Recommended Front Hitch For A 2022 Ford F-350 With Very Limited Space In A Garage

Updated 10/15/2026 | Published 10/13/2026

Question:

I have 2022 F350 Super Duty Lariat FX4 off road SRW. Which model fits my truck and does the front of the receiver extend past the bumper or tow hooks? I only have 1” clearance in my garage and the receiver can not stick out further than tow hooks,, thank you

Hi Scott!

If clearance is an issue with your 2022 Ford F-350 Lariat FX4 SRW, I highly recommend going with the EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 306-X7904. This is going to be your best option and I included an image of this hitch installed that shows where it will sit once installed.

You can see that it will not be anywhere near the end of the tow hooks and is actually pretty well hidden once it's installed. I do have to mention that this is not intended for models with an auxiliary cooler though, so let me know if you have that and I can make a different recommendation.

What are you wanting to use a front hitch for?

Nope, doesn't stick out at all, its probably about 3"4" inside the bumper. Its definitely taller than the rear hitch. I bought mine to push my boat up an incline on the side of my house and have to use two different height receivers. Its a great hitch, and I was able to install it by myself

Mine is a 2017 F350. Installed it myself and it doesn't protrude past the bumper or tow hooks.

Yep...Does not extend past the bumper. Mine is on a 2020 F350 and is about 2" recessed.

If nothing is in hitch, it will not stick out past truck

The EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Receiver connected easily to my 2019 F-250 truck. I have a gas engine so extra routing of oil cooler lines was not needed, however they do include the parts to do so for diesel trucks. The package also included a front license plate holder for those who need to use a front plate. This hitch receiver has made it super easy for me to move my boat up my curvy driveway. The receiver can also be used for a snow plow blade, but I don't need that here in NC.

Receiver does not stick out. Only need to cut some plastic to make it fit. Mounting holes already exist in truck frame and are easy to reach. Tried to post pictures for you but couldn't figure out how to do so.
