Relatively easy install. you can save yourself some time by taking off the plastic cover and tow hooks in advance of receiving your hitch. Using this to help move a ski boat up a boat ramp driveway at home.

I received my receiver hitch within 2 days of ordering, is the the good news. The bad news, it was missing all the hardware and assembly instructions. I contacted etrailer the following day expressing my concern, and was told it would be approximately 2 weeks for receiving replacements. I asked to speak to supervisor with hope getting my hardware in time for my vacation to mount a bicycle rack, which was also purcased from etrailer a few weeks ago.
She expressed that the manufacturer will need to send the items and it was basically out of e-trailers hands, and she will forward me a tracking number when available. I'm going to purchase all the replacement hardware needed to complete the install, so I can use it on my trip.

Lock washers that came with the kit didn't fit. Came with 4 extra bolts for some reason. I ended up having to buy lock washers to finish the project.

Fits as it should.

Fits a 2011 ram 3500. Installation instructions says it fits 2012 and up.

2014 Ram 2500

Fit perfectly as advertised. Did not need to remove grill or anything else. Just removed tow hooks and installed hitch. Could not be more happy.



by:

Perfect hitch for those needing a rack for extra space. I used a heavy duty vinyl bag to enclose my tools, cords and generator on my 12k mile trip to alaska. The held that 500lbs extremely well across the permafrost damaged Alaskan highway! No twists, no bends and no worries!

Looks great



by:

Fairly easy to install, much easier with 2 people. Did the job intended of carrying a small motorcycle securely across the country.

I first contacted etrailer and received great customer service. They answered all my questions and gave me a few suggestions base on my needs. I ordered two items from etrailer, Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver (306-X7900) and Winch Mounting Plate (6495). Upon arrival one item was missing and once again contacted etrailer and got it resolved. GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. My missing item arrived within a few days.
The hitch received is great. The welds are fantastic and it looks even better on. I ended up spray-painting the bolts before installing to blend in with hooks/truck. Made it easier just to do a small touch up and not worry about the over spray.



by:

Fairly easy to install and is solid! Has been great being able to carry 2 of our 4 Lectric bikes on the front while having the Fifth-Wheel!

Although, I have seen a lot of reviews stating poor packaging and this is the case here too! Almost lost hardware as box was not strong enough to hold the heavy items... etrailer, you guys are amazing and have been the only place to go for any trailer needs.... You need to fix this poor packaging issue.



by:

Great hitch and perfect fit. Attaching the inboard bolts is tricky. You’ll need an articulating ratchet with low profile socket or wrench to hold the nut while you unthread/thread and torque. Other than that, it’s very straight forward. A second set of hands is a big help too. Highly recommended!

It’s been a year and the hitch still functions and looks as if it were new. Great product for any accessory needs. Does not work well on my vehicle with a bike rack. The bikes sit far too high and block the drivers view. That isn’t necessarily the fault of the hitch. Highly recommend!



by:

The product was great. The bolts needed to be better. It was easy to mess the heads up with a deep impact socket. The original bolts are much better product.



by:

This is a well made and very durable hitch. We bought it to be able carry our canoe on our pickup while also pulling our fifth wheel. It works well. The canoe is carried quite a ways to the front to allow the fifth wheel to move around as needed. We did have some trouble with installation due to irregular dimensions on the truck. Here is where etrailer really shines, they made another one for us adjusted to our goofy specs. I have nothing but good to say about their marvelous customer service. We got the new one on and now we can take our canoe along anywhere. These guys are great.

Solid! Not easy to install. It holds my scooter rack.

2017 Ram 2500

Fast delivery, good videos, easy installation and good instructions. I watched the video prior to delivery and had the truck ready. Did not need to remove the grill and was able to access everything under the truck. Removal of the lower grill was easy. I installed it myself in 30 mins.

@Timothy Great to hear. Thank you for the update.

