Perfect for winches, spare tire carriers and more.Great item... but I did not try to mount it with the funky wire fishy things.... I just took the bumper off which is really not that hard to do or put back on at least on my '08 Econoline 250. And yes you do have to trim the plastic under part but that is no big deal either.
I'm really satisfied with this front hitch for my 2010 E350 XLT Super Duty. Installation is a bit more complicated than described. I was able to complete the installation in about an hour with the van on the ground. I opted to completely remove the front bumper which is only attached by four nuts. This give complete access to the inside of the frame rails so no fish wire required. This also makes trimming the upper valance much easier. Enlarging the front hole was pretty straight forward. I only had a 1/2 drill bit, but the bolts still dropped in without issue. The hitch does interfere with the factory mounted front license plate which I simply removed. After the hitch is bolted in place, the lower valance will no longer fit without trimming. The instructions provide no diagrams for this so I had to do my best with a Dremel tool. After a minor trim, the valance still required a bit of manhandling to reinstall. The end result is very nice and I look forward to many miles of use.
Very easy install and everything I needed was included. I didn't have a 17/32" drill bit so I used a 1/2" and it worked fine. I pulled the front bumper off, it's only 4 bolts. I ended up having to trim splash guard more than instructions said and used 2x self tappers (M10) for 2 rear ward screws.
The hitch fit perfectly. The instructions showed it could be installed without taking of the front bumper, BUT it was VERY easy removing the bumper, which made it a snap installing the hitch. The instructions for cutting the plastic below the bumper was EXACT. The instructions for cutting the bottom plastic shield were wrong or misleading. But I made a few more cuts and it worked.
Wow! Excellent front hitch to launch my boat and built better than the one on the tail of my motorhome. I could launch a 40 footer with this thing and not worry about the weight! Delivered quickly and the best of all help to mount it. Highly recommend!!!

Any video of how to install this hitch , we have a E350 Van ford and want to carry a generator of about 135 lbs.
Install was made easy with the bolt fishing wires included for getting the bolts into the frame. I really like the position just below the bumper and coming through the air dam. I had to trim a small square out of the air dam, and a good amount from from the sides of the splash guard that's under the radiator. I understand some people just remove the splash guard altogether. That would be fine too but I like the more finished look. Works great for my bike carrier and as a recovery point. I also use it to run a small plow for clearing my driveway (I'm in MN). When not in use I keep one of those rubber plugs in to keep debris out. 2013 Ford E350 Super Duty XLT EB.
Hitch has been great one year in!
These guys are great! When I ever I've had an issue they are super professional and really help out. For example, I had a damaged item that I couldn't fix and reported it to etrailer. Next day the item is shipped and at my door shortly after. Awesome service! I always go here for the competitive price and exceptional service.
