Draw-Tite Tested Tough
Draw-Tite's Tested Tough program provides testing standards far superior to those outlined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the go-to source for engineering professionals.
Each Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver undergoes extensive fatigue testing and static testing with the ball mount that is either supplied or recommended for use with that particular hitch, thus ensuring results that are applicable to real life use. Fatigue testing is also conducted on hitches rated for use with weight-distribution systems.
In addition, Draw-Tite performs static testing on a simulated automobile, as opposed to the rigid fixture used for SAE testing, resulting in a more true-to-life scenario.

2018 Ford F-350 Super Duty
I installed this on the front of a 2018 F350. Fit an finish is great. Install was easy and directions simple to follow. Having another set of hands was very helpful, else it would be a balancing act I imagine. No drilling needed except for the cutout in the valence. My use is a cargo basket for four bikes and a kayak rack when pulling my fifth wheel. I have a receiver splitter that allows me to have both the basket and Yak rack mounted at the same time. Load up the toys and go...

After a year, I don’t know how I survived without this thing. I have had bikes, crates, and a motorcycle on my front hitch and it performed perfectly. I wish I could give it more stars.

2023 Ford F-250 Super Duty
A tight fit with the bash plates on my 2023 Ford F250. I also cut a 3 inch square air dam hole instead of 3 1/2. But had to extend the top of the hole due to the slope of the dam. The hitch pin hole barely clears the air dam. The hitch pin clip will rub on the air dam.

Welds appear well done, haven't installed yet. Delivery super fast, I was expecting a week and it was 3 days total. Only plan on using this to put a heavy duty bike rack.

Shows up with nuts and bolts sitting on the ground and was told tracking number is not applicable for a damage claim. How do I know it’s all there for install until I get started?

I will have Customer Service reach out to regarding the damage and possible missing parts.
by: Bobby G09/16/2023
Went on easier than I thought. Had to use two hands and a knee to put it up there. No need to cut your air dam as you just cut the hole small and use a big square file to adjust the dam hole. LOL. Shipping was great just a couple of scratches on the hitch but it’s hidden. Can’t wait to go camping and mount the generator on the front rack. Thanks Carl and your team for the hitch.
by: Wallace B05/13/2020
Pretty much a strait bolt up job. Trickiest part was cutting the plastic shroud so the hitch could be mounted just below the bumper. I use this hitch when I need exacting placement of trailers and to load extra gear on a hitch hauler on the front of my truck... I love the extra space.
by: Darcy 11/02/2023
Exactly what i was hoping for. High quality product with easy to follow instructions and was very easy for me to install. Looks and works great. Thank you!
by: GPIC232312/06/2020
Service and shipment was excellent and very much appreciated. Install was less than two hours in the driveway. Other videos were right about directions making the hole to large but other than that fairly simple install. Looking forward to putting it to use!

2019 Ford F-350 Super Duty
The Draw-Tite Front Mount Hitch Receiver was a perfect fit on my 2019 F-350. The instructions and the installation video made installation straight forward. It is possible to install in your driveway - just have a couple of 5 gallon buckets handy to support the receiver while you line everything up and move it into place. Also note that if your Ford has bash plates installed on the frame where the receiver is mounted you will NOT need to install the spacers provided with the receiver.

2020 Ford F-250 Super Duty
As my normal experience with etrailer, shipping was fast and communication was great. Even an email to customer service I sent on Sunday morning, expecting an answer from someone Monday, was actually answered later that day. As with previous hitches I have ordered from etrailer the hardware was securely taped to the hitch itself - a good idea considering the boxes almost always show some damage from the delivery process. The hitch appears well made and fit as it should. The installation video on the etrailer website was very helpful (note the presenter calls it a Curt hitch, but the Draw-tite part number is displayed.) I did find it easier to wait until after the hitch was held in place with the lower fasteners before I ran the fish wires for the other two on each side. This was installed on a 2020 F250 and the skid plates (aka compatibility brackets, "Prius catchers") were left in place. Spacers were included to allow for brackets not being present.

2017 Ford F-450 Super Duty
I mounted this on my F450 the day I received it. Although some of the details from your instructional install video varied for my vehicle, the advice to remove the bumper was spot-on. I thought it might be a lot of trouble to do so, but it was simple, and it allowed me easy access. I did not even have to use the wires to fish the bolts through. This receiver will be used for a big bed extender (goal post) in conjunction with a single roof rail to haul our kayaks while towing our 5th wheel. We’ve used this setup on our previous truck, an F250, for 4 years and can’t stand the thought of leaving the kayaks at home. Next up, figuring out the rail for the roof.

