Snowplow Installation
Front or rear mount? Versatility is the SnowSport LT's middle name.
Installation is quick and simple - just slide the included shank assembly into your 2" hitch receiver and secure with pin.
Once the plow frame is connected, attach the blade by lifting one end at a time onto the frame's holders. The lightweight aluminum blade construction makes lifting or adjusting an easy, one-person job. Secure the blade in either the transport or plowing position with the plow's snap pins. The low-profile design won't block your headlights, and the transport position is secure enough for highway travel.
How to Plow
If using with a rear-mount receiver, simply lower the blade to plow position and back up as usual. For a front-mounted plow blade, just drive forward with the blade in the plow position. The unique design takes the hassle out of plowing: This device has no hydraulics or complicated wiring. The push frame on the shank assembly allows the blade to move along the grade of the terrain for easier, more efficient plowing. The heavy-duty rubber cutting edge is effective yet turf friendly, collecting snow and squeegeeing slush without digging into the ground.
When you are ready to reverse your driving direction, the blade lies back, skimming over the surface of the ground until you change direction again to plow.
Handy blade markers extend vertically from the ends of the plow to help you see where you are plowing.
With the SnowSport LT, plowing snow is as easy as backing out of your driveway. Once you are finished plowing, simply lift the blade, refasten it in the transport position and head off for work or errands.

Video Transcript for Review of CURT Front Receiver Hitch - Custom Fit Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - C31083
Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com, and today, we're gonna take a look at this Curt Custom Fit Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver. Now, this is specifically designed to fit your 2018 to 2021 Ford Expedition and your 2015 to 2021 Ford F-150. This two inch front-mounted hitch receiver is going to give you an attachment point for your hitch-mounted accessories such as your winch, spare tire carrier, snowplow, cargo carrier, and much more. With this hitch, you won't have to worry about blindly backing your trailer in, just hook it up to this front-mounted hitch and drive forward. This features a sturdy square tube design with a gloss black powder coat finish over a sturdy steel construction that's going to help resist rust and corrosion. And this has a line pull of 9,000 pounds and a vertical load of 500 pounds and a gross trailer weight of 5,000 pounds.
Now, this is going to be a relatively easy bolt-on installation. What's nice is no welding is required to install this, and as you can see, this does include a complete hardware kit with installation instructions to walk you through the installation process. I do wanna point out, installation does require the removal of your lower front air dam, and bumper fascia trimming will also be required just so you're aware of that. You will also receive lifetime technical support from us here at etrailer.com. And just to give you a brief overhead look, a measurement that I thought you might find helpful is the measurement from the cross tube to the end of the receiver.
So lining my ruler up there, as you can see, we're sitting pretty close to 9 1/2 inches. This also has a pin hole diameter of 5/8 of an inch. And finally, I would would like to share just a few photos from our neighbors who have purchased this hitch from etrailer.com, and they shared pictures with us just to show what this hitch is going to look like on the front of their Fords after installation. So hopefully, this kinda gives you an idea of what this is going to look like on your Ford after you have installed it, and we have quite a few more pictures that our neighbors have provided for us on this product page if you are interested in checking those out. Well, that's gonna conclude our look today, I do hope that it was helpful for you.
Again, my name is Andy, thank you for joining me.

I bought the front trailer hitch for a bike rack while pulling my camper and that works great. I decided to try it pushing the trailer into my garage and really like that. Takes some learning since only very small adjustments in steering wheel make quick change in the trailer directions.
Installation was simple, but requires more strength than I have to lift hitch into position (tight fit) and bolt it in place. I found a local curt dealer who installed it for about a hundred bucks. Money well spent.

This receiver performs well for both bicycle and motorcycle carriers. It is not obtrusive when not being used. It was easy to install with no drilling required (You do have to cut out the air dam.). I would have given 5 stars if would’ve fit a little higher. There was room for it to be at least an inch further off the ground. I ended up putting a 1 inch leveling kit on the front of my 2 wheel drive F150 and it turned out great and the truck looks better too
by: Bill04/13/2023
I am very pleased with this equipment. Bought it to carry two heavy E-bikes. Installation directions could have been clearer--but with the help of videos, I got it in just fine. Had to use a large crow bar to urge it in place though.
by: Chris D.04/22/2020
I installed this so I could use my trailer hitch winch mount on front or back and not have it installed all the time. I've use it a couple of times off the front end and it worked great. Fairly priced product. It is a very snug fit, as I had the underside of my truck sprayed with industrial black paint to prevent corrosion and rust, so that might be part of it. If you want an affordable front end 2 inch receiver, this is a good way to go. I would recommend.

