Does EcoHitch Front Hitch 306-X7904 Require Moving The Transmission Cooler?

Question

Question:

I am interested in Code 306-X7904 for my 2022 Ford F350. Theres a note about it not being compatible with an Auxiliary Cooler. Does this mean a transmission cooler? How can I verify I dont have an auxiliary cooler that would make this incompatible?

Hello Joel. Installing the EcoHitch Front Hitch # 306-X7904 does require relocating the transmission cooler. The hitch comes with brackets for relocating the cooler. You don't need to move it much though, so you'll just be moving it up a bit to allow the hitch to fit.

This hitch will fit as long as your truck is not a dually model. The dually models have an aux cooler that obstructs the hitch. Those models should use part # EH83GR instead.

Hey Joel, how did things go with the EcoHitch front hitch on your F350? Did the cooler relocation go smoothly with the included brackets? Your feedback could really help others working on the same setup.

@JesseM No relocation was needed. Things went well afaik. I’ve used it to plow snow several times now.

I don't believe we have had an install video for that hitch. I did some checking could not find anything. We have an install video for the Curt Hitch part #C31078 that fits your 2022 Ford F-350 which I attached to this page.