Received the hitch on time. Actually a day before the scheduled delivery day. UPS always delivers and the drivers are great! Installation was easy once I I figured out how to use the fish wires. It is installed and I use it with a bicycle rack, luggage basket, and pushing a hay wagon into the barn is so simple rather than backing.

2019 Ford F-150
I have always wanted a front hitch. While buying a new 2019 F-250 i found etrailer ordered my first front hitch. 25 minute easy install. Did not realize how much i would use it. I find moving my 30ft boat around at the house, the front hitch is the best way. A friend bought a new boat. We both tryed to parkin the spot he wanted it with his truck. Could not get it in. I hooked up to the boat with my front hitch and one shot it was in. He now has a etrailer front hitch on his F-150. We both love the front hitch.

- Hitch Extension For A Ford F-250 Hauling 5 Bikes, Cargo Carrier, Generator, Gas, and In-Bed-CamperFor your 2018 Ford F-250 coupled with a lance 825 truck camper and wanting to carry 5 bikes and a cargo carrier is going to depend on a few factors. Most cargo carriers have a weight capacity of 500lbs. 5 bike bike racks range in weight capacity from 100lbs to 225lbs. So depending on what receiver and size you have and the truck, the tongue weight of the extension can range from 300lbs to 750lbs without weight distribution. I recommend using a TorkLift SuperTruss Item # TLE1548. This extension...
view full answer... - Front Mount Hitch Receiver Recommendation for a 2018 Ford F-250 Super DutyThe crosstube on the Draw-Tite # 65076 and Curt # C31078 front hitch receivers for your 2018 Ford F-250 Super Duty are at different locations than the mounting brackets connected to them. To really determine where the hitch pin hole will be we need to measure where it's at in relation to a corresponding mounting bolt hole. For your application you'll want to go with the Draw-Tite hitch which has the hitch pin hole 4-1/2" in front of the forwardmost mounting hole (see attached). I wasn't...

- How to Carry 2 E-bikes on the Front of a 2020 Ford F-450We have everything you need to put a 2 e-bike rack on the front of your 2020 Ford F-450. You can use the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65076 which will provide you with a front hitch on your F-450 with a 2" receiver opening. This is the most common size used for hitch mounted accessories like a bike rack. I would then recommend the Swagman E-Spec Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # S94FR which can carry 2 bikes weighing up to 70 lbs. per bike and tires up to 3" wide.
view full answer... - Comparing Curt and Draw-Tite Front Mount Hitch Receivers for a 2018 Ford F-250 Super DutyIt looks like the hitch pin hole on the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31078 will stick behind and/or below the fascia while the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65076 will stick out far enough to easily reach the hitch pin hole. The ultimate deciding factor is how you want it to look though. If you'd rather have more of a hidden receiver and you don't mind possibly having to reach behind the fascia to secure accessories then the Curt is the way to go, but if...
view full answer... - Front Mounted Receiver Hitch for 2018 Ford F250 DieselThe EcoHitch # 306-X7904 you referred to does indeed have a 1000 lb vertical load capacity, in the past, the hitch was not compatible with Diesel models due to interference from the transmission cooler and its supply and return lines, however the design has been slightly changed and now it will work. Curt offers the # C31078 and Draw-Tite has the # 65076, but the vertical load capacity on both of those is 500 lbs.
view full answer... - Will the EcoHitch Front Hitch Fit a 2021 Ford F-250 with Adaptive Cruise ControlI can confirm that both the Draw-Tite # 65076 and Curt # C31078 front hitches are fully compatible with the adaptive cruise control on the 2021 Ford F-250; we have not confirmed that this is also the case with the EcoHitch # 306-X7904. Judging from what I've seen with some other folks that have installed this it looks like the adaptive cruise control sensor installs over the front hitch, so you should not have any issues. I've also attached a photo to show how it mounts.

- Comparing Draw Tite and Curt Front Hitch for 2020 Ford F-250We have two really great front hitches that fit your 2020 Ford F-250 with the Draw Tite part # 65076 and the Curt # C31078. The big differences are that the Draw Tite will stick out past the air dam a bit more than the Curt. Also the Curt is made in the USA. I attached a picture that shows where the Curt installs relative to the air dam. I would go with the Curt for the reasons mentioned unless the accessory you plan to install in the front hitch has a shorter shank.

