Front Hitch Recommendation for 2003 Ford F-350 That Does Not Hang Below Front Bumper

Question

Question:

Does any company make a front receiver hitch to fit a 2003 Ford F350 CC 4X4 that mounts above the bumper? I had one on a 2003 and prefer the location of the receiver. I really do not want one that mounts below the bumper. Thanks.

For your 2003 Ford F-350 Cab and Chassis (or Crew Cab) the Draw Tite hitch part # 65022 is a confirmed fit. It installs in the middle of the bumper. If you check out the picture I attached you will see exactly where it installs.

All of the front hitch receivers available for your F-350 have a 500 pound vertical load/tongue weight limit. Unfortunately we don't have anything that can safely support the 600 pound tongue weight coming from your boat.

Not all of the 2000's F-250's have the blocker beam. If your front end has the blocker beam behind the front bumper and the leaf springs mounted on the inside of the frame rails then you would use the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver,…
