Easily attach a variety of accessories to the front of your vehicle with this fully welded, corrosion-resistant trailer hitch receiver. Perfect for winches, spare tire carriers and more.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.

Great front receiver hitch for my Chevy Silverado 2500 HD. Everything fit using OE bolts and nuts. Only the plastic trim had to be cut out to fit receiver. I had dealer do it, but would have done it myself when I was younger. etrailer is easy to order from and has good customer service.
Great product! Super easy to install! This makes my winch twice as versatile. Thanks for a design that leaves the tow hooks in the truck!
Quality seems very good, install is straight-forward, have not had a chance to actually use it.
Just received it. Have not had time to install but will asap!
Thank you for the quick response of shipment!
Melva - 12/09/2022Great product, easy to install. Had to cut the air-dam but no other alterations needed. It is a little low but no more so than the front of the truck air dam.
Owen W - 05/02/2018Overall, my experience with etrailer was good. There was an initial delay in shipping, but once I talked to someone, everything went well. The help page was invaluable. The biggest help was the installation video. While there are slight differences between the 2011 GMC and the 2013, the process was the same. I am very pleased with the product and the support. Picture attached.
Richard B - 07/08/2014sturdy and fit with no problems, just what I needed for my snow plow
Installed this hitch this morning 10/06/19. Was going to wait for help as arthritis in hands makes turn wrenches a chore but was bored so went ahead anyhow. This is my second front hitch install , first one on 2018 F-150. Today’s install on 2014 duramax 2500. Today’s install was super simple , used floor jack to hold hitch up in position, you need to remove four bolts on each side , I did try air tools on the 21mm bolts but not powerful enough so used small piece of copper pipe over wrench handle for leverage to loosen, air tools were able to loosen the six 18mm bolts , took me about an hour and a half by myself. The fit of the hitch was absolutely perfect! Had to cut a small piece of the air dam at bottom of bumper, used a hacksaw, very easy. The quality and coating on the hitch is top notch.
Great product...I carry bicycles on the front of truck while towing a camper. Can also carry a cargo basket or winch on the front. Love it!
Mitch E - 01/15/2021Excellent fit & function delivered in a reasonable amount of time. Although this shot is at our current campground in NJ, the hitch will be used to park my boat in its hard-to-get-to parking spot. Great job, Etrailer!
TomW2034 - 01/23/2018Fit and finish is great and installation was fairly simple with the right tools.
As always, delivery was quick. Hitch was easy to install and works nice. We do a lot of camping and since very few of the travel trailer manufacturers recommend a trailer hitch (some will tell you it voids your warranty), we can carry our bikes up front with this hitch.
Gerard B - 04/14/2018We pull a fifth-wheel and have our kayaks on the back of the camper, originally the bike rack went into the kayak rack but it made a lot of weight hanging out the back, so we bought this front hitch for our bikes and it worked out great. Hitch is heavy duty and was easy to install.
Great design, ease of installation, very solid.
Roger - 04/30/2022It was easy to install even for this old guy. I did need the trim the plastic underneath but it was very easy. Seems very strong for what I'm doing. It carried three bicycles for over 4,000 miles with no issues.
Super easy, DIY!!! Best price around, delivered in 2 days for free! Would definitely look at etrailer again for any camping/ hauling / trailer needs !
I ordered a front hitch mount for our RV. Product is very heavy duty and priced right! I ordered on a Friday afternoon and had my part by Tuesday, very impressed. Will surely use this company in the future.
C. - 09/25/2021Product fit as it was designed to, absolutely no issues installing by myself, took about an hour. A small alteration to bumper spoiler had to be done in order to fit as mentioned prior to purchase.
Easy to install after watching instructional video on the Etrailer website.
Perfect fit on my 2014 Sierra 2500HD Denali. Removed the air dam and it bolted right up. I use it for a front rack to haul a canoe with my 5th wheel camper and it suits my purposes perfectly. You do lose some front approach angle with the receiver hanging down up front, but if you don't do a lot of off road travel you wouldn't notice any difference.
very sturdy product; installation was straight forward exactly as instructions indicated. I had planned to haul motorcycle on this front mount hitch with a carrier meant for a rear receive hitch. While i have not done so yet (lighting issues i need to resolve), this receiver will do the job. I also plan on picking up a receiver mount for a winch which could come in handy. Shipping was fast from etrailer. Overall great product and great service! I got just what I expected from the description.
WORKED JUST LIKE IT SAID
Exact fit. Took less than 30 minutes to install in my shop and used all of the factory attaching hardware. If your truck is equipped with the second lower plastic deflector, approximately 3" long, you'll need to trim a 2 3/4" square out dead center for the tube to clear. I've installed several RV accessories over the years and I want to thank you for taking the time to get the fit correct. Time is money and your product is spot on. I would recommend this to anyone looking to install a hitch to the front of their truck for a bike rack or to make moving a trailer around in a crowded yard a breeze.
I installed the hitch on my 2011 HD2500 Silverado and it functions as expected. The installation itself was simple. I had to cut out a small area of the valance/air dam so the hitch would clear. I had no trouble torquing the hardware to specs. The installation looks good and like it is intended to be there.
I have used Curt hitches previously and this product is to place my boat in a closed in area in my backyard.
