If I could mark it at 4.5 stars I would. I like it the hitch.
I think it hangs down too low, only 8" off the pavement. I did not like to have to take off the tow hooks to install the hitch. I did like the idea of I sold the tow hooks for almost as much as I paid for the hitch.
I had to buy a hitch extender. ( I do not see the extender I bought on etrailer listed any more.) The extender put the hitch out far enough to clear the grill guard that I had installed. My goal was to have a place to mount my 8,000 pound winch. I can now slide the winch in the front receiver or the back factory receiver. I can now pull the truck out from either front or back.
This front mount hitch was just what we needed to haul our bikes when camping with the slide in camper. We had to take the bikes and a bike hitch off each time we had to get in the camper when we stopped. This front mount hitch saved us from having to do that. Also use it for a carrier to carry extra luggage. It came fast and it was very easy to install, just as advertised.

Ive used this several times and it works great. It is a little low, but I use a Curt Hitch Haul with a angled shank.
Good North American made hitch. Clearance from tow hoops to ground a consideration. Bent one hoop back but only because the old logging road was that bad.
This worked out pretty well- drove it for the first time since installed it and it definitely has an affect on how the vehicle feels (I guess the added weight to the front end ) I wouldn't say bad but different. The hitch went on easy, had to trim a very small bit of the air dam maybe a quarter inch. I was worried it would have a impact on the aesthetics of the truck but I think it looks pretty awesome - also the price was the best I could find on the net
Fast delivery, easy installation, fair price
Works as designed!
I am very happy with my Curt front mount trailer hitch receiver which I use for my rod and cooler holder for surf fishing. It is well constructed and assures me of many years of use. I would recommend Curt to anyone who would like a well built front hitch.

Works great for my surf rod rack on my 2012 Ram pickup.
Quality product with clear installation instructions
This front receiver hitch is just what I needed for parking my boat in a very narrow location next to my residence---much shorter turning base having the hitch on the front of the vehicle vs the rear.
This product took just over an hour to install and was very easy with a "second" pair of hands.
will do the same on my next truck

Used it several times this past year===I have a very small space to park my boat next to my residence-instead of using the rear hitch I use the front-it is much easier using the front hitch. Seasons Greeting and stay safe.
I live in the city. So our yards are really not designed to put a travel trailer in. I am using this front mounted hitch to swing my Trailmanor 3124KS our the back yard. Much cheaper option than a powered trailer jockey. Plus I can mount bike carrier, winch etc to the front with no problems.
have had a curt front hitch before(98 Suburban) so was familiar with it.
pretty easy install.
hate loosing the factory tow hooks!!!! need to find a way around that.

no problem with product as far as manufacturing and quality. have on a 4x4 Ram 1500. hangs too low,drags if u cross the smallest ditch etc. also mounts to far in and when you put carrier into hitch it butts up against bumper and will not go in far enough to put the pin thru. havent been able to use it, just havent had time to take it off.
Arrived on time and the hitch fit perfectly. Good quality.
Perfect fit. Fishing wire made the install very easy. Took one person less than 30 minutes to complete.
Product was an easy install, shipping was fast and customer service is always outstanding!
The hitch is barely noticeable and it didn’t need to cut the fascia.

Works as advertised. Very easy to install didnt have to cut any bumper plastic. Holds up to the impact of having a plow connected to it.
Easy to install. Works great with my home plow. Don't have to back up with trailers around the yard, precision trailering from the front. My only gripe is that if you buy a new truck to install this front mount hitch you will need two bolts unless you can fish out the existing bolts with a magnet. Save the fish wire that comes with the mount.
Fast delivery!
I wanted a front-mounted receiver hitch so I could push my travel trailer into its narrow parking spot. Backing in was challenging - I have a narrow curving driveway with rock walls on both sides.
I had a service garage install it for me - and it works great!
It does sit rather low so I have to lower my trailer's hitch to its lowest point so I can connect it to my truck.
Very fast service
Fit perfectly and works just like it should. Makes pushing my travel trailer into the barn much easier. The only thing that I would improve is to make it where I could still keep the factory tow hooks..
Perfect fit and installs as stated in the instructions. Trimming the valance is very minor, however it does not have to be done. Frame steel is real so don't go cheap on a drill bits.

Working out great. Used for surf fishing basket. Does reduce ground clearance a hard two inches.
Works great! You need a good drill bit to drill the holes in your frame, but otherwise no problem.

Product still works great.
Great construction. Realtively easy to install, but I would prefer U-bolts to drilling in the frame and fishing bolts through!

It needs to be a few inches higher, so it’s bearly flush belke the bumper. It grabs the oavement in low dios in the road. It’s mounted to a RAM CREW CAB 4WD

All the products from this order have held up to the abuse ive put them through. Unfortunately/fortunately last month i acquired a new ram 2500, and will be buying new accessories from etrailer soon! Your customer service is great and prices are even better!!
