The length from the inside of one mounting bracket to the other is 27" on the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 31540. Distance from mounting holes center to center is 30" and the mounting plate thickness is 5/16". Refer to the diagram attached below. This hitch is designed to fit 2004 - 2005 Ford Explorers and 2002 - 2003 Ford 4-Door Explorers. If you have a different vehicle, let me know and I can find a hitch that is confirmed to fit your vehicle.

We do have a hitch available for your 1988 Mitsubishi Montero, but we do not have any front-mount hitches available. I contacted Curt to check if there were any front-mount options available, and they confirmed they do not make one. If you are okay with a rear-mounted hitch, we do have the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12181 that is confirmed to fit your vehicle. This is a Class II hitch with a 1-1/4" receiver with a gross trailer weight rating of 3,500 lbs and a tongue weight rating of 300 lbs.

No, there are not. The aftermarket hitches, like the etrailer item #e55KR, all mount below the original location of the factory hitch on your 2005 Ford Explorer XLT. I have attached a picture below to show you what it will look like once installed. I…

The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver #33055 that you referenced fits Ford Vans (up to an E-350), but since your Chateau is on a 2000 Ford E-450 you would need to go with the Draw-Tite #65001. Installation instructions and a photo showing the…
