts is a little tricky, but it went surprisingly well once I straightened-out the coiled fish-wire (leaving the bend about 2" from the end, which pops through the hole once it reaches it). To prevent losing the bolts inside the frame I pulled just a portion of the bolt-coils off the bolts' threads and got the nuts started before pulling-off the rest. This results in stretching-out and ruining the bolt-coils on the fish-wires. Curt anticipated this, however, and provided one for each side. That kind of thoughtfulness (and the slight extra cost of providing the second fish-wire) is what distinguishes excellence from merely good-enough.

2010 Ford F-250 Super Duty

the Curt front receiver for the 2010 F-250 is an exact fit- and it arrived in good time. I got the Curt rear receiver from etrailer a couple of years ago and it has worked well.
Now I can carry on both front and back. The video provided was a great help.

by: Vince C. 07/13/2014

I was very impressed about the quality and fitment of this product. The price was excellent, the shipping time was excellent, and the condition of the product received was also excellent. Of course it said it would take 20 minutes to install, but the reality was more like an hour taking my time and not wanting to damage anything. But still, under an hour was good. Everything went as planned out in the instructions. Overall, I am very please with the product and how it looks on my truck. Keep up the great products you sell!

This is the 3rd hitch I have ordered from etrailer.com. First one was for my second daughter's new 2022 Honda, 2nd one was for my 2018 Subaru Forester and this one is for for my 3rd daughter's Ford F-350 Super Duty. etrailer.com has what I need, fast and easy to order, delivered to my front door and it fits every time. -Wally-

fairly easy to install but 2 people suggested
very sturdy
If you install a load basket in the receiver, be sure to attach something that helps you remember its there so you dont bump the car in front of you. I used a fiberglass rod I could see from the cab

I had problems with your website but etrailer corrected my issue. I’ll look forward to ordering again.

I just had a chance to finally get it mounted to my truck. The fit is perfect. I have never had any issues with anything that I’ve ever gotten from etrailer.

Fast shipping! This receiver is fully welded and very heavy! I’m impressed with the thick wall square tubing.

Trailer Hitch & Front Mount Hitch For 2008 Ford F-550 Cab & Chassis
Hi Stuart, I'm not 100% sure if you were referring to a rear-mount hitch or front-mount hitch for your 2008 Ford F-550 cab and chassis so just to be thorough I'll go ahead and give you the options for both: - Rear: Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C15445 - Front: Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31008 I'm not sure what you were referring to regarding a winch to 2-1/2 inch ball kit, however; feel free to leave a comment below if you'd like.

Will EcoHitch Front Hitch EH59FR Fit A 2008 Ford F-250?
Hello Gary, thanks for reaching out. The # EH59FR EcoHitch you mentioned is only for the 2011-2016 F-250, and is not confirmed to fit the 2008 model. The flanges may be similar but the positioning of the receiver would not line up correctly. The correct front hitch for the 2008 F-250 is the following: - Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # C31008

Curt vs. Draw Tite Front Hitch for 2008 Ford F-Super Duty
The Curt hitch part # C31008 and the Draw Tite part # 65049 for your 2008 Ford Super Duty are very similar and will install the exact same. The only slight difference you might notice is that the Curt sticks out a bit further than the Draw Tite. The picture on the left shows the Draw Tite and on the right shows the Curt where you can see the slight difference.

Will the Curt Front Hitch C31008 Fit on a 2019 Ford F-350
I have a solution for you, but the Curt # C31008 is only designed to fit on 2008-2010 Ford Super Duty trucks. For a 2019 Ford F-350 you'll need the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # C31078, which is the confirmed custom fit front hitch for this vehicle. Installation of a front hitch on the 2019 F-350 may require trimming of front air dam and/or fascia for installation, but this is the case for all of the front hitches available for this model.

Installation Of Curt Front Hitch, # C31008 On A 2008 Ford F250/F350 Super Duty
The installation of the Curt Front Hitch, # C31008, is an easy bolt-on installation and requires no drilling. The hitch will just bolt to the frame rails on the truck. On some vehicles it may require some minor trimming to the fascia. I am sending you a video link to the installation of a Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver by Draw-Tite, # 65049, which is the same install as the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver, # C31008, that you are asking about.

Front Mounted Trailer Hitch Receiver Compatibility on 2008 Ford F-450 with Boss Snow Plow Mounts
A front mounted trailer hitch receiver like # C31008 will not fit on your 2008 Ford F-450 at the same time as your Boss Snow Plow Mount. The mounts will interfere with each other, so you will need to swap them when desired as they will not work together. I've attached a photo and video of the mount locations to further assist. You may want to consider the SnowBear Proshovel Snowplow for 2" Hitches - Electric Actuator - 84" Wide x 22" Tall # SB324-172 which would keep you from changing...

Yes, the Curt 2 Bike Platform Rack part # C18085 will be sufficient for use on the front of your 2008 Ford F-350 with a front mount trailer hitch. I recommend the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C31008 because it is American made, no drilling is required, and only minor trimming is involved (see photo). In fact, hitch mounted accessories on the front of the vehicle would actually be more sturdy than those on the rear as the distance from the front axle to the trailer hitch...
