Question:
Hello, I just bought a 2015 ford explorer XLT and am looking to add a front hitch and bull bar/grill guard, are there and interference issues between the two or a combo that would have to be used together? Thank you

I may have a solution for you, but there will be interference issues when trying to mount these two types of accessories on the front of your 2015 Ford Explorer XLT so you would need to choose one or the other; unfortunately there is not a combo of these two available. If you'd like to go with the front hitch, the Curt # C31052 is the available front hitch for your Explorer and will give you a durable hitch with a 2" receiver. Curt hitches typically have a much thicker powder coating on them compared to other hitches, so this will be able to stand up better to scratches and dings over time. This front hitch can be used to mount a snow plow, winch carrier plate or any other accessory that mounts in a 2" receiver.
If you wanted to go the bull bar/grille guard route, I've linked our entire selection of those that are confirmed to fit on your Explorer XLT for you to check out.
