I've purchased and installed many hitch products for various vehicles over the years and often installations were difficult as the design and instructions did not recognize or make provision for obstructions caused by other components on the vehicle. So I was very pleasantly surprised with the fast and easy installation of this unit. The "fish wire" worked perfectly - the entire installation was complete in an hour. The quality and fit surpassed my expectations - especially considering the low price and prompt delivery. Absolutely will buy and recommend exclusively Curt products in the future. I know this endorsement may sound to good to be believed - but trust me - these folks do their homework and deserve your patronage. AMERICAN MADE TOO ! 2005 GMC Envoy

I continue to be very pleased with the product - Our vintage scooter rides off the front of our Envoy on vacations - and we have no worries - just fun.

Thanks for the follow up and reply I did want to remind you to make sure that the weight of your scooter and your hitch are within the vehicle capacities, and traveling safefly according to local regulations regarding visibility etc.

Very easy installation with the hardware that is included. The spring bolt pullers work excellent.since install I have used it for a Snowsport snow plow with no issues at all. The fitment of unit was precise.



by:

This is a nice hitch that was very easy to install. Unfortunately, the vehicle was stolen before we could use it to plow snow.

Arrived in two days just as promised where another supplier was stating 2-3 months delivery. Instillation was fairly easy, the fish wire helps tremendously, and I installed it by myself in just over an hour. I was worried that It would not fit with my existing bull bar but it came out great with just a couple of cuts in the skid plate. it looks good and now I have a good strong recovery point for the front.

When I opened, I asked to myself: "How I will install this?", but eventually I saw all the instructions and a great help was a you tube video, took to me about an hour to install this, that was fast considering that I never did this before, please consider to buy a torque meter to be sure you tide it well. My plan is to carry a dirt bike to FL.

Thanks for your review and your business, Carlos. Often, local auto parts stores will rent torque wrenches so you may safely install your hitch. I hope this helps!

Great

I launch my boat from a boat ramp on my property using the front hitch. Actually my wife launches the boat while I am in it. She cannot back a vehicle with a boat and trailer, but she easily puts the boat in the water using a front hitch.

This is my 3rd receiver that I have installed and it fit perfectly. My first, a front reciever on an 05 Suburban went real smooth. My 2nd, a rear hitch on a 17 Elantra was even easier. My latest, a front receiver on an 03 GMC Envoy wasn't as easy. This was due to getting my hands up to the access holes as well as having to work the hitch up and around the sway bar. Took me about 2 Hours, but finally got it in place. Once past the sway bar it moved right into place and bolted up fine. Would definitely purchase from E-Trailer again, as the fit is perfect. Shipping was unbelievably fast on each of my 3 orders.



by:

Great ProductVery handy for moving my two trailers around and hitch is out of site when not in use,Installation was fairly easy.You will have to remove the two front bolts if there is a plate over your oildrain plug in order to access the frame opening.

i bought this hitch receiver to help mount a winch to the front of my Chevy SUV. i travel on many rough, rocky, muddy and snowy roads and get stuck frequently almost always when there is no help available. Now, with the winch in place I can count on getting myself out of trouble when the time comes.



by:

It was just what I was looking for all the parts fit as they should and the instructions was easy to follow



by:

Very quick shipping. Good Quality! They appear to be available to handle any questions or concerns.

this product is good after one year.

  • Details on Fascia Trimming Required to Install a CURT Front Mount Trailer Hitch, 2008 GMC Envoy
    The CURT Front Mount Trailer Hitch, # 31055, is the correct front hitch for a 2008 GMC Envoy. We have not yet had the opportunity to install this hitch on a vehicle so I do not have a video or pictures I could link you to. But I have included a link to the installation details that show the trimming that needs to be done. There is a diagram that shows where and how much of the underbody trim panel that needs to be trimmed. It is about a 2-1/2 inch square area that only needs to be trimmed...

  • Does the Curt 31055 Front Hitch Fit on a 2004 GMC Envoy XUV

This will still require some trimming of the front fascia as noted in the installation notes but you won't be required to modify the hitch in any way. This hitch installs without drilling into existing holes on the front frame of the vehicle.

  • Is there a Video that Shows How to Perform the Fishwire Technique to Install a Trailer Hitch
    The CURT Front Mount Receiver, # 31055, does bolt to the vehicle frame rails but the bolts do not go all the way through each frame rail. Instead, like you have said, you will fishwire the hardware into the inside of each frame rail through access holes in the frame. The fishwire technique is not as difficult as you might think. Even though I do not have a video showing the hitch being installed on a 2006 GMC Envoy, I can provide a link that explains and shows how to fishwire hardware....

  • Will Curt Front Mount Hitch Part # 31055 Fit the 2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer SS Without Trimming
    I spoke with my contact at Curt, and they have not had a chance to test fit the front mount hitch on an SS model. Frame should be the same between the SS and other models, but the SS front fascia is much different so it may require some fascia trimming, but they do not know where since they have not had a chance to fit one yet. The radiator may also be different or larger since the SS model got the 6.0 LS2 V8, a larger, higher output V8 than what came in the other V8 Trailblazer models. We...

  • Front Hitch and Snow Plow Recommendation for a 2003 GMC Envoy
    As long as you have a front hitch on your 2003 GMC Envoy like the # 31055 the snow plow part # SB324-080 will fit. It's a bit wider than most plows that would get used on a smaller SUV like the Envoy, but if you plan to upgrade to a full size truck eventually this would be a good plow to use. You would be able to easily transfer it over to the Sierra when you needed too.

    You can get a replacement hardware kit for Curt front mount receiver # 31055 for your 2004 Chevy TrailBlazer.
