Question:

Good morning I have a 2023 f350 DRW truck that I haul my fifth wheel with. I’m looking to add a front hitch to the truck to carry a dirt bike. What would you recommend and how hard is it to install

Expert Reply:

For a front hitch for your 2023 Ford F-350 dually I recommend the Draw-Tite # 65076. This is going to be the only front hitch we offer that will fit the DRW models. This has a 2" receiver and a 500 lb vertical load limit.

As far as installation, it will be a no-drill install. There will be a plastic panel under the bumper that will have to be cut, or permanently removed. Overall it is not too bad. If this is your first time doing a hitch it may take you around an hour. It will help to have an extra pair of hands to help raise the hitch into position. We most recently installed this hitch on a 2018 F-350. I have linked our install video below if you want to take a closer look at the process. You will find the manufacturer instructions liked below as well.

If you are in need of a carrier for your dirt bike I suggest the Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier # UF48-979033. I like this one mainly because it has a ramp for easy loading and unloading. This carrier also has a 500 lb capacity.
