Hello Steve. The EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH87SR will indeed fit on a 2024 Ford F150. The OEM skid plate will need to be either trimmed or removed. Another thing to watch out for is the auto deploying air dam. If the auto deploying air dam is present, it will need to be permanently removed in order to install the front hitch. Some trimming of the bumper fascia will be required as well. You will find a link to our install video below.

Hey Steve, how did the fit go with the EcoHitch front hitch on your F150 with the skid plate and air dam? It’d be great to hear how the trimming and removal steps worked out. Your update could make it easier for others with the same setup.
