Easily attach a variety of accessories to the front of your vehicle with this corrosion-resistant trailer hitch receiver. Perfect for winches, spare tire carriers and more.This took a lot longer than I thought it would (about 3 hrs), mainly for figuring out how to get the right tool into the right place, but it turned out really good and will be great to put a bike rack on the front while towing our trailer in the rear. I was also able to re-install the tow hooks as well as part of the installation. You will definitely have to reach way back up in there to install and get ahold of a hitch pin any time you use it, but it looks really clean and you can't really even tell it is there when the license plate is on (you have to remove license plate any time you want to use it). I highly recommend using a floor jack to prop the hitch up into place so you can maneuver it around the air dam a bit more easily and line it up with the holes. The instructions could have used some better pictures of actually how to get it up into place. I had to get it in by just barely fitting it in front of the air dam and then jacking it up and around it. End product though looks really good.
The product and insulation are straightforward. It took approximately 1 1/2 hours to install. More time was spent cutting the shroud as the instructions gave a measurement which was too small.
California requires front license plates which covers the hitch, license plate needs to be removed to install hitch but does the job what time!
Pretty easy install on a 2022 Ram 1500. You do have to relocate the front tag, but if you have the skill to install the hitch, moving the tag should be no big deal.

Took some careful cutting of the air dam (or whatever it's called) but it's proven invaluable. Don't leave home without it, if you want to snake a trailer into someplace you wouldn't ordinarily snake a trailer.

The older I get the more useful this is. Any old man will understand.
This is not as easy as the instructions make it seem.
There are a many nuts that you need to remove to get the facia out of the way. There are also a number of clips and brackets that need to be removed.
The biggest issue I have is the carriage bolts for the vertical mounts aren’t long enough. They barely get purchase on the bolt.
At the end I of the day it’s installed and I’m only using it for a bike rack. If I was doing anything heavy duty I’d replace the Carrige bolts with longer ones.
Etrailer shipped product faster than they said, but when got home and package was busted on two ends. Scuff marks on receiver part of hitch and another side. No problem really little paint before I put it on cause using it on the beach. Will never see.
It was very easy to install I'm a DIYer so I only have ramps and a mechanics dolly but I was able to get it done. The online instructions were very helpful, they gave me a clue as to what to expect installation wise. I ordered from etrailer in the past and the item arrived quickly. I would definitely use them again.
Perfect fit and very easy to install. On my truck 2019 1/2 ton Ram 4x4 you have to look very close to see it has a front hitch.

One year later the product is working great.
It was a perfect fit. I only gave it 4 stars because the instructions could have been better.
The instructions for the 2 bolts that go in from the front could have been better. I saw that if you take out the 2 covers where the tow hooks go through the front, you can get to those 2 front bolts very easily. Nowhere in the instructions does it tell you that.
Following the completion of my order I received a shipment notification early the next day. I received the trailer hitch receiver the 2 days after placing my order. The hitch was complete and installation instruction were provided. Installation took about 2 hours. I recommend purchasing from etrailer.com.
The brand of product is just that but the difference is in the retailer. etrailer has always been helpful with great pricing.
easy no drill installation. perfect fit.
Should have two people to install because of the weight, but one person can do it if you have a jack to put in place.
Everything went smoothly. Also quick delivery which was nice and well packaged so no damage.
all parts fit without any trouble
Easy install just getting too old about 3.5 hours look good
Easy to order, easy to install, good price and it showed up quick.
Fast and what I needed

I gave up trying to install the front hitch on my 2020 Ram. ped the truck Off at local shop. Figured with a lift and a couple of guys it would be a slam dunk. Surprised when I picked up the truck the guys said it was a very difficult installation. Took 3 guys to get the hitch in place and install with the provided hardware. I was not present during this part of the install but I know and trust these mechanics and have used them for many years. I installed a similar hitch on my previous truck- a 2004 Tundra. I was able to do that one by myself. My advice to anyone planning to install a front hitch on a Ram 2020 to seriously consider use of a lift and skilled mechanics.
