Easily attach a variety of accessories to the front of your vehicle with this corrosion-resistant trailer hitch receiver. Perfect for winches, spare tire carriers and more.The hitch came packaged in a double box. The outer box had some damage but the hitch did not.
I read the instructions, making sure i had the correct tools, and jacked my truck up.
The install took three hours as i was layiing on my back with simple hand tools.
The parts all fit and i am happy with the outcome. Good price, simple instructions, good fit.
Excellent product. Always pleased with Curt products. Quality built with easy to install video provided by etrailer. Shout out to Alex at etrailer for getting me the exact fit for my 2007 Chevy Silverado. Good job etrailer. Received with 4 days of order placement
I bought the Curt front hitch for the purpose to haul my Honda Generator on the Torklift Lock and Load in front of my 2009 Chevy Silverado. The installation is self explanatory, but I still watched the video provided by e-trailer, and it made it that much easier to put in. Especially by myself. It works perfectly for the purpose I bought it for.
High quality product. Good instructions and all the necessary parts. Had to buy a 21mm socket and use a racket strap to pull stabilizing bar back a little to reach hole in frame but no big deal.

After a season of plowing snow in Alaska my hitch is as good as new. It’s a lighter duty plow don’t still went through some abuse this last winter. No regrets on my purchase.
This product fit my needs perfectly. I purchased this hitch to mount a bicycle rack to the front of my pickup truck as I did not want to add weight to the back of my camp trailer on the flimsy bumper that is standard, and did not want to spend a fortune on a hitch that needed drilled or welded to my camp trailer. I looked at several options, and this appeared to be the best choice. With the video instructions and an hour of time, I had this hitch installed and bicycle rack in place. This product was relatively easy to install, and will suit my needs very well. Thank you etrailer!
I have a "new body" Silverado, so I had to return the first hitch and get this one. Even with the VIN, etrailer wasn't sure which one I needed. Once identified, the other was returned and this one was shipped fast (as usual). The video for the install help didn't include the big square hole "spacer", which must go along with the bolt inside the frame. This doesn't stop the bolt from spinning anyway, but it tightened up fine. I DID have to use a die grinder to open up the frame hole about 3/8". Nice hitch, for the new plow.
Ordered for mounting a winch on the front of my Silverado.
Free shipping was appreciated and quite fast. Received it in 3 business days because of my location.
Instructions were included and simple.
Product was well protected and packaged great.
Installation went as well as expected. I had slight alignment difficulty due to a deer committing suicide via my truck this past fall, but that wasn’t the products fault. Took me just over an hour total from setting up to tearing down.
Good quality bolts make for ease of mind.
Overall highly recommend. Great company. Even followed up with an email to make sure everything was good.
Will purchase from then again when needed.
Installed on my 2010 Silverado. Installation video was most helpful. Took about 2 hours to install which could have been shortened if I would have followed directions and not tightened bolts until the end. Product is good and customer service was as well. Would highly recommend.
It was not as easy yo install as the video seems to suggest. I had planned to do it myself with the truck on ramps, but had to get someone with a lift to do it. Once the plates were mounted the main part didn't line up just right and it took more pressure than I could apply while lying on my back. Other than that it is great. Very strong and just what I needed.Thanks.
Almost easy to install, for some reason alignment was difficult with the small bolts. Still not bad. Very happy overall.
Good solid American made product, Good price (I couldn't build it for that) Instructions where good, hour installation w/air tools, shipping was fast and free, all hardware was there (nothing missing). I would order again and would recommend.

All good
Bought this hitch to add a plow to my 1/2ton truck the hitch was delivered with two of the same mounting brackets (passenger side) contacted them about problem and they said we will ship you the right bracket… bracket showed up and it had looked like it was dropped and slid across the pavement with multiple scratches and chips out of the paint. Not the happiest with the product since it’s not even on the truck yet. Over all the hitch it self is built well just horrible handling of products!

