The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 31352 is not a fit for the 2 wheel drive 2003 Ford Expedition. It will only fit the 4x4 model. I called to confirm with my Tech contact at Curt and he said the mounting isn't the same because the bumper is different and the tow hooks are required.

Unfortunately we do not have a front hitch fit for a 2WD 2003 Ford Expedition currently available from any of our manufacturers. The best option is to use something like the Curt Adjustable Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13701 and do some custom modifications for fit.
