Snowplow Installation

Front or rear mount? Versatility is the SnowSport LT's middle name.


Push frame diagram

Installation is quick and simple - just slide the included shank assembly into your 2" hitch receiver and secure with pin.


Woman lifting blade

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

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.


Reverse

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.


Blade markers help you guide your plow

Handy blade markers extend vertically from the ends of the plow to help you see where you are plowing.


Backing Up

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 Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Installation - 2019 Toyota Sequoia

Clayton: Hey, guys! How's it going Clayton, here at etrailer.com. Today we have a 2019 Toyota Sequoia. I'll be walking you through how to install and showing you some features of a front mount hitch by Curt.This is what your hitch is going to look like installed. As you can see, it's not a big eyesore underneath the front of the vehicle. Front mount hitches are great for bike racks, cargo carriers, spare tire holders, a small snowplow. And then even when you're parking a trailer, you can pull it into a tighter spot for more maneuverability.This hitch is going to come with a two inch by two inch receiver tube opening.

This is great because it accommodates most hitch mount accessories. As you can see, here's our hitch pin hole. This hitch pin hole accepts standard five-eighths hitch pins. The pin and clip are not included in this kit, but you can find them here at etrailer.com. This pin will secure all of your hitch mount accessories.This hitch is a steel construction, and it's finished in a black powder-coat finish, which is going to hold up well in all weather conditions over time.As far as our measurements are concerned, the measurement from our hitch pin hole to the outermost part of our fascia is nine inches.

This is going to be important for anything that might fold up, so it doesn't make contact with the vehicle. Our measurement from the ground to the inside part of our receiver tube is 12 inches. This is important for ground clearance.As far as our weight capacities are concerned, this hitch is going to have a 500 pound tongue weight, and that is 500 pounds pushing directly down on the inside of our receiver tube. This hitch is going to have a 5,000 pound trailer weight. That's the weight of the trailer and the cargo loaded on the trailer.

Since this is a front mounted hitch, it's going to have a 9,000 pound straight line weight. Keep in mind that that is rolling weight. It's not dragging 9,000 pounds.Now that we've gone over some of the features, let's go over how to get this installed together. To start our installation, we're going to remove our factory tow hook. The instructions say 12 millimeter, but on this particular model it's a 17.

So, we're going to go ahead and loosen these 17 millimeter bolts.Once your tow hooks are removed, it might be a good idea to grab an extra set of hands to help hold the hitch up. We will be putting our tow hooks underneath of our hitch and reinstalling the factory hardware.After getting our hardware loosely installed, I'm going to go back in and tighten it all down.After getting our hardware tightened down, I'm going to go back in and torque it down. The torque specs will be listed in your instructions.After your hardware's torqued down, you're good to go. That's going to do it for a look at and installation of the Curt front mount trailer hitch on a '19 Toyota Sequoia..

Shipping was fast and packaged good with no scratches.
I modified my 2010 Tundra skid pan for oil filter changes before mounting.
Replaced all 4 OEM tow ring bolts using anti-seize with new longer M12-1.25 X 40MM class 10.9 zinc finished hex cap screws along with new M12 X 24MM OD HARD WASHERS and torqued all 4 to 79 ft/lbs. Mounted new Thule EasyFold XT 2 Hitch Bike Rack and it fits in front without using the hitch extension.
All went together as planned and can now take E-Bikes with us while pulling our camper. We are happy campers!

