Question:
I want to install a front mount trailer hitch on my 2013 F150 Ford FX. Purpose is to install my Warn multi mount winch. After reviewing the subject products, at least by the pictures, it appears the Drawtite receiver extends further out from the fascia than the Curt product. Is there a size difference between these products?

Expert Reply:
If you look at the instructions I have linked for both the Curt front hitch # C31068 and Draw-Tite version # 65061 you will see that they are both positioned in basically the same place on the 2013 Ford F-150.
Both have 2 inch receivers and are rated for 500 pounds vertical pull and 9,000 pounds line pull. They are also comparable in size.