I hate that you experienced multiple issues with this order. I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you as quickly as possible.
The questions that you answer about what truck you have do not get all the way to the correct model. So then when you scroll through the available products, it is showing products for different models that dont apply to your truck(like the 1500, 2500, 3500 etc). However, you dont realize this as you just finished putting in the inputs for your vehicles and then of course assume that the list they give you of available products would only include your vehicle since they say "confirmed fit" for your model. They sent me the hitch for the gmc sierra 1500, which does not fit my 2500 GMC and then want me to pay the $50 to send it back. It seems like the designers of the website should have finished the job before they went to lunch. Now I am out the money.

I will have our customer service department reach out to you.
Beauty install. Just had to trim a 2x2inch slot in the air dam under the bumper. Didn't have to touch the facia. You can hardly see the receiver.
No drilling!!!
Curt Front Trailer Hitch arrived quite fast.
The hitch is very sturdy and attaches to the sturdy tow hooks.
The instructional video was very helpful especially for the step where you "fish" a bolt through the front frame rail. Turned out to be simple with the included fishwire. The video was for a 2007 Silverado but it was exactly the same as for my 2010 1500 Silverado.
Best installed with a helper at one point on a lift, but I installed it by myself using a pair of wheel ramps, a creeper, and a small hydraulic jack to lift the hitch into place for fitting and installation.
Why install a front hitch? When maneuvering a trailer in tight quarters, it is hard to do it with the trailer connected to the back of the tow vehicle. You have to keep straight which way to turn the steering wheel and the trailer's turning is slow to respond so you often turn too far and have to start over. With the trailer attached to the front of the vehicle, you can push the trailer into a tight place easily since the trailer responds immediately to steering changes. And, you can easily and immediately see the changes to the trailer's path. And you can also pull the trailer out of a tight path easily.
I grew up on a farm always pulling and pushing trailers into exact spots. I quickly found how great a front end hitch is for maneuvering.
Worked Great easy install
I ordered both the front and rear Curt class 3 hitches for my 2008 Gm sierra. The factory rear hitch had rusted from the inside and had split all the way across. This new hitch is a lot more heavy duty , with thicker metal and the ends are sealed to keep water out. I liked it so much , I ordered this front hitch to use our bicycle rack on front when we pull our camper . Did not know how to carry our bikes until I ran across this hitch on Trailer. I think it will solve our problem . Thanks etrailer !!! Also had best price, got free shipping, prompt service, and excellent customer service !! Will definitely order from them again !!!
Worked well with snowplow
etrailer was awesome as usual. I did have an issue with the product (Curt) having an incorrect part (two right side brackets, no right side bracket) which prevented installation of the receiver, Spoke with Dave at etrailer who initiated a fix for the problem right away. Cudos to Dave and etrailer but one star for Curt.
Seems to be well made but was disappointed in two areas. I'm glad etrailer had a video of the install because the directions provided were very vague. The other issue was the bolt hole on the bracket that bolted to my crossmember didn't line up. I had to take the receiver back off the truck and elongate the hole in the receiver.
Fit between the mounting brackets on my 2008 GMC Sierra 1500 4x4 was a little tight but it bolted up just fine.
Looks very well made.
I removed the lower front air dam ( I didn't like it anyway) & it fit perfectly underneath the bumper & license plate mount.
Will be using the front hitch skid shield with this.

FYI: The air dam is there to help with aerodynamics on the underside of the truck. In short, it helps make the truck more fuel efficient. No harm in removing it if you dont mind burning a bit more fuel.
This will not fit a Sierra GMC 1500 in Denali Trim. Had to pay $xx to return. Disappointed in etrailer and the listing should be updated.
I bought this hitch so I can move my travel trailer better and also to use my bike rack more efficiently. I am going to have my garage install it since I do not have an impact wench to turn the bolts. So I hope this some help Phil

I use the front hitch to transport more than two bikes It is easy to install and load the bikes on.
I purchased a SnowSport 180 from Etrailer and a Curt 2" front mount insert from Etrailer. Everyone and everything concerning these events was excellent and so are the products. I COULDN'T BE MORE SATISFIED!