2014 ToyotaTundra

I bought and installed the front hitch to my 2014 Toyota Tundra because I did not want to use my travel trailer's rear bumper. The 2014 Toyota Tundra has a skid plate that has to be removed for oil changes and this front hitch installed would also have to be removed each time the oil is changed. I decided to cut a square hole in the skid plate allowing access to the oil filter so that the skid plate along with the front hitch would not have to be removed to get to the oil filter.
The skid plate has 5 bolts and 3 screws and drops down for oil changes. To completely remove the skid plate after removing the bolts and screws you have to hold the skid plate and move it to the drivers side to unhook two hooks which are "L" shape facing the same way towards the passengers side. Do not leave the skid plate off because too many hoses and lines will be exposed and can be damaged while driving.
It took me less than 20 minutes to install the front hitch and I also bought a Hitch Extender for a 2" Trailer Hitch 7" which made the hitch come even with the front bumper on my 2014 Toyota Tundra.
I bought several other accessories to go with the front hitch which I can use when needed. I did buy this hitch mainly to use to carry my 2 beach cruiser bikes and it works perfect.
Now all I have to do is insert the bike carrier into the receiver hitch and load the bikes and I am off with no worries about the bikes being in the rear of my travel trailer or trying to keep them steady in the bed of my Tundra.
The bikes look really good in front of my Tundra and my driving view is not blocked at all with the bikes on. With the 7 inch extender the bikes are nowhere near the truck and with the Anti-rattle with lock on the 7" trailer hitch receiver there is no swaying while on the road or on the freeway at any speed. Thanks etrailer.

Do you use any type of strap from the body of the bike rack back to the hood for stabilizing the bikes while on the road? I do not know where such a strap would be secured but I have seen some tuck them under the hood and close the hood on the end of the strap thereby securing the strap that runs from the rack under the hood lid. Does this question makes sense? Maybe such a support straps would not be required with this setup.My Tundra is a 2012 and I am assuming the skid plate is similar to yours. My bike rack looks to be much the same style as in your pics.Thanks.

Alex 8.

8/17/2015

Mike F.I dont think a strap for this type of bike rack would be needed. Even though I did use a rachet strap and made the connection from the tow hooks to the bike rack to keep it from bouncing at one time. Except for that one time I have never had to use a strap at all. Also use an Anti-Rattle Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock to keep the connection secure and tight. I make sure the bolts to the hitch and the hitch extender adapter are tighten to the fullest and the velcro straps that go around the bike tire rims are tight and secured. The hooks that go down on the bike frame are pushed down and then tighten. I have traveled throughout California with these bikes and never had a problem. Of course I always check the connections. I bought several bolts and washers for the hooks to tighten in case the bolts strips which has happened twice.Alex

Thanks for the follow up Alex. Please also keep in mind that using a hitch extender will reduce the capacity of the hitch by 50 percent.

Alex- can you tell me what other parts extension, lock, etc you purchased from e-trailer for your application. I just received this unit from them. Also, how did you cut the hole for oil filter removal? Would a Dremel tool work for this? Thank you for any assistance you can provide..Thank you, Terry .

Terry K. I also bought a Hitch Extender for a 2 Trailer Hitch 7 which made the hitch come even with the front bumper on my 2014 Toyota Tundra. I bought several other accessories to go with the front hitch which was the Anti-rattle with lock on the 7 trailer hitch receiver there is no swaying while on the road.For your question onhow did you cut the hole for oil filter removal? Would a Dremel tool work for this?I guess a dremel would work but what I used was a metal snip cutter. I bought one at home depot for about $9.00 and to start the cut I drilled a large hole at the corner of the square to be cut and then I just snipped along the square like a pair of scissors. I then filed the opening and on the square metal piece I also bought drilled several holes as I attached it to the skid plate.

2011 ToyotaTundra

bought this for my 2011 tundra, I launch my boat (5500 lbs) at a private ramp where a front mount hitch is pretty much required due to the tight access. Anyway this mounts to the front frame between the factory tow hooks on the 07-12 tundras. Does not take any time at all to install it. It weighs 29 lbs according to my scale. . It does not hang down any lower than the TRD Package steel skid plate, so I liked that. It looks plenty strong for just about any towing/launching activity I can think of with my truck.

