Wonderful, easy install

2016 Ford F-350 Super Duty

The quality and fit is exceptional. So much so that this is the third hitch assembly I've purchased and installed. This one was for my brother in-laws 1999 F350. I also put a 10k winch on a slider that works perfectly with this assembly. Other vehicles I purchased and installed assemblies on are a 2011 F350 and a 2016 Class C motorhome. Very happy.



by:

Great receiver. Didn't actually fit my truck's front bumper, but I was able to make some spacers to get it mounted. Works great for the mounting spot for a rig that holds my kayak on top of the truck.



by:
2004 Ford F-350 Super Duty

I installed this on my 2004 F350 super duty. The install was straight forward and for the most part easy. I did have a hard time getting the nuts on the top bolts even with the handles on them just from lack of space, but got them on there and it looks clean.



by:

Well built. Good hardware included. Not a perfect fit. Definitely required some additional drilling and fabrication. Budget some extra time.



by:

Just as expected. Makes your bumper stick out about a 14 inch further but you cant really tell without carefull inspection.



by:

Installed the front hitch to carry my motorcycle. Works great.



by:

Very good product and easy to install.

Very easy ordering, communication, shipping! Pricing very reasonable! We will order again if needed! Thank you!

  • Do Fog Lights on 2002 Ford F-350 have to be Removed to Install a Front Mount Trailer Hitch
    To install the Curt front mount trailer hitch # 31114 the fog lights on your 2002 Ford F-350 will have to be either removed permanently or relocated. But you can install Curt front mount hitch # C31014 and keep the OEM fog lights. I have linked instructions for both hitches for you.

  • Front Mount Hitch Fit for a 2005 Ford F-350 Super Duty
    The front mount trailer hitch I recommend for your 2005 Ford F-350 is the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 31114 because it is made in the USA and currently our most cost effective option for a front mount hitch. I called Curt and they were not sure of where you were measuring to get a 37" frame but if you measure the distance between the two innermost mounting points (see photo) on the front end plate of your frame rail, you should get 31" and if you do the above will work...

  • Front Hitch for 2003 Ford Excursion With Blocker Beam
    The instructions for both of the front-mounted hitches that are a fit for your 2003 Ford Excursion, the Draw-Tite # 65022 and Curt # 31114 reference the blocker beam, saying you'll need to remove and then reinstall it when putting on either hitch. This means, of course, that these hitches are not direct replacements for the blocker beam but either could still be installed.

  • Comparison Between Draw-Tite # 65022 and Curt # 31114 Front Mount Receivers for 1999 Ford F250
    The primary difference between the Draw-Tite # 65022 and the Curt # 31114 is that they're manufactured by two different companies. The hitches are nearly identical in appearance, have the same weight ratings and would install in the same manner. Because of this, you can choose the less expensive Draw-Tite model, and not feel that you sacrificed anything. If you click the provided link, you can see an install video for the Draw-Tite model.

  • Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver for 2003 Ford F-250 Super Duty
    While we do have a front-mounted trailer hitch receiver that fits a 2003 Ford F-250, the part model you asked about will not fit as it doesn't have the correct dimensions to line up with your truck and there are no brackets that will allow this. So for a front-mount hitch on your F-250 you can choose from a few different options, and I'll add some fit notes you'll want to be aware of for a couple of them. - Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65022 - Curt Front Mount Trailer...

    The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # C31014 will fit your 1999 Ford F-250 2WD if it has a blocker beam, which will be removed for installation. Blocker beam is a small sub-bumper located behind the air dam. If you don't have the blocker beam, then you will use the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # 31114. This hitch will not work on vehicles that have the blocker beam. This hitch requires relocating the factory fog lights which the other...

  • 2000 Ford F-250 Super Duty Front Hitch Receiver Recommendation
    Aside from brand name the Curt Front Hitch # 31114 and Draw-Tite Front Hitch # 65022 are virtually the same for your 2000 Ford F-250 Super Duty - usually in this case it boils down to brand-loyalty for the end-user. If you don't have a preference then I recommend going with the Curt. The powder coat on Curt hitches tends to be a little thicker which gives it a slight edge in protection against the elements. You can choose to reuse the factory license plate holder when you aren't utilizing...

  • Will Curt Front-Mount Hitch 31114 Fit 2003 Ford 550 Four Wheel Drive
    Curt front-mount trailer hitch # 31114 will fit the 2003 Ford F-550 cab-and-chassis but it will NOT fit the F-550 Super-Duty pickup. No front hitches are offered for the F-550 pickup. Curt hitch # 31114 does require some drilling for installation and it will also require you to remove/relocate the OEM fog lights. We also offer a similar front hitch from Draw-Tite, part # 65022, whose installation is shown in the linked video.

    If you do not have the blocker bar or sub-bumper behind the air dam, the Draw-Tite # 65022 would a good choice for your 2000 F250. According to the installation instructions, the tow hooks are temporarily removed but are re-installed later in the process. The Curt front mount receiver, part # 31114 will also work. It is nearly identical and would install in the same manner. I have provided a photo showing what the receiver would look like once installed.

    The front hitch designed for your 2002 Ford Excursion is the Curt Hitch, part # 31114. This is a custom fit hitch and has a 2 inch receiver opening. I called my contact at Curt and they told me they were not aware of a blocker beam being installed on an Excursion. They did tell me that the front mount hitch # 31114 would bolt to the brackets for the springs and the blocker beam would attach to the underside of the front mount hitch. They told me it would bolt into place like the 31014...