Working out great!

The receiver is strong and works great. The installation was a bit difficult. You have to pull the bolt assembly through the tube frame in a Ford f150 with a special wire. However the washers provided were too large for the holes in the frame so I had to buy smaller washers. They said the model I bought was for a 3 year span but guess my year the opening hole sizes changed. Other then that it is well worth the money.

I am very impressed with Arthur D. of etrailer.com. He answered all the questions I asked in a very timely manner. We were heading out of town and needed the order to arrive in a timely manner. Arthur made sure and expedited the order and we received the shipment earlier than estimated.
I did have to drop a star, but I believe this is the fault of Curt Mfg. The way the item was boxed did not handle well in shipping. The flanges that mount to the frame of the truck had been bent, or sprung from possibly being dropped on the end of the box by the carrier. So what should have been an easy install took hours to spring the flanges back out to the necessary width to fit over the pickup frame. I believe this issue could be resolved by the addition of a pipe or 2x2 and a couple of lag bolts mounted between the flanges to prevent them from being bent. I used a bottle jack and a bar between the two to spread them apart, but this took multiple attempts along with having the jack and pipe pop loose and flying across the floor.
Good job on etrailer.com's end, but Curt needs to step it up.

This thing sits so unbelievably low. I can’t believe Curt’s R&D team haven’t come up with a better solution.. My install is on a 2017 F150 XLT 4x4 Crew Cab with a 5.5’ bed. The hitch is obviously made to go around a different style bracket than the one mine uses. After going over my install carefully to make sure everything would clear, I ended up removing the hitch and modifying it to raise it significantly. I lowered the front bolt holes by an inch and a half; and the rear bolt holes by an inch and a quarter. I cut an inch and a half off of both front tabs so I could lift the hitch high enough to use my new holes.
Now the hitch comes out at the very top of the air dam. Luckily I never cut it after my initial installation!
Very happy with how it turned out, but quite disappointed in Curt. They need to narrow down which F150’s this hitch is appropriate for and which ones it’s not. I do not believe this hitch is appropriate for my truck. Yes, it bolts up.. but the location is far too low to be practical. It’s bad enough the air dam is so low that it sometimes scrapes curbs when I park close.. Can’t imagine what the jolt would feel like every time you parked against a curb and ran the front hitch into it!

Sorry for your trouble with installing this front hitch. This hitch is designed to sit in the center of the lower air dam. It has about 8 inches of ground clearance, which is pretty common for all front mount hitches.
by: Mike07/25/2022
2018 FordF-150
A spacer/spreader bar between the brackets would go a long way in preventing these from being bent during shipment. Mine was bent in over an inch. Luckily I have the ways and means to correct that as well as cutting and redrilling to gain an inch and a half more ground clearance on my 2018 f150 fx4.
Seems like these are made to cover many year models. Perhaps making them for more specific models would help.

It is common amongst hitches for the hitch to bend or flex during shipment, since the mounting brackets are made from a mild steel that allows the hitch to flex with the vehicle after installation. If the entire hitch was made of rigid steel, there would be a greater chance of the hitch being damaged and experiencing stress cracks. Such cracks could cause the hitch to malfunction. This flexing often times will cause the holes not to align. Because of this we do have a help article I have the link attached below that will walk you through the process of straightening the hitch.

2016 FordF-150
DO NOT follow instructions to remove/cut air dam/facia on 2023 F150. I did and now have a 3” wide gap ABOVE the receiver which hangs BELOW the air dam/facia.
I did the same hitch and install on my 2016 F150 and the receiver nestled up in the cut notch and thus provided 3” more ground clearance.
As usual the box was destroyed in shipping but hitch was fine. Speedy delivery
But the cost of a new air dam/facia on a brand new truck earns it 1 star.
by: David08/22/2019
This product is well made. Made in the USA. I thought instructions and diagrams could have been clearer though. Time estimates for installation were off. Took me 2 hours to install. I did it without help and a extra set of hands would have made it much faster. Pump jack a must. Love the product and if instructions and diagrams were a little clearer I would give 5 stars

