Nicely made and well constructed. Very easy to install. Instructions were very simple. Very confident that it will perform as stated and above. Would definitely recommend.
For my 2024 GMC3500 Sierra I installed the C52NR Curt front receiver. Install was straight forward. All hardware was included. The instructions could use a few more photos just to create certainty regarding installation of the bolts and washers that replace the front tow hook bolts.
The photos show how I installed mine.Hope it works. Note how on the passenger side the receiver bolt is inserted in the opposite direction of the factory tow hook bolt. On the driver side they are inserted the same direction.
The carriage bolt install is obvious and easy.
My receiver is installed but I have not used it yet. I will use it for a motorcycle carrier. I installed it myself using a small jack to balance the receiver as I aligned bolts and secured it. I trimmed the air dam plastic with the hitch loosely in place. I used my Milwaukee multitool and a small keyhole saw.
I was very satisfied with The front mount hitch for my truck, it was well built and just like the etrailer install videos said it was a simple install. Always satisfied with etrailer.
The hitch is a perfect solution to install a winch without having to change bumpers. The instructions could use some work.
With that being said, I found it easier to hinge the hitch down from the long bolts and install everything from there. It also gave a more accurate location for the slot to cut out of the lower trim.
However, the wiring is NOT suitable for an average-sized vehicle winch. The wire gauge is way too small.
Also, it does NOT come with a ground wire.
Excellent product for those of us with airstream trailers. This enables you to carry bikes on the front of your truck without the stress of adding something to the back of your airstream. Also, you don’t have to lift bikes into the bed of your trailer. Excellent accessory really no problem with visibility.
Greta product! This is my second one and the fit is perfect. eTrailer has great customer service and they get orders out quickly.
Fits well and easy to install. I have a utility rack on the back and wanted to take our e-bikes with us so the choice was a front hitch and carrier. Works great.
It installed easily on my 2020 Sierra 2500 HD with no modifications to the front air dam and there were no wires on the drivers side. It did seem the frame tabs were narrower than the distance between frame rails so I pulled the sides evenly snug against the frame rails.
2025 gmc 3500 dually just what I was looking for , fast service. Will fit listed truck no trimming , carrying two giant e-bikes kuat bike rack

I'm happy to hear we had just what you were looking for Stephen! E-bikes are so much fun and it looks like you're ready to load up and roll out. Where do you like to take your bikes to ride?
Excellent fit and finish
Easy install, perfect fit, 1 hour install and no lift!
Thank etrailer
The part seems as if it’s put together well. The install was easy. The shipping package was garbage. Not sure who would think it would survive the mail. Arrived with paint scrapes as it was sticking out of the box. I touched it up and installed it. Should have been 5 stars if not for the package.
Delivery time was fast and installation was straightforward.
Thankyou
fit perfectly. easy to install. instructions were clear. we'll made product.
Worked great,! Drove to the west coast and back with this hitch with
a 300 lb box on the front.
A perfect fit and installation.
The hitch arrived on time, instructions (watched a video too) were spot on, and it fit like it should.
Great fit and easy installation.
It looks good and does what it is supposed to do.

Looks like it was meant to be there, Kevin! What are you using the hitch for?


The hitch was easy to install, I use the hitch to push trailers around in my yard. This is easier than backing in tight spaces. The secondary use is for bicycle carrier on the front of the pickup enabling in obstructed trailering.
Installation was a breeze! Everything fit perfectly. My truck is a GMC 3500 Sierra with the "X-31 Off Road Package" which has a skid plate in the area where the receiver is mounted. The skid plate did not interfere with the receiver! I did not need to trim the plastic fascia that the directions indicate may need to be trimmed.

Excellent!
Fast shipping, easy install.
Well made, ez install - took about 40 min in driveway with floor jack to lift into position. No drilling. Will be using for surf fishing soon!
Has served it's purpose well. I'm surprised it also still looks new.
This is the third front receiver I have bought from etrailer, I’ve had one on a 2011, a 2015 and now my 2024 pickup truck. I use them to carry bikes and they all have performed up to my expectations.
Easy installation. Didn’t have to cut any trim off 2025 Sierra 2500 SLE.