  • Front Mount Trailer Hitch Options for a 2005 Ford Excursion
    We currently offer two front mount receiver options for a 2005 Ford Excursion; # 31114 and # 65022. Please note that with either, if the vehicle has the optional OEM fog lights they must be removed or relocated for receiver installation. I have linked instructions for both receivers for you. As far as where to buy one of these receivers the best place would be right here at etrailer! Current pricing is available on the product pages for each item.

  • Front Mounted Receiver for Motorcycle Carrier on 2001 Ford F350
    Two designs of front mounted hitch are available for the 2001 Ford F350. One mounts to the front of the frame members, and the receiver tube would extend through the bumper like the Draw-Tite # 65022 or the Curt # 31114. These hitches only fit vehicles without a secondary bumper or blocker beam. The other hitch, the Curt # C31014 mounts under the bumper. The Curt hitch will only fit certain vehicles, those that have the blocker beam located behind the air dam. I'll link you to the install...

  • Front-Mount Hitch For Winch On 2001 Ford F-250 Truck With Blocker Beam
    I spoke with my contact at Curt and asked about your 2001 Ford F-250 truck. They told me that the reason for the difference in fit is due to the blocker beam that is installed on the truck. You actually purchased the correct front mounted hitch, part # C31014, if your truck has the front bumper bar. They told me that due to the bar, the hitch will be mounted in a different manner and the receiver will be below the bumper, not through the middle of the bumper like part # 31114.

  • Front Mount Trailer Hitch and Light Bar Recommendation for a 1999 Ford F-250
    The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch, # 31114, that you referenced will fit your 1999 Ford F-250. If you have OEM fog lights, they must be removed because they will interfere with the front mount hitch. All of the light bars we offer for your 1999 F-250 are roof mounted light bars like part # CARR210701. The Gutterless Mount Kit, # CARR220052, is also required to mount a light bar to your truck.

  • How to Pick out a Front Mount Hitch for a 1999 Ford F350
    The difference between the Curt Hitch # C31014 and Curt Hitch # 31114 is that the # C31014 is designed for vehicles with blocker beams and the # 31114 is designed for vehicles without the blocker beam. You will want to look under the front end of your 1999 Ford F350 to see if you have a blocker beam and order the correct front hitch for your vehicle. If you get under the front of your vehicle and see an L-shaped bracket attached to a beam that runs from one frame rail to the other you...

  • Recommended Front Mount Hitch for 2021 Ford F-150 Hybrid
    For your 2021 Ford F-150 Hybrid I recommend the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2" # C31083. This is confirmed to fit all models, including your Hybrid. This hitch has a maximum line pull of 9,000 lbs and the maximum vertical load is 500 lbs. It sounds like you have the active grill shutter system, which will not be a problem when installing the hitch. If you have the active air dam, there is not a front hitch that will fit your vehicle.

  • Available Front Mount Trailer Hitch Options for a 2000 Ford Excursion
    The only available front mount trailer hitch options we can confirm fit on a 2000 Ford Excursion is the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 65022 and Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 31114. Unfortunately, we are not able to confirm fit of any other trailer via modifying as this would void the warranty of the hitch.

  • Front Hitch Recommendation for a 2001 Ford F350
    Both the Draw Tite Hitch part # 65022 and the Curt Front Hitch part # 31114 are confirmed to fit your 2001 Ford F350, both will install the same and will have the same capacities. The Draw Tite has more reviews and they were all positive, so based on that and the fact that it costs a little less that's the route I would go. I attached an install video for you to check out.

  • Correct Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch for a 2004 Ford F-350

  • Why is Curt Front HItch 31114 Difficult to Install on 1999 Ford F350 Super Duty 4x4
    Our contact at Curt Manufacturing said that it sounds like you have a blocker beam on your 99 F350 Super Duty 4x4. A blocker beam is a 3 inch by 1 inch steel bar that mounts underneath the frame on the front of the vehicle and could be the reason your hitch will not mount correctly. In that case you would need a Curt Front Hitch for the 1999 Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty part # C31014. However, if your truck is a cab and chassis model this hitch will not work either.

  • Does Blocker Beam of 2006 Ford F-350 Dictate Which Front Hitch Fits
    This is correct. If you have the Blocker Beam on your 2006 Ford F-350 you will need to use the Draw Tite hitch # 65022 or if not you'd need the # 31114. The blocker beam is a small sub-bumper behind air dam.

    I do have a front mount trailer hitch receiver for your 2004 Ford F-250 but the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C31071 is only confirmed to fit GM vehicles. For a front mount trailer hitch receiver that will fit your truck, I recommend using the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 31114. As long as you do not have the front blocker bar then this trailer hitch will work well for you. I have attached an installation video of this hitch installed on a similar 2006...

  • Front Hitch that Fits 2004 Ford F-350
    I have a solution but the EcoHitch that you referenced does not fit your 2004 Ford F-350 as it fits newer Ford trucks and not yours. Instead the Curt hitch part # 31114 would be the option that I would recommend. It installs easily and has great weight capacities.

  • Do Fog Lights Have to Be Removed to Install Front Hitch # 31114
    It isn't ideal to have to remove the factory fog lights to install the front hitch part # 31114 that you referenced, but since their location is the best place for mounting this hitch there unfortunately isn't a better solution. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.
