Expert Answers about Ford Front Receiver Hitch


  • Can a Brush Guard and Front Trailer Hitch Receiver Be Installed on a 2003 Ford F-250?
  • Most applications will not allow for both a brush guard and front receiver to be utilized together but looking at what is available for your 2003 Ford F-250 you do have an option. Both our Westin # 40-0225 and Aries # AA3045 grill guards are going to mount at the bumper while the Curt Front Receiver # C31014 is going to mount to the bottom of the frame. So the installation connections for your truck are not going to interfere with each other. You will still need to consider what hitch...

  • Front Hitch for 2020 Ram 2500 Power Wagon
  • This is an easy decision to make since the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch # C73ZV is the only model that is compatible with the Power Wagon trim. The only exception is if you have a diesel but it looks like the Power Wagon comes with a Hemi V8 so that shouldn't be an issue. The hitch has a bolt-on installation, gross trailer weight of 5,000 lbs, line pull of 9,000 lbs, and a 500 lb vertical load.

  • Does Curt Front Hitch 31042 Require Fascia Trimming on 1997 Chevy Suburban
  • Nope, you do not have to do any bumper fascia trimming on your 1997 Chevy Suburban to install the Curt Front Mount Hitch # 31042. You don't have to do any drilling, either so it's just a bolt-on installation. As for clearance, from the top of the brackets to the bottom of the tube it is 4 inches.

  • Correct Front Mount Hitch for a 2019 Ford E-Series Class C RV
  • The correct front hitch for your Class C RV on the 2019 Ford E-350 Cutaway is the Draw-Tite # 65053. This is a custom fit application that installs using existing holes but it looks like you'll need to use some drill bits to make the holes a little larger, and you'll also need to cut some of the fascia at the front of your RV for this to fit. The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 33055 you're looking at fits older models of the E-350 and won't work for your RV. Attached is an...

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Recommendations For a 2021 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid
  • I have a couple options for you depending on which you prefer for your 2021 Toyota RAV4 hybrid. First we have our etrailer Receiver # e23ZR which is a standard style receiver with a 2" opening. If you prefer a cleaner appearance the Hidden Hitch # DT97YR with its removable receiver would be a better option. The Hidden Hitch is a more extensive install to get the hidden receiver so depending on your skill level you may want to select either the etrailer receiver or look at having the installation...

  • Class I Hitch Receiver Availability for a 2024 Honda CR-V
  • Thanks for reaching out, Tommy! The closest thing we have for your 2024 Honda CR-V is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12169 which is a Class II hitch receiver. This means it has the same 1-1/4" receiver opening as the Class I but it just has a stronger weight rating so this will still work for your application. Attached is an installation video and a photo of the hitch installed on a 2024 CR-V for your reference.

  • Will The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Prevent Use of the Hands Free Lift Gate on 2024 Lexus RX 500h?
  • I can tell you John, I had the same concern when I installed a receiver on my Acura RDX. While my receiver did not entirely prevent the use of the kick sensor for the hands free liftgate it did limit the area I was able to kick due to the receiver. You will have the same issue on your 2024 Lexus RX 500h. Once you install the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C29VV you simply need to test different areas around the receiver to figure out which area works best for the kick sensor. I do recommend...

  • Will The Stealth Hitches Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit a 2021 Audi Q3 S-Line?
  • I can verify the Stealth Hitches Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver w/ Towing Kit # 391AUDQ319T will fit your 2021 Audi Q3 S-Line. As far as our images not matching the receiver installation video's or the instructions linked near the bottom of the page, it appears there was a rolling change to the receiver which eliminated the need for the extra component. I have sent an update to have the images updated.

  • Will Hands Free Liftgate Still Function On 2024 Toyota Venza With etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver
  • Terrific question John. Our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e25AR is not going to prevent the use of your hands free liftgate on your 2024 Toyota Venza. Since you will have the 2" receiver opening under the rear fascia it will limit the area you are able to perform the kick motion to get the liftgate to open. I recommend installing the 4-Way # C59496 when you install the receiver. This will allow you to connect to most small trailers you might tow and to use Auxiliary Lights # C53201...

  • Yes, your kick sensor for your hands free liftgate will still work after installing a Class III receiver on your 2024 Toyota RAV4 XSE. I have linked an install video near the bottom of the page for our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e23ZR being installed on a 2022 RAV4 XSE where you can see him demonstrate the sensor still working around the 1:25 time stamp in the video. If you feel like the receiver is something you are not constantly going to be using you might consider the Hidden...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2024 Acura MDX
  • To add a hitch with a 2" receiver to your 2024 Acura MDX, I recommend the etrailer item # e27KR. This hitch has a 900 lbs maximum tongue weight so it will work great with your Thule bike rack. I really like the way it installs too. The only portion of it you will see is the 2" receiver. I have linked an installation video below to help you get it set up.

  • How Far Past The Rear Bumper Will The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver Sit on a 2021 Acura TLX?
  • While we have not had a 2021 Acura TLX in our shop to provide you this measurement Joseph, I took some measurements of the Draw-Tite Sportframe Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT68GR which will help you to determine exactly where the hitch is going to sit. You will want to use the installation instructions linked near the bottom of this page to find the rear mounting holes on your frame. From there the end of the receiver is going to sit 9-1/8" back from the center of the mounting hole. To determine...
