Question:

I am looking for a front hitch for my 2012 Ford F250 2 wheel drive truck. Your site calls for the Curt 31018. I went to the Curt site and it shows 31018 fits the 4x4 only and does not show one for the 2012 2x4. I was on another site and it called for the Curt 31008, but the Curt site shows it fits 2008 to 2010. Which hitch say that 10 times fast fits my truck?

When I enter your 2012 Ford F-250 into our fit guide and then select front mount hitches and choose 2 wheel drive from the drop down menu the only front mount hitch that comes up is # 65049. I included a screenshot of the results page. I also verified this with Draw-Tite.

Like you said the Curt hitch # C31018 is designed for 4 wheel drive models. And # C31008 is for 2008 to 2010 like you said so that other site is not correct.

For your 2 wheel drive 2012 Ford F-250, you want front mount hitch # 65049. I have included a link to the installation instructions and a link to a video showing a typical installation for you.
