Question:

Can I use the Curt 31068 front mounted hitch from my old 2014 f150 on 2019 f150? Also is there a compatible front mount hitch brush guard combination? Thanks

I have a solution for you to mount a front hitch on your 2019 Ford F-150, but the answer to both of your questions is - no. The # C31068 is not compatible on the 2019 Ford F-150; additionally, front hitches and brush guards/grille guards typically use the same mounting points on the vehicle frame. For these reasons you're not going to be able to mount the # C31068 and a brush guard on your 2019 Ford F-150.

In order to add a front hitch to your 2019 Ford F-150 I recommend using the Curt # C31083 since we've found that the powder coating on Curt hitches is a bit thicker, which provides better protection from scratches and ultimately helps prolong the life of the hitch. This front hitch will provide you with a 2" receiver at the front of your truck and has a 9000-lbs line pull rating.
