EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2"
Bolted right up to my 2019 F-250. Looks like it's going to work perfect to haul my E-bike rack. I might have to use a dual receiver hitch to drop the rack down for better visibility while driving. That's to be determined. I'd highly recommend the Eco Hitch!!
Fits 2021 F350 Diesel but with extensive mods to the Plastic Insert. 5 stars for weight ratings and overall build quality. 3 stars for installation hassle bc the plastic insert that needs to be slotted in my case needed to be cut back significantly and bracketry added which took extra time. Wish it came with 2 extra fender washers and a heads-up that the insert might need extra mods and brackets (see below). Did not have to move any coolers or cooling lines. 4 stars overall. Notes from the install. 1. Marked bumper brackets and supports to know exactly where it was installed by the factory. (Mine was off-center left/right by 1/4 inch so I centered it before cutting the slot in the plastic insert.) 2. Consider building some stands to help with the bumper removal/install and hitch install. Made a simple stand low enough to support the bumper and added blocks to install the hitch. (Also removed the front skirt before bumper removal.) 3. As other reviewers stated, had to shim one side of the hitch with 2 of the supplied fender washers as it was narrow by that amount. Had to purchase 2 additional fender washers. 4. Since other reviewers mentioned the slotting instructions needed improvement, more or less reviewed those and took them as recommendations. After hitch installation, test fit the bumper without the plastic insert. Then measured to the hitch. Then removed the bumper, installed the insert, and transferred the measurements to the plastic insert. 5. Found out during test fit after the slot was cut that the lower, back of the slotted insert had to be completely cut-off to fit. The insert needed to be flexed under the hitch so that the bumper to go back to the original position (see picture with notes). That flex would then warp the visible part of the plastic insert. Therefore, the section interfering was completely removed. Installed some brackets to support the lower section. The brackets proved to work well. That the hitch is stout, up high, and hidden is a plus. Will have to build or purchase a hitch adapter to drop the hitch about 7 inches for one of my uses but don't mind doing that. I recommend this hitch but keep in mind you might have the same installation challenges.