I have used my front hitch all season and it is beautiful. So easy to view boat and launch. A great help for two wheel drive trucks because power wheels are always high and dry out of the water. Should have done it years ago.
by: Sy07/19/2022
2019 FordF-150
I walked away on my first attempt. Dang fishing wires were driving me nuts. Videos helped but I needed a night to visualize my attack plan.
Things the instructions didn't explain.
1) Elevate the front on ramps or put the truck on a lift for all you fancy dudes.
2) Widen the access hole with a hole step bit if needed. (Get a cheap one from China Freight or similar but make sure it's for metal) The rectangular steel brackets will now fit through the hole lengthwise. Check first, your frame may already have a wide enough hole. My frame did not. It drills out really easy. Alarmingly easy!
3) Use additional wire (heavier gauge) to snake the fishing wires through to their endpoints. Identify the holes where the bolts will permanently be. Fish your own wire from there to the access hole. Now attach the supplied fishing wire rigged up with all the hardware to your bootleg MacGuyver wire and pull the whole thing through. Dont pull the whole rig at once. Feed the bracket into the hole first followed by the bolt. I used electric fence dog wire and it made the installation a breeze. The factory-provided fishing wires are like guitar strings.
4) Use an ATV jack or similar to jack the receiver in place. Take your time lining up the holes, walking from side to side, and checking after every few pumps of the jack. Insert your hitch and ball into the receiver for a little extra leverage manhandling it into place. Now is when I decided to position the 2 square reinforcement plates. I simply used a little crowbar to flex the receiver just enough to slide them into position. No need to grind these like others have done. Snake the wires through the two plates and through the corresponding reciever's bolt holes. Use a heavy hammer and some 2x scrap lumber to bang the receiver into the final mounting place with all holes lined up. As soon as you have one hole perfectly aligned, pull your bolt through. Repeat for the next 3. and the rest is easy.
Not counting night 1, about an hour and 15 min solo installation time in the driveway.
Tools highly recommended: metal hole step bit (big one), heavy hammer, scrap 2x6 or similar for hitting, small crowbar, eye protection, hitch inserted into the receiver for leverage, atv/lawn mower jack, and 2-3 ft of flexible but stiff wire.

2018 FordF-150
I am giving this 4 stars because it sits much lower than I was led to believe from reading these reviews. The hitch is really strong and well made though. I hope it’s not too low.
I installed this on my 2018 F-150 3.5 eco boost yesterday. The install took an hour and a half. I elevated the front of the truck with ramps and supported the hitch with 2 jack stands. I also had my son helping me.
I started on the front attachment point by lining up the hole. I made sure the holes in the frame and the hitch were lined up by testing with a bolt. I then fished the wire. I started by trying to feed the wire in through the access hole and pull it out through the bolt hole but quickly reversed that and it was much easier. Once I put the coiled end of the wire through the bolt hole, fishing out through the access hole took 30 seconds. Then I put the metal spacer with the square hole on the wire and threaded the bolt on. Every thing was fed through the access hole and it came out the bolt hole easily. The second hole further back on the hitch was easier because it’s only a couple of inches from the access hole. I messed up on the first side because I didn’t put the metal spacer with the round hole between the frame and the hitch. I was able to correct it though. I repeated this for all four bolts and tightened them down with hand tight. Before I tightened them down, I added some thread locker and used my hydraulic jack to push the hitch as high as I could to maximize ground clearance. Then I tightened them down with my impact wrench and the torque limiter to 110 lbs.
The reason I’m only giving it four stars is because it is only 9” above the ground from the bottom of the hitch. I’m worried that is too low. Before I mounted it, I considered cutting 1”or 2” off the front tabs on the hitch and re-drilling the four holes. There is enough room between the hitch and the frame to raise it 2-3”. This would have given me another inch of clearance. But, I thought I’d just follow the instructions and see what happens. I figured if I don’t have enough clearance I can lift the front of the truck 2” to get rid of the factory front tilt. And I can take it off an modify it like I stated above. (I just am not sure how I will reverse fish the bolts and spacers out?)
The pictures show: the clearance in inches, the tabs on the front that would need to be cut off (and maybe the back too if you want to get maximum clearance). And the amount of space between the horizontal tube and the frame.

