Will Moving Cooler To Install EcoHitch Front Mount Hitch 306-X7904 On 2017 Ford F-250 Cause Issues?

Question:

I have a 2019 F-250 6.7L diesel. Im wondering if anyone has reported any issues with the performance of the oil cooler after it is moved using the brackets for the # 306-X7904 hitch. The fact that the cooler has some non-flexible steel hose connected to it concerns me a bit.

I reached out to EcoHitch and they have not had any report issues when moving the cooler on a 2019 Ford F-250 to install the EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 306-X7904.

The included brackets do not move the cooler much, as they were designed to work with the hard lines without causing damage, and just space the cooler slightly away from the frame.

The # 306-X7904 is the best option for a front mount hitch for your F-250 due to it installing behind the license plate which gives it quite a bit more ground clearance than the other options for your truck.

I included a picture of the # 306-X7904 installed on a customers F-250 for you to take a look at.