Works great with the bike rack. Looks nice, easy installation. I'm glad I bought it. I would recommend.



by:

Fit nice. I haven't used it to move a trailer yet. I didn't have tow hooks and the factory ones are high so I paid the extra to get the hitch instead.



by:

The product itself is great. One star deducted because 1) the wrong installation manual was provided. Credit to etrailer because once I notified them, they sent me the correct one within 24 hours. 2) A tremendously oversized box was used for shipping. Consequently , the item which is heavy as you would expect shifted during shipping and caused a huge hole in the box. Fortunately, the bolts were bagged and taped well to the item but this does give a slight passibility that the bolts could be lost in shipping.

The front receiver was easy to install and looks great on my Ram 2500. I received the front receiver in a timely manor.

  • Is There a Front Mount Receiver That Fits in Bumper On 2021 Ram 2500 Like Previous Generation Trucks
    Unfortunately, EcoHitch had to change the design of the Front Hitch # EH37FR which fits your 2021 Ram 2500 due to Ram moving the front radar sensors inside the panel where the Hitch # 306-X7900 you found fit on the previous generation trucks.

  • Best Front Hitch for 2016 Ram 2500 to Carry Motorcycle Carrier
    For carrying a motorcycle that could potentially block your view of the road when travelling I would go with the lower mounted Curt part # C31015 for your 2016 Ram 2500 4x4. The other options mount up higher in the grille which is going to significantly block your view of the road in front of you.

  • Front Mount Hitch Option For 1986 GMC C/K Series 2500 Pickup
    Hey Dan, thanks for reaching out. I do have an option for you, but there are no custom fit front hitches for the 1986 GMC C/K Series pickup. The only option is to use a universal hitch like the Draw-Tite # 41990-07. This is a Class V universal weld-on hitch. It includes 7" brackets, but if you need taller brackets the # 41990-16 with 16" brackets is also available. Both come with a 44" crosstube. The brackets can be adjusted to fit most any frame 44" wide or less. Your best bet will be...

  • Can EcoHitch Front Mount Receiver be Used to Carry Two Motorcycles on 2017 Ram 3500
    Technically, yes. The EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7900 is rated for 700 pounds vertical load. So, as long as the combined weight of your two motorcycles and carrier do not exceed that, and your driving visibility and/or truck lights aren't blocked, it will work. I recommend double checking the capacity for the front axle on your 2017 Ram 3500 to make sure you're not overloading it. This information can be found on a label in the driver's side door jamb.

  • Aluminum 15 inch Wheels that Could be Used on 2021 Grand Design Imagine Travel Trailer
    So I wasn't able to find any decent pictures of your 2021 Grand Design Imagine wheels so I don't know for sure what would be an exact match but I did attach all of the aluminum wheels we carry that are 15 inch diameter for you to check out. You can email me back with a picture of your wheel and tire size and I can let you know what would match the best.

  • Front Mount Hitch For A 2016 Ram 1500 4x4 Quad Cab
    The only front hitch that we offer for your 2016 Ram 1500 Is the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 31374, which does install directly below the bumper. The Hidden Hitch # 306-X7900 you mentioned will only fit 2500 and 3500 models of the 2016 Ram. Unfortunately we do not offer a hidden hitch for your 1500.

  • Where Does EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Hitch # 306-X7900 Install on 2018 Ram 2500
    The 2 inch receiver for the EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch # 306-X7900 referenced in your question will actually protrude through the grille of your truck. This allows for a really clean appearance while also maintaining your existing ground clearance. I have attached an image of the hitch installed that you can take a look at as well. If present the factory tow hooks will need to be removed during installation. This front mount hitch features a 7500 pound line pull rating...

  • Can Tow Hooks On 2018 Ram 2500 Be Reused After Installing EcoHitch Front Mount Hitch 306-X7900?
    You are correct that if your 2018 Ram 2500 has the factory tow hooks, they will need to be removed to install the EcoHitch Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7900 but they will not be able to be reinstalled. With that said the # 306-X7900 has built in tow hooks as shown in the included picture to replace the factory tow hooks, as the hitch takes up the space that the tow hooks were installed.

  • Why Are Line Pull and Trailer Weight Ratings Different for 2017 Ram 3500 Front Mount EcoHitch
    I completely understand and agree with your logic here, but according to EcoHitch the Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7900 for your 2017 Ram 3500 has a 750 lb tongue weight, 7,500 lb line pull rating, and a 10,000 lb gross trailer weight rating. What I read that as is a winch situation can handle 7,500 lbs but when the weight of the truck is behind the movement it can handle 10,000 lbs. That still means the tongue weight can't be over 750 lbs though so you'll have to be...