Pros:
Extremely stout
Great to mount the bike rack up front when pulling the trailer
Great customer service from eTrailer
Cons:
Installation instructions could be improved
Rear of the hitch was about 3/16" inch narrower than the front (read on)
First off, if I was to install this again, I would take a few minutes to block the truck and remove the front tires for easier access. Secondly, Curt has a video: Although it's similar, it is not the video for this part number.
I don't know if the hitch got bent during shipping, but the 3/16" difference in the width caused a significant amount of grief. After fishing the carriage bolts through the frame, the front holes mounted up fairly easily. When trying to line up the rear holes, I had use a mallet to line up the hole on the driver's side because the hitch frame was so tight: When doing that, the fish wire snapped and the carriage bolt and washer fell into the frame. I tried a magnet to get them but couldn't locate them. Fortunately, a buddy had a spare bolt and washer, and with a little work and "encouragement" we were able to thread it through and bolt everything together.
I want to emphasize that in the video, the plastic air dam appears to be trimmed from the top of the dam and the technician trimmed some tabs off of the dam. I didn't trim the tabs and after I did a preliminary line-up of the dam, I realized that I had to trim the bottom of the dam, not the top.
Like I said, the receiver is really stout, it's USA made, and great customer service. It will solve our dilemma about being able to take the bikes when we take the trailer. If I didn't have such a hassle with losing that bolt, I would have given 5 stars.
One last thing, I have 2018 F150 4x4 and with the hitch installed I have about 8 inches of clearance.

2015 FordF-150
Bolted up easy after widening the gap a little with a hammer. Showed up half hanging out of the box but the hardware and instructions are taped to the receiver so it was fine.
by: Alton11/28/2019
Easy install, after I found out the front holes in the frame are different locations. Use the back holes first and then the front. Was able to cut the hole in the air dam and slide it over the hitch to keep the integrity of it. For those that prefer it sitting higher of the ground for clearance. The mounting tabs on the hitch can be cut off and re-drilled to give more clearance.
by: Kirk09/07/2019
2016 FordF-150
Installed on a 2018 F150 xlt 2.7 eco. The hitch sits about a inch lower than advertised. I just installed it today and will need to got to the lake to see if I can use it as it. Significantly reduces ground clearance on the front and it may be a problem for going up the driveway. The instructions need a lot of work and while they help a little the valance cutout measurements they give were wrong for my truck. My instructions said cut 3 x 2 5/8 inches and I had to cut 3 x 3 3/4 inch only left and inch of material on the front valance. I am not sure why the hitch needs to sit so low as there seems to be plenty of room to have it move up if it was redesigned. I paid the extra money for the CURT due to the ground clearance comments but it is hard to believe that anyone would design a hitch that sits any lower.

2015 FordF-150
This receiver hitch fit my 2015 F-150 perfectly. All mounting holes lined up great. Installed in about 45 minutes, no problems. Looks great, bottom of hitch sits about 1/2 inch below the air dam, and the front is about 2 inches back under the bumper. It looks factory installed. I couldn't be happier with my purchase and recommend this 100%. Also just wanted to recommed etrailer, I received my hitch 3 days after ordering. That is a great turnaround. Thanks etrailer

Relatively easy to install. It took me a couple of hours but I move extremely slow anyways. We bought this to mount a bike rack on the front of my F-150 and it has worked out perfectly.
by: Chuck01/26/2024
Fit was great, installation went fairly smooth. I did drill and add 2 more grade 8 bolts, one on each side where an existing hole was in the frame. I felt that 4 bolts wasn't enough, possibly overkill, but rather safe than sorry. Very pleased with its performance. I use it for a snow blade. Works great!
by: Bryan12/09/2020
Perfect fit. All parts are easy with mechanical knowledge. Extremely happy with the product. Only thing I didn’t like was cutting the air dam for receiver to stick through. Overall very satisfied!!!

- 2023 Ford F-150 Front Mount Trailer Hitch Recommendation
- I really like the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31083 for your 2023 Ford F-150 because it installs through the lower fascia on your truck, and it has a thicker powder coat than the other options so it will do a great job at resisting the elements and damage from road debris.
view full answer... - Will Curt Hitch Fit 2023 Ford F-150 With FX4 Package
- You can fit the # C31083 on your 2023 Ford F-150 with the FX4 package but you will need to make modifications. The skid plate can be reinstalled but it will have to be trimmed to get it to fit. Technically the auto air damn can also be modified to make this fit just like the Draw-Tite. We don't have instructions for these modifications so it will be up to you to make it work.