You may need a 6-8 inch hitch extension to mound your receiver. But I would rather have to use an extension then have the hitch. itself stick out any farther forward. You may have to remove it to do an oil change, not sure yet, either way, no big deal.

Pete

David or anyone!Nice writeup and photo to help us in this purchase. Can you tell me if you had to remove the hitch to complete an oil change sir? It looks like you need to remove the hitch to get the skid plate off, but wasnt sure. Thanks,Pete

This front reciever will need to be removed to do an oil change. The 2 toyota dealers that have worked on my tundra did not have a problem removing it. They did not charge me any more for an oil change.

Remember that the hardware included with hitches is usually torque-to-yield, TTY. This means that the hardware is only meant to be torqued once. If removed, the hardware should be discarded and replaced. The instructions do specify a 4 inch hole to be cut that allows easy access for oil changes. Its at the top of the pages in an in-set diagram. Its an easier solution than removing each time and it doesnt significantly reduce the protection the shield provides.



by: Steve 05/07/2024

Primarily bought the front receiver hitch to haul our 2 e-bikes. Did that because it was easier than hauling them inside our camper. And didn’t trust them bouncing around on the back bumper of the camper. Hauled the bikes that way on several camping trips. Easy as pie and I could keep an eye on them the whole trip.

Fit perfectly with tow hooks on my 2016 Tundra. Had my mechanic install it and cut the hole in the skid plate. The receiver is shown with the Kuat Hi/Lo hitch extender and a bike rack.

We chose the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver so we could safely transport our RAD electric bikes while also pulling our travel trailer.
We had it professionally installed onto the front of our Toyota Tundra and it has worked out very well!
We are very pleased, and glad that we have it!



by: Kevin04/29/2024
2017 ToyotaTundra

The receiver was easy to install on my 2017 Tundra. I used a 4” hole saw to cut a hole to provide access to the oil filter. I carefully measured for the location of the hole as the drawing provided appeared to place the hole on the passenger side of the truck although the actual location is the driver’s side. Also, the instructions called for “return the tow hooks to the customer” for 2017 models, but I installed them just fine. That must have referred to a different Toyota model.

2010 ToyotaTundra

I got this receiver for the front of my 2010 Toyota Tundra pickup truck so that I could mount a Fishin Mate beach cart on the front of the truck when my travel trailer is hooked up to the rear receiver. The Curt front receiver is all I hoped it would be. I have used it for a year now, having made one trip from my home in Virginia to Cape Cod, and another trip to Florida. For a two months stay in Florida, I used the cart on the front or rear receiver several times a week. The Curt front receiver is of the highest quality. It was simple to install. You take two bolts each out of each of the two front tow hooks mounted on the front of the frame, hold up the receiver to line up with the holes in the frame, hold up the tow hooks back to their position one at a time, and reinsert the original bolts. (Simply put, the receiver is inserted between the tow hooks and frame.). The first time I installed it, it did only take the twenty minutes or so that people say it does. I have chosen to not cut a hole in my skid plate under the engine, so when I change the crankcase oil and filter I have to remove the Curt receiver and skid plate every time. It takes some time, but I'm okay with that. It's that easy. I am 72 years old, and don't have the strength I used to have, so I can't manhandle the receiver and skid plate, but instead balance them on the cradle of a floor jack and finesse them into place. I've got the knack of it, and it goes well. I did not get a riser bar to elevate the cargo from the height of the receiver, so my cart carrier goes straight out the front. It is close to the road, but not so close as to have ever scraped going in and out of gas stations. I remain aware of it and am careful. The Curt receiver has traveled thousands of miles over a year now, has been off and back on twice for oil changes, has remained new looking, and has met all my expectations. E-Trailer, as always, remains the best internet shopping business I have ever dealt with.

Installation was easy, even for one person (and the help of a lift). The hardest part was removing the skid plate from the Tundra. Couldn't be happier.

