EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2"

Video Transcript for Review of EcoHitch Front Receiver Hitch - Custom Fit Hidden Front Mount 2 Inch Receiver - EH39CR

Hi, everybody. Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a real quick look at this EcoHitch custom fit hidden front mounted two inch trailer hitch receiver. Now this hitch has been designed to fit your 2023 and newer Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty. I do wanna point out that this is not going to fit the larger front mounted auxiliary cooler or the diesel models. Just so you're aware of that.

On custom fit parts such as this front mounted hitch, I do recommend taking advantage of our vehicle fit guide here at etrailer.com. Simply input the year, make, and model of your vehicle and our fit guide will confirm if this will work for you or if we have something comparable that will work for you. This two inch front mounted hitch receiver is going to give you an attachment point for your hitch mounted accessories such as a winch, a spare tire carrier, a snow plow, a cargo carrier, and a whole lot more. With this hitch, you won't have to worry about blindly backing your trailer in. You can just hook it up to this front mounted hitch and drive it forward.

Now this does have a line pull of 10,000 pounds and a vertical load or tongue weight of 1,000 pounds and a gross trailer weight of 10,000 pounds. And this features a hidden cross tube that's going to give you a clean, from the factory look. This is designed to be as inconspicuous as possible. The hitch cross tube is going to bolt onto the frame of your truck. So what's great about this is no drilling or welding is gonna be required to install this.

And then once this hitch is installed, only the receiver is going to be visible. This means that your truck can maintain it's stylish from the factory look and you're not gonna have to do any major modifications to with body or frame. As you saw, one of my favorite features is this does include a front license plate bracket, and it does include a pin and clip as well. I'm just gonna slide this in just to show you what this is going to look like. So obviously you'll just slide this in and you'll match up the hitch pin holes here and slide in the pin and clip.

But I do like this feature and again, it just goes to prove that this is really going to be hidden and especially providing that license plate bracket for you. So it's gonna be very easy to slide this in and out. And this is obviously an EcoHitch, so this is composed or constructed rather, of aerospace grade, aluminum, and steel and stainless steel. And in case you did know, each EcoHitch is made of a strong metal alloy which will withstand test of time. The lightweight alloy is composed of recycled materials. Traditional steel hitch manufacturing can use coal or oil, which can contribute to harmful gas emissions, but the EcoHitch's recycled materials are gonna limit the carbon footprint during manufacturing, so you get a sturdy trailer hitch while also helping the environment. This does have a black powder coat finish that's gonna give you superior rust protection. And again, this is gonna be a bolt-on installation. No drilling or welding is required. It includes a complete hardware kit with installation instructions as you can see here to guide you through that installation. And just some points to let you know about the front bumper must be temporarily removed for installation and the plastic bumper insert will need to be separated from the bumper and then trimmed and reattached for installation. And some of our customers have asked for the measurement from the cross tube to the end of the trailer hitch receiver. If I put a tape measure up to this on camera, it's gonna be kind of difficult to show you just because of the angle this is at. But I did measure it before our time together. So from the front of our trailer hitch receiver to the back of our tube here, we're sitting right about eight and three eighths inches long. Of course that pinhole diameter is five eighths of an inch, and this does meet the SAE J 684 towing safety regulations. And with the purchase of this hitch, you will get lifetime support from us here at etrailer.com. Well, I think that's gonna wrap up our look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy, thank you for joining me.
