  • Curt vs. Draw-Tite Front-Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2021 Ram 1500
  • I would be happy to answer that question for you. The main difference between the Curt Front Hitch Receiver item # C87FR and the Draw-Tite Front Hitch Receiver Item # 65081 is the difficulty in installation. The Curt is way easier to install. You have to remove the front air dam and splitter to install the Draw-Tite. They both have identical capacities with a 9,000 lbs line pull and a 500 lbs vertical load limit. Since the capacities are the same I recommend the Curt item # C87FR based...

  • Comparing Front Mount Receiver Hitches That Fit a 2015 Ram 2500 4X4 For Carrying a Winch
  • The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31015 does sit very far behind and below the factory bumper. When we installed it on a 2015 Ram 2500 like yours in our shop the hitch receiver pin sat 10" behind the leading front edge of the bumper. Since there are several different winches and mounts available and without knowing how the new bumper will change that 10" measurement it is hard to know exactly what will fit until the new bumper is installed. My biggest concern with this comes...

  • There are virtually no structural differences between the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 31114 and the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 65022 for your 2000 Ford F-250. They both install in the exact same location and allot for a 500/5,000 Lb vertical load and line pull rating.

  • The installion instructions for the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 65049 do not require that the front lower bumper spoiler be removed therefore yes, I believe you can leave it in position while you install the trailer hitch. The process of removing the front lower bumper spoiler was done to give our viewers a better look at what was going on which is why it was removed in the video. Please note that if you don't want to do any trimming of the front lower bumper spoiler...

I really like the EcoHitch simply because it hides behind the license plate for a clean, OEM look on your truck. Attached is an installation video of the EcoHitch on a 2021...

  • Comparing Curt & Draw-Tite Front Mounted Trailer Hitch Receivers For a 2006 Dodge Ram 3500
  • The Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65046 and Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31017 that fit your 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 are very similar in the mounting location. The main difference that I see is where the cross tube and receiver come together. The cross tube on the Curt is cut and the receiver passes through it. While the Draw-Tite receiver is welded to the bottom of the cross tube. Not having that cut in the cross tube will make it stronger which is why I would...

  • There are few differences between the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65067 and Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31083 that fit your 2020 Ford F-150, with the main difference being ground clearance. The Curt hitch does have slightly better ground clearance, as the bottom of the hitch will at least be level with your F-150's air dam at its lowest.

  • Comparing Curt Front Mount Hitch Receivers for a 2015 GMC Sierra 1500
  • Curt front mount hitches # C31069 and # C31012 are nearly identical with the exception of what all each will fit. The newer C31069 is designed just for trucks whereas the C31012 also fits some GM SUVs such as the Yukon and Escalade. But as far as how they will fit on your 2015 GMC Sierra 1500 they will be the same. I have linked instructions for both. Both require front fascia/air dam trimming so the bottom of the receiver will sit about 1 inch lower than the bottom of the fascia/air dam.