  • Recommended Front Receiver For a 2014 Ram 2500 For Adding a Snow Plow
    The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31015 is the better option for use with a snow plow on your 2014 Ram 2500. The receiver is lower on truck giving it a better angle, where the EcoHitch # 306-X7900 would place the snow plow at a sharp downward angle. I recommend the Detail K2 Elite Snowplow # K2AVAL8826ELT for your Ram. This plow uses an electric actuator to raise and lower the blade so you will not have to worry about straps or ropes breaking with a winch type plow. You will...

  • Most Hidden Front Mount Hitch for my 2014 Ram 1500 Sport
    We have a great front mount hitch available for your 2014 Ram 1500 but unfortunately the EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7900 is only designed to fit the 2500 and 3500 models. Instead I recommend the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 65062 it will sit lower than where the EcoHitch does on the 2500/3500 models. I have included a photo of both the EcoHitch and the Draw-Tite models and an installation video we did on a 2011 Ram 1500.

  • Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2020 Ram 2500 Diesel With Parking Sensors
    You will need the EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH37FR for your 2020 Ram 2500 Diesel with the parking sensors. The EcoHitch # 306-X7900 only fit up to the 2010-2018 model years. This hitch will included a license plate bracket if your state requires you to always have a front license plate visible at all times. Otherwise I like using the WeatherTech BumpStepXL # WT81BS1XL as it will protect the bumper and makes accessing under the hood much easier.

  • Is Frame Mounted Snow Plow Compatible With EcoHitch Front Hitch on 2021 Ram 2500
    Without knowing where the snow plow would mount I can't say for sure. More than likely the # EH37FR mounts in the same location or would interfere with a snow plow that bolts onto the frame. I would compare the installation instructions for both to see if they will work together. If not, you could use a hitch mounted snow plow like the # K2AVAL8826ELT instead.

  • EcoHitch vs DrawTite Front Hitch for 2018 Ram 2500
    EcoHitches like # 306-X7900 are typically a more expensive brand than others like Draw Tite. This is mostly due to fact they are Made in the USA and only made from recycled materials (hence the name) which adds a bit of cost. They typically have better designs or are more hidden than other manufacturers. Sometimes though they are essentially same design as other brands so it doesn't make as much sense to go with them. But in your situation where you prefer the EcoHitch design it's the way...

Since the Curt # C31071, and Draw-Tite # 65078 that are confirmed to fit your friends Sierra only have a vertical load rating of 500lbs, the only option is to have a universal hitch like the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch Receiver # 41990-07 fit by a qualified...

    I have a solution for you but the EcoHitch Hidden Front Trailer Hitch item # 306-X7900 doesn't fit the 2021 Ram 2500. Its last year was the 2018 Rams. Instead you will want the EcoHitch item # EH37FR. This fits both the gas and diesel models of the 2021 Ram 2500. It mounts below your front grill instead of inside it by the tow hooks. There are no options for the 2021 model year that mount inside the grill and replace the tow hooks. I have linked an installation video below.

The Rhino-Rack Reconn-Deck Truck Bed Rack # RR33SP will only sit 11" above your bed rails and have to attach to the Ram factory utility tracks. I recommend the Yakima Hitch Mounted Load Bar # Y01149-1150 be used with the Thule SquareBar Evo Crossbars # TH712500.

  • Will The EcoHitch Front Receiver Fit a 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon With Factory Winch?
    Due to the winch's fairlead being built into the main winch mount on your 2017 Ram 2500 Power Wagon it appears the only front mounted receiver you can use is the Curt # C31015 since it will mount below the bumper. The EcoHitch # 306-X7900 would hit on the support for the rollers of the fairlead and since they are part of the main mount you would have to remove everything for it to fit. I have included an image of the Curt on a Power Wagon so you can see how it will look.

    The best ground clearance front hitch we offer for your 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 is the Curt # C31017 which installs through the front air dam which means it doesn't take away any ground clearance. We don't have one that installs up higher than this though.