- Does the Air Dam on a 2021 Ford F-350 Need to Be Reattached After Installing Draw Tite Front HitchYes you do not need to put the air dam back on after you install the Draw Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65076, Bob. If you do want to reattach it, you'll need to trim it following the guide in the instructions.

While I couldn't find an exact measurement from the front edge of the receiver tube opening to the cross bar on the hitch it is almost 7". I have included the installation video below to give you an idea of the room it will take up there in the front end.

- Recommended Front Hitch Receiver For 2017 Ford F-350Yes we do have front mount receivers for your 2017 Ford F-350. I recommend the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver 2" # 65076. This is a custom fit for your truck and has and easy bolt on installation. It will require trimming of the plastic air deflector or its removal to install this hitch.

My suggestion is to consider the Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly with Chain Drive with 2" Hitch Ball, # TVXL2 or if needed, 2-5/16" ball in # TVXL25. This heavy-duty dolly with integrated drive will help you maneuver your trailer into...
view full answer... - Front Hitch Options For 2019 Ford F-350Yes we do! There are two different types of options you have. The Draw-Tite Option # 65076 is going to be a bit more visible compared to the EcoHitch # 306-X7904 hidden hitch option. I've included a video on the Draw-Tite option but we do not have a video on the EcoHitch option if that helps you pick.

The Kuat Sherpa 2.0 # SH22G measures 7-1/2" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest part of the rack when it's folded up which, according to my information, will still be plenty of room in regards to the location of a front mount hitch. If you don't already have a front mount hitch on your 2021 Ford F-350 Super Duty I recommend going with the Draw-Tite # 65076. This requires you to cut a hole in the front fascia but this means you won't be losing any ground...
view full answer... - Why Does Fascia Need to be Trimmed To Install Draw-Tite Front Hitch on 2020 Ford F-250The 2" receiver for the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch # 65076 is designed to actually protrude through the lower plastic air deflector/fascia when mounted (see attached image), so a portion of the fascia can be trimmed to allow this. This is a great design because it maintains the existing ground clearance on the truck. If you don't feel like trimming the fascia though it's also perfectly fine to simply remove the air deflector and keep it off for good after the hitch is in place....

This will get you set up with all of the correct spacers, bolts, and the fish wire you will need to get the Draw-Tite item # 65076 installed on your vehicle. This hardware will be the same grade that comes with the hitch when you buy it brand new. You will need to input 65076 where it asks for Hitch Item Number above the add to cart option.

This receiver is capable of supporting up to 500lbs of vertical load for your bike rack. The Draw-Tite QSP Trailer Hitch Silencer and Cover # 63080 can help you eliminate the rattle with your bike rack installed while also providing a cover to reduce the chance of a whistle caused by the receiver when driving at highway speeds.

view full answer... - Front Mounted Receiver Fit for 2021 Ford F-350 Super-Duty PickupAccording to Torklift, their # 306-X7904 EcoHitch front mounted receiver fits all models of the 2021 Ford F350, including Dual Rear Wheel models. The Curt # C31078 and Draw-Tite # 65076 fits single rear wheel models only, and are quite a bit less expensive than the EcoHitch model. If you have a single rear wheel model, I'd recommend the Curt # C31078 because the hitch is manufactured in the US and because Curt does a slightly nicer job with their powder coat finish in my opinion.

This hitch has a 500-lbs capacity, which is fairly standard for a front mounted hitch and has a 2" receiver so it will allow you to carry a motorcycle carrier like the etrailer Motorcycle Carrier w/ Ramp for 2" Hitch - 76" Long - Steel - 500 lbs # e98873.

If you'd rather not do that, the Draw-Tite # 65076 installs a bit more conventionally, below the bumper. This makes for an easier installation, but would require cutting a hole in the under bumper trim (if so equipped) and would reduce the ground clearance, so...

- Draw Tite or Curt Front Hitch for 2020 Ford F-350 Super DutyI like the Draw Tite part # 65076 for your 2020 Ford F-350 Super Duty as it has the best ground clearance. The Curt part # C31078 sits a bit lower which I don't think you'll want.

Please keep in mind that the hitch has a 500 lb vertical load limit, which means that the hitch receiver tube can safely withstand a total of 500 lbs. This means that the combined weight of everything bearing down on that receiver, the bikes, the cargo tray, the splitter, the upright load bar and half the weight of the kayaks cannot exceed 500 lbs. Youll also want to make sure the splitter youre using has sufficient capacity for what youre asking it to do.
