Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - 2"

This thing is well built, it fit perfect, This will come in handy for my needs. Instructions are very clear. If I was to rate the install on a 1 to 10 scale it would be a 5. Fishing the bolts thru the frame with the wire provided was much easier than I expected. I do recommend this hitch.1772983

the install went very good but i do have one suggestion and see if your maker can put a notch in the middle hole to look like the tow hook it would make the install way more user friendly also had a little problem with one of your bolts after i had fished it down the hole the treads were burred and the nut wouldn't go on all the way so i had to fish it back out what a pain that was but got it done and replaced with one of the other bolts that you supplied me with and it went on great. now i have a ? about the hitch height mine only sits up at about 11 inches and change will that work with your snowplows that say they need 13 inches or will i have to do something different? but thanks for the great turn around time in getting it here quick.864828

This thing has been just fine. It's been a great mount for my winch. Only problem is I've been too lazy to put my bumper back on.. :)399847

Well made and easy to install. All of the necessary parts were included and the video on the product page made it a breeze to install. Working on my driveway with no lift. I am 73 and used a floor jack to lift it and hold it in place until the first two bolts were in place.1684521

This hitch mounted up in less then 10 minutes. I love it and it looks great. 144205

It has been a good send for moving a trailer around especially in close surrounding1687865

this item bent down to a point that the receiver part is barely off the ground. i contacted you guys and you told me that this was because of the plow itself and was not built strong enough to hold plow up during plowing. very disappointed with this since you sold me both items. cannot plow with it like that. i sent you pictures but you seemed not interested.1398519

Please keep in mind this hitch is designed for only 500 lbs of vertical load. Most plows weigh close to 300 lbs without the weight of the snow.

The hitch seems to be excellent. I have not yet been able to install it because the bolts, etc supplied with the hitch are useless because there is no way to insert them through the frame rails due to the slot id too small to accept the bolts. I am tempted to use the factory bolts, but I am fearful of allowing the factory nut assembly to slide away from the holes making them inaccessible.
I think the better application would be to supply and use stud bolts which would allow installation without risk of inaccessible nuts inside the frame rails. This is what I intend to do when I can purchase the studs 673596

I did want to let you know that this front mount hitch is designed to use a fishwire technique where you route a wire through other holes in the vehicle frame, and attach the correct hardware, then pull the wire back through to place the hardware in the correct location for installation. We do have a an installation video on a similar vehicle for your reference, I have provided a link to this video and the installation instructions for your reference.

I purchased the Front Mount Trailer Hitch because of the tricky parking of my trailer. It has performed flawlessly - if you call saving our marriage while using it to park the trailer by the side of the house. Haven't had to call a divorce lawyer yet!

The hitch was a snap to install using the clever install 'wire' to place the bolts in the exact position. I'm getting old and don't get up and down to easily but installing this hitch was done before I broke a sweat.

Excellent product with easy install - a complete win.990141

This is a great quality hitch that was easy to mount. Probably would help to have a buddy help hold it in place while mounting, but it wasnt that hard by myself. I finished in less than 1/2 hour and It didnt require any modifications to my 04 F-150 s-crew Lariot 4x4. Its nice to have the option to push a trailer from the front if its ever necessary, but that wasnt my motive for purchasing. I bought it to hold a bike rack and possibly a small motorcycle when towing our travel trailer. Works great, but if you have something extended out low in front of your truck, like a cargo rack, or tires from those 3 bikes, always remember they are there and drive accordingly. Even approaching a steep driveway can be a potential issue depending on your rack design and specific situation. Clearance should not be an issue for average light duty users. Great product and fast shipping from etrailer.com.76630

Good price super fast shipping. Took longer to get the truck on the ramps and get the tools ready than it did to put in on. Very easy to install and the video is helpful. time to install it was about 15 min.222693