It’s been perfect. Modifying the skid plate so it doesn’t have to be removed for oil changes was the best idea. The hitch makes hauling an extra cooler and fishing rods so much more convenient.



by: Bee01/02/2020
2011 ToyotaTundra

Installing was a breeze. I used a floor jack to hold out up while screw the bolts in. Done in 15mins. Looking at other pictures I see, it looks like it was fairly low to the ground but in reality, it's not as low as the pictures make it look. I have no use for it now but future plan is front tray and maybe a plow. The finish is very nice. I cut a removable filter access in my skid plate instead of leaving a big gapping hole. It's a very nice hitch to have.



by: ‘Los08/04/2021

This is my second purchase of this product. etrailer shipment was fast and delivered ahead of scheduled. Easy fit and installation. I did modify OEM engine plate for future engine oil service.

Great for moving airplanes with my truck! It's harder to do than a maneuverable tug that's designed for this task, but I CAN do it. I have a Cessna 310 which I can't push myself without help. Anyone with a heavy airplane should get one of these.

Fitment is perfect. Installation is really quick (10 minutes) and easy on my 2007 Toyota Tundra. It helps to have friend hold it in place when running the bolts in.



by: Bruce04/15/2019

Simply the best way to maneuver your trailer into tight places you can see everything. Because it’s on the front end of your truck excellent product excellent quality thank you E trailer.

by: Paul 06/13/2024

If you can use a ratchet, it is a very easy install.



by: Ty01/24/2023

The hitch is great and was easy to install. My problem came when I went for an oil change.
The mechanic said he would have to remove the hitch to then remove the skid plate so he could get to the oil filter and plug.
I have not reinstalled it since then. I’ve been researching a work around like cutting a little door or hole into the skid plate to facilitate future oil changes.
Still trying to figure it out.
If you buy this hitch, keep this in mind.

Not yet. Was going to ask the advice of my mechanic the next time I get the oil changed.

Had my mechanic install, they had to cut a hole in my Tundra front skid plate so we could have continuous access to the oil filter. Can't remove the skid plate without removing the front hitch. Needed to get an 8 inch hitch extender to attach our Kuat bike rack. Used it several times and everything works well. Thanks, Chris.....

Untested, thus 4 stars for the product. Fitment was perfect, although 20-45 min install goal is a bit lofty for an older truck that has been off-road and has some rust. New rig-easily achievable time windows.

etrailer gets 5 though. I liked that the shipping cost that is associated with the free shipping was applied to my expedited shipping. Shipped very quickly.

  • Availability of High Rise 2 Inch Trailer Ball For Moving Trailer With Front Mounted Receiver
  • It sounds as if the Curt # C40034 high rise trailer ball is what you're looking for. This is a 2 inch ball with a 2 inch rise. The Curt # D-28 is a pretty long ball mount, the hitch pin hole to the closest portion of the ball platform is 8-1/4 inches, as shown in the provided diagram. You can measure from the hitch pin hole out to the closest edge of the bumper to see if the D-28 would provide enough clearance.

  • Front Hitch Recommendation for a 2013 Toyota Tundra for Bike Rack
  • Front hitches like the Curt part # 31198 which has been confirmed as a fit for your 2013 Toyota Tundra can be used for carrying bike racks but they really aren't an ideal solution as this can block headlights, air flow to radiator, and license plate visibility. But if this is your only option it can be made to work. That being said, the Curt hitch # 31198 when installed on a similar 2014 Toyota Tundra had more than enough clearance for installing a bike rack without needing a hitch

The other front receiver option that fits your truck, # 65080, requires removal of the skid plate so it would not be an issue unless you wanted to keep the ski plate..

The hitch is rated for 9,000 lbs. For an entry level 9,500 lb winch I would recommend the Superwinch Tiger Shark Series Off-Road Winch # SW1595200. For a much quicker winch that will feed the wire cable in almost twice as fast I would recommend the Superwinch Talon Series Off-Road Winch # SW1695200.
