Specs:
Draw-Tite's Tested Tough program provides testing standards far superior to those outlined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the go-to source for engineering professionals.
Each Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver undergoes extensive fatigue testing and static testing with the ball mount that is either supplied or recommended for use with that particular hitch, thus ensuring results that are applicable to real life use. Fatigue testing is also conducted on hitches rated for use with weight-distribution systems.
In addition, Draw-Tite performs static testing on a simulated automobile, as opposed to the rigid fixture used for SAE testing, resulting in a more true-to-life scenario.

Easily attach a variety of accessories to the front of your vehicle with this fully welded, corrosion-resistant trailer hitch receiver. Perfect for winches, spare tire carriers and more.was sent a hitch for a 4 wheel drive when I ordered a hitch for a 2 wheel drive and company wants to charge $xx.xx to return after sending the wrong hitch. after contacting Nicole in chat mode she says they don't carry the 2 wheel drive hitch. so my only choice is to eat $xx.xx to return a defective product that did not fit my 1998 ford F-150 light duty 2 wheel drive
The trailer hitch itself is well made and overall excellent quality. The only reason it didn't get 5-stars is the same reason mentioned by many others. The directions leave something to be desired. A couple of extra diagrams would have made the job easier to figure out. That said, it was about a 2-hour install. One detail for my 2002 F-150, I would recommend removing the plastic bumper skirt. The extra 15-20 min to remove and reinstall it will save a significant amount of struggle trying to jam bolts and wires through the front of the frame rail, install spacers, and make the install much easier. Also, having an extra person to help hold the hitch in place while installing the bolts will make the job smoother. You can do it yourself, it's just more work and struggle. Overall, a great product. I'd buy it again.
The hitch is working out fine,it's what you need up in the Badlands. See Attachment as picked up on the trail Cam. I can hook it on to the rear hitch if needed also.

The hitch is working just fine . It is always mounted on the truck and it get a lot of recognition,folks are impressed that I can operate the winch both front the front as well as the rear of the truck.
Seems like a very stout hitch. Straight forward installation with all necessary hardware including pull wire. The hitch will add versatility as I can add inserts to carry cargo on the front, move trailers, and eventually support a portable winch.
Installed on 2001 F150. Good product, easy to install, I did it in less than 1 hour. Directions list several wrenches needed, however all that was needed for this hitch was a 3/4" size. I used spacers on one side only, as I had about 1/4" gap total between hitch and frame. For those not familiar with the bolt pulling wires, feed the bolt end through the hole and out the box frame and then place the square backup spacer/washer and then screw carriage bolt onto the wire. Pull this into the box beam/frame and pull through the frame hole and the hitch.
I just finished installing my e-trailer front mount hitch on my 2002 F150 2WD it was painless exactly as described I'm very happy with the installation.
This is my third hitch purchase from e-trailer in the last several years I will purchase again quick delivery is great.
It was exactly as described assuming the weight specs are true. I am glad I discovered this product because I didn't want to cut into my bumper. Although, it is lower than I liked, it's not the fault of the product. I will, however, remedy that by adding a riser.
Exact fit. This was installed for winch mount for a 2000 F 150 . Extremely well built and very strong
Perfect fit! Fast shipping and excellent communication! Officially ready for winter!
Great quality and everything supplied for a complete install. Inserting the bolts and plates into the frame is a little tight, considered removing the bumper but I was by myself.
A bit difficult to install by myself (it's heavy to lift while also putting bolts!) but I eventually got it on and it seems very sturdy. Since the instructions apply to a lot of different trucks there were a few places where I had to think a bit to figure out how they applied to my situation but in all cases once I figured out what to do I found the instructions had the info I had needed.

Still working great. I put a winch on this and have hauled many very heavy objects with no issues.
I had a hard time finding a front bumper trailer hitch for my 1999 Ford F-150 locally. After searching the internet I found etrailers. I called and the etrailer employee did additional research for me and found what I needed. Product was shipped and received in a time manner. I would rate them as an excellent business to do business with. Very professional and efficient. Good Job. Keep us the good work.
Received the Reciver Hitch on Wednesday, it took only 3 days to Idaho. So on Thursday afternoon installed it, only took 3 hours. The instructions were simple and direct, even the statement about the skid plated may need to be trimed. So on Friday put it to the test. Had to put a new 21 foot Hews Craft into covered storage, with only 4 inches on either side. It was quick and easy. I am very pleased and highly recommend this product and etrailer.com.

This is a high quality hitch I installed it on a ford f 150 2 wheel drive.
I had a quarter inch gap on either side so used the supplied spacers
Once I decided to cut a notch in the spacer so I could put the bolt in first and then drop the spacer in, the install was quick and easy my Wife and I installed it laying on the ground and were in our seventies!
The Front Mount Trailer Hitch mounting bracket holes precisely matched the holes in the frame of the truck. No guesswork, no alterations required and a minimal amount of swearing.
Ordered the front hitch on 2001 f 150, received it in about four days undamaged, had to remove bottom portion below bumper , easy installation fit perfectly recommend taking to mechanic with lift took about one hour. Fit as advertised. Quality product and service. Recommend these guys