- Both of the front hitches you referenced will fit your 2016 Ford F-150 SuperCrew 4WD as they are confirmed to fit all models of your truck.
They are both priced about the same but since the Draw Tite part # 65067 has a bit more capacity it would be the hitch I would go with if it was my truck.

This hitch would work well for you though.

- The Curt front hitch for your 2016 Ford F-150 # C31083 does sit higher than the Draw Tite that also fits your truck # 65067 still. The Draw Tite comes up below the rear air damn whereas the Curt installs through the air dam.

- The Curt Front Hitch # C31083 for your 2020 Ford F-150 actually won't affect the truck's ground clearance at all. This is because the hitch is designed so that the 2" receiver protrudes through the middle of the lower air dam, instead of resting beneath it. I have attached a couple of customer-submitted images below to further show this.
The hitch features a 9,000 pound line pull rating, a 500 pound vertical load limit, and all the necessary hardware is included.

- The Draw Tite part # 65067 will sit lower to the ground than the Curt hitch part # C31083 which is also a fit for your 2016 Ford F-150. The Draw Tite requires you to notch a couple inches out of the bottom of the air dam up front, but the Curt requires you to cut a hole a bit higher for the hitch to fit through.

- The good news is that neither the Curt # C31083 or the Draw-Tite # 65067 front mount trailer hitches will reduce the ground clearance on your 2018 Ford F-150.
If you want a receiver that sits above the lowest piece of fascia then the Curt requires that a square hole be cut in the front fascia and it sticks straight through. The Draw-Tite sits a little lower and just requires that a notch be cut out at the bottom of the fascia, but the bottom of the receiver sits about level with the

They are very similar in design and mount to the same locations on the frame, however the Draw-tite will be slightly lower than the Curt hitch.

- The 10 inches you are measuring may not be quite enough to fit a platform rack with either front trailer hitch that fits your 2019 Ford F-150, the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65067 or Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31083.
The Curt hitch is the better choice for a front hitch on your F-150 because of its better ground clearance.

- Unfortunately your Curt hitch from your 2010 Ford F-150 is not a fit for your 2017 model. I recommend the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # C31083 which is a confirmed fit for 2015-2018 model years of the Ford F-150.

- The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C31083 will require a slight trimming of the lower plastic bumper fascia but there will be no drilling or alterations that will be needed on the vehicle's frame. The trimming of the lower plastic bumper fascia is needed to allow for the receiver tube opening to poke through which you can see in the attached photo on a similar truck. The brackets install using pre-drilled holes in the frame rail. This means that no warranties will be voided.

- In regards to installing the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C31083 on a 2016 Ford F-150, I have attached for you below a super detailed photo that explains the fishwire technique. I don't have an install video on this truck but the photo should help. I recommend mocking the hitch up into position first so you can get a better idea of what holes you'll be using but this is also explained in the instructions which you can find below.

- The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch # C31083 and the Draw-Tite # 65067 are extremely similar hitches that are both confirmed to fit your 2018 Ford F-150. Both hitches will mount to the same locations on the truck's frame and feature identical 500 pound vertical load and 900 pound line pull ratings. Between these two options I recommend going with the Curt simply because it will offer a slightly better ground clearance dimension. The hitch receiver on this model will protrude a bit further

- For your 2020 Ford F-150 XLT the best front mount hitch is the Curt # C31083 because it's going to sit just a tad higher than the Draw-Tite alternative for better ground clearance. The 2" receiver for the Curt hitch will actually protrude through the lower bumper fascia on the truck, so it actually won't affect the F-150's ground clearance at all (see attached image).
This heavy-duty hitch features a 9,000 pound line pull capacity and a 500 pound vertical load limit. I have attached

- On your 2020 Ford F-150 the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch # C31083 will sit further up than the Draw-Tite alternative and actually won't affect the truck's ground clearance at all. The 2" receiver on the hitch will protrude right through the middle of the air dam so the air dam itself remains the lowest point on the F-150.
I have attached a couple customer-submitted images of the Curt hitch installed so you can see exactly how it looks. I have also included the written installation

Works great. I usually use it for my Kuat bike rack but occasionally put an aluminum motorcycle carrier with a 250lb KTM on it. The motorcycle carrier has a steel frame underneath so you have to be careful on steep s to a road so it doesn’t scrape.
