Specs:
Draw-Tite's Tested Tough program provides testing standards far superior to those outlined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the go-to source for engineering professionals.
Each Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver undergoes extensive fatigue testing and static testing with the ball mount that is either supplied or recommended for use with that particular hitch, thus ensuring results that are applicable to real life use. Fatigue testing is also conducted on hitches rated for use with weight-distribution systems.
In addition, Draw-Tite performs static testing on a simulated automobile, as opposed to the rigid fixture used for SAE testing, resulting in a more true-to-life scenario.
At etrailer.com we're committed to the products we sell, and to our customers. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are available via both phone and email to address your questions and concerns for the lifetime of your hitch.

Complete Towing Package for 2024 Ford Mustang
Product is heavy enough it won't get damaged in shipping.
You could do better at packaging
I put this on my 2022 F450 so I can carry a bike rack while carrying my slide in camper. Overall fit was great and the video on this site was very helpful. I did have to slot the brackets on the auxiliary cooler about 1/4" with a file so it could sit up higher so the hitch wouldn't put a lot of pressure on it. After that it all fit together nicely.

Hey James. Where are you planning on taking the slide in camper and bike to?
Good price, fast shipping & product as described.
Tough install. I should have removed the bumper
I ordered F250 Tremor Air Dam thinking the fit might be perfect with no cutting. Real happy with the way New Air Dam and Hitch install turned out.

Thanks for sharing what would have made it an easier install - others will be thank you, too! The pictures look great - you're set :) What will you be using the front mounted hitch for?

Fit onto the front of a new F-250. It’s a 2 person install but we were pre-pared and are happy with the hitch. We use it for a light duty snow plow for our home driveway.
Excellent from researching, ordering, fast shipment! Years ago I purchased a front hitch for my 2008 F-350 from etrailer. It was a no brainer to buy for my 2024 F-250. The videos make installation a breeze. Thank You

This hitch is great. I left off the front plastic air ram because mine was cracked and I think the truck looks much better without it. The install was super easy. Used a floor jack to help lift it into place. It only took 40 minutes to install!
This was easy to install, Hides well in the front. Carries my motorcycle carrier very well.

Looks great on your truck! How often do you take you bike out?
Works great; fits nice; and cost was very reasonable. I've used mine to mount a hitch haul tray, a front motorcycle carrier (under 300#); and a 9,000# winch that I not used yet. On my 2023 Ford F350 with the Tremor front air dam, no trimming or cutting of the front air dam was required.
Tight fit between frame, beyond that
Videos very helpful. Tight fit between frame. Fish wires were absolutely life saver.
Straightforward installation. Would be easier with two people but was manageable with a hydraulic jack and some patience. I suspect it will do exactly as I need providing a mounting spot for my plow and for a bike rack. etrailer has always been my go-to spot for things like this.
I was able to install the hitch in my driveway with my wife handing me tools. The most stressful and time consuming part was was getting the hole in the air dam centered and cut cleanly. I used an oscillating saw to cut the plastic hole. I use the hitch to carry a heavy ebike. Works well.
Not the easiest one-person trailer hitch I’ve ever mounted. First I found it wouldn’t fit with my skid plates so removed them and planned on using the spacers but had problems getting them to fit. It took some modifications to the spacers to create slots in the spacers since it seemed impossible to do the tape method shown in the video. Once I got it together, without the spacers, I found out that both sides of the spacers won’t fit. So, I put the spacers on one side and torqued everything to specs. Not the best time I’ve had installing a hitch but it finally worked. Why five star? It’s a good trailer hitch.
I installed this on the front of a 2018 F350. Fit an finish is great. Install was easy and directions simple to follow. Having another set of hands was very helpful, else it would be a balancing act I imagine. No drilling needed except for the cutout in the valence. My use is a cargo basket for four bikes and a kayak rack when pulling my fifth wheel. I have a receiver splitter that allows me to have both the basket and Yak rack mounted at the same time. Load up the toys and go...

Please keep in mind that the hitch has a 500 lb vertical load limit, which means that the hitch receiver tube can safely withstand a total of 500 lbs. This means that the combined weight of everything bearing down on that receiver, the bikes, the cargo tray, the splitter, the upright load bar and half the weight of the kayaks cannot exceed 500 lbs. Youll also want to make sure the splitter youre using has sufficient capacity for what youre asking it to do.
Fit and finish is great ,customer service is even better
Bolt that goes through the super spring pieces and attaches to the bump Stop bracket snapped in half and the pieces were lost on the road. Going to do a warranty claim. The other three seem to be in good condition
The box showed up damaged
The install video is super helpful
Always good company/ vendor to deal with
The hitch is great and everything was as described except there is only one hole in the receiver. There is no 2nd hole for a j-bolt pin as described in the video. This is not really a problem for me as my intended use for the hitch is to mount a bike rack which doesn't need the j-bolt pin.
I only gave it 4 stars because I found the hitch to be harder to install than depicted in the video. Getting the 4 spacers installed was problematic. I only had room to install spacers on one side and even that was tight. Trying to slide the hitch into place with tape holding the spacers as shown in the video did not work for me, as they were pulled off when sliding in. Also, getting tools into the area to work was very difficult. My 1/2" drive ratchet and torque wrench didn't have enough room to work in the space. I just had to get it as tight as I could with a smaller ratchet and that was time consuming since there was limited space to move.
This hitch fit perfectly and is doing a great job. I use it to carry a bike rack when I’m pulling my 5th wheel camper.
Pretty much a strait bolt up job. Trickiest part was cutting the plastic shroud so the hitch could be mounted just below the bumper. I use this hitch when I need exacting placement of trailers and to load extra gear on a hitch hauler on the front of my truck... I love the extra space.
The hitch has worked out well. We hauled two e-bikes several hundred miles with no issues.
easy installation, great fit and sturdy. Thanks!

Glad to hear that! :) Just based of your username, do you use this hitch to maneuver a boat trailer on the ramp?
The Draw-Tite Front Mount Hitch Receiver was a perfect fit on my 2019 F-350. The instructions and the installation video made installation straight forward. It is possible to install in your driveway - just have a couple of 5 gallon buckets handy to support the receiver while you line everything up and move it into place. Also note that if your Ford has bash plates installed on the frame where the receiver is mounted you will NOT need to install the spacers provided with the receiver.
I can't believe how fast e-trailer got my shipment out. I received everything I needed for the install a day before the delivery date. the install was incredibly easy and everything fit perfectly. The hardest part was to figure out where to make the cut through the plastic piece that hangs below the bumper. I am very happy with the results.
Package was damaged and missing the instructions but costumer service helped me and emailed them right away they were great.
The hitch appears to be well made, but the instructions are terrible.
