Question:

I have a 2016 F250 with a Western plow mount. Will your ecohitch be able to mount on this truck with the Western plow mount?

Expert Reply:

It entirely depends on which plow mount you have and where it installs. What I can tell you is the EcoHitch Front Hitch item # EH59FR that fits your 2016 Ford F-250 mounts between your front tow hooks. The brackets do attach to the side and bottom of your F-250's frame so if you have any plow mount brackets there this most likely will not be compatible.

I have linked an installation video below so you can see what I am talking about and compare it to your set up.

If you haven't already purchased your plow mount, you can install the EchoHitch item # EH59FR and use a snow plow like the Detail K2 Elite Snowplow for 2" Hitches item # K2AVAL8826ELT.

Hey, how did things turn out with the EcoHitch on your F-250 and the Western plow mount? Were you able to compare the mounting points and see if they lined up? Your update could make it easier for others trying to use both setups.

@JerredH The hitch needs to bolt into the same holes as the Western Ultra plow mount. I had made a receiver adapter that utilizes the existing plow mounts with a 2x2 receiver on it so no need for the trailer hitch now.