I like to tackle these kind of DIY projects but often find myself in over my head. Fortunately I have a couple of friends who bail me out without too much grief. This trailer mount arrived before I expected -nice- and I figured it would be a couple evenings work. One to remove the current fasteners and tow hooks and the second to reinstall w the mount. To my great surprise I had everything done in about two hours. It went together exactly as the video showed and there were no, none, zilch issues. The heads of the fasteners on my truck were 15mm and reusing them was easy. And I did not have to trim the plastic under my bumper!
Great job etrailer.com, thank you!!!!181123

Well I got time today (6/22/2013) to put this front hitch on to my 2008 F-150. The installation was simple. The only trouble was the Bumper. I Had to take it off but that really wasn’t That bad. The only thing is that the Hitch hangs too low. It is the lowest thing on my truck now. I would like it if it was welded to the top of the cross member instead of under the cross member then I would have needed to cut a hole in my bumper but that would be OK with me. This is a nicely made product and good welds. It will work just fine just wish it was not so low.85561

It arrived in 2 days-a day earlier than expected.A nice hitch indeed.The powder coat was thick and it looked sharp-heavy duty quality for sure.I haven't installed it yet-but it should be a breeze with just 6 bolts to put inI'll be back for more goodies!29648

Where is it made?

Curt hitch, part # 31352 is made in the USA.

Fit the truck perfectly. Shipped quickly and in strong packaging. All the necessary parts were included. The video on the website was awesome and made the install so much easier. I ordered a separate hitch for my car from another company since it was a few dollars cheaper and I am still waiting for it.
I will be (and would recommend) sticking with etrailer in the future.

I can't say enough about how great this hitch was packaged. Nice box, no rattling parts. Installed in about an hour on driveway. Everything went together smoothly. This is a front mount hitch for my F150. I can now use my hitch mount winch on front and rear. This is my 2nd or 3rd purchase from etrailer, would recommend to anyone.389960

This product is perfect. Took longer to get my tools out then it did to bolt the hitch to my 2008 F-150. Everything fit first time, without modification. Didn't even need to get out my big hammers! The glossy paint job looks really nice too.

I ordered the hitch and it arrived the next day! Spooky. Almost supernatural like customer service. If the shipping had been any faster it would have arrived before I ordered it! Their web site is massive. Any outfit that puts that much time and money into a web site is serious about doing it right. etrailer.com is definitely a keeper. 32224

Worked perfect for my application, I use it to mount a motorcycle rack on the front of the truck so I can also pull my travel trailer!285229

Still working out great!

I began searching for a front mount trailer hitch receiver and went to a couple of RV supply stores to inquire. The cheapest store was Camping World which I am a Good Sam Member. Their Member price was $199.00 + $16.92 Tax plus Shipping charge between $49 To $69. Worst case would have been $284.92 and I would have to pick it up at their Store. I went online and found the exact same receiver at etrailer.com For $159.00 total price. No Tax and free shipping to my door. It was delivered 4 days later. Easy installation & great service! I just placed another order from them for an excessory I wanted. I highly recommend E TRAILER.COM first for any RV or Sports equipment you need.172817

With this monster trailer I have, the front hitch is the only way I can get the trailer back into its parking spot. Great purchase and was a piece of cake to install.
Thanks for asking 542846

It was relatively easy to install the hitch but really should be a two person job to get it up but I used a couple of bottle jacks to keep it in place until I got the bolts in. On a lift it would be a snap getting it done. I really like being able to push my boat or utility trailer rather than pull. I don't have a large turn-around area so this makes it so much easier to maneuver them. Extremely glad I bought this.

The product looks to fit and has all hardware and full instructions. The packing was not great being the whole one side of the hitch was sticking out of the box but is undamaged and all screws and hardware where taped up securely to the hitch. Have not installed it yet but again looks easy enough. I would Def refer a friend in fact I will be ordering another for my friend. Wanted to see this first to make sure it was right. Great product!!!!!! 219860

etrailer has done it again with a replacement for my front hitch that was bent in a curb collision. Great price and super fast shipping. Thanks again!423419
