I would be happy to answer that question for you. The main difference between the Curt Front Hitch Receiver item # C87FR and the Draw-Tite Front Hitch Receiver Item # 65081 is the difficulty in installation. The Curt is way easier to install. You have to remove the front air dam and splitter to install the Draw-Tite. They both have identical capacities with a 9,000 lbs line pull and a 500 lbs vertical load limit. Since the capacities are the same I recommend the Curt item # C87FR based on the installation method. I have attached a picture of the front mount hitch receiver installed.

I attached a picture of how the Curt front hitch part #C31069 will look when installed on a truck like your 2014 Chevy Silverado 1500. The hitch pin hole is right behind the air damn. It is a little hard to see in the picture so I put an arrow on it…

Answer 4

The hitch pin will end up behind the air dam of your 2020 Ford F-250 when you install the Curt hitch part #C31078 on it. Once cut the air dam is very easy to flex so that you can access the hole as needed.

Hey Vicky! Yes, the Meyer HomePlow Residential Hydraulic Snowplow #ME53FR includes the wired pistol grip controller. See the attached picture. You can use the plow on your 2003 Silverado as long as you have a front hitch with a 2" receiver.

Answer 8

Allen, not much at all - it really depends on which HomePlow or WingMan you go with. The Meyer HomePlow #ME28FR comes with a wired auto-angling controller, but it can also run with Meyer’s optional wireless kit if you’d rather skip the cable…

Answer 10

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…
