Product was received in very good condition and quick. It took me about an hour from the time I put it on the ramps till I backed off with the factory tow hooks removed and the new hitch installed. Fit was as good as anyone could want.

I dont use it that often but when I do it sure is handy. You can put a trailer in a very tight place real easy.

This front hitch is still going strong. I just purchased another for my F150.



by:
2005 Ford Edge

Great product, just as described, fit perfectly. Receiver could have come forward another 3 - 4 inches (does not come to front edge of bumper). Got an extension and it works perfect for the winch mount and winch. Cables on back of winch would not allow hitch to go into receiver to fasten with pin until I got the extension.

Still great

Direct fit. No modifications necessary. The bdw20155 bulldog winch receiver goes right in without hitting the bumper. Super easy to install.



by:

Hitch arrived as advertised. It seems heavy duty and well made. Installed in about 1hr. I bought it for snow plow and maybe a winch later on for my 2007 Dakota.



by:

They were excellent with communication. It was delivered when they said it would be. The front end receiver was the correct one for my truck and Installed quickly.
I would highly recommend.

Perfect FitAfter I got the front tow hooks off my 06 Dakota, this front hitch went on with ease. It has the best powder coat I have seen in a long time.

  • Can the Westin Sportman Grille Guard Support a Winch on a 2005 Dodge Dakota
    I spoke with my contact at Westin about the Sportsman Grille Guard, # 40-1665, for your 2005 Dodge Dakota. he stated that while the grille guard can support aftermarket lights, it is not designed to support a winch or for winching applications. What you could do to mount a winch at the front of your Dakota is to install a front mount hitch # 31228, and then a hitch mounted winch plate like # BDW20011. I have included a link to the winch plates we carry below as well as a link to the installation...

  • Where Does The Curt Front Mount Hitch Sit on a 2005 Dodge Dakota
    We have not yet had a chance to install the Curt front mount hitch part # 31228 on a 2005 Dodge Dakota, however if you take a look at the attached photo from a customer you can see where the hitch sits on their Dodge Dakota and compare it to your vehicle. The hitch installs to the bumper studs as you can see in the attached installation instructions.

  • Front Hitch and High Capacity Winch Recommendation for 2007 Dodge Dakota
    You'd need to have a front hitch installed on your 2007 Dodge Dakota like the Curt part # 31228 so that you could use the hitch plate part # BDW20011 that you referenced with a 10k winch. Then for a winch you'd want the # CU859112. I know you said you wanted a 10k winch but the front hitch for your truck is only rated for 9,000 lbs like this Superwinch.
