We installed a front mount trailer hitch receiever on "grandpa's" truck for his Snowsport Utility Plow and it works GREAT! It's been a year and we expect it to last far past the life of the vehicle!

hitch connected up in less than an hour . The Etrailer gave you a handy little piece of wire which enabled you to fish the washers and bolts threw the frame . Without this piece of wire ,the job would have taken hours

C31063 front hitch for ford ranger 4x4 extended cab.Will this fit my 4x4 ranger?George

Patrick B.

This will fit 1992-2011 Ford Rangers, regardless of drive configuration unless it is Canadian built. There are a few things to be aware of that we have listed as Tech Tips for this hitch: 1. Skid shield must be removed. 2. Hitch will not fit on models with a front cross-member. 3. Hitch does not fit 2WD vehicles built in Canada.

1999 Mazda b4000

I don't usually write reviews, but the installation of this front mount hitch on my 1999 Mazda B4000 was so simple and easy. I was so amazed at the ease of installation and the way it fits and looks I have to brag on it. I installed it the same day I got it in 1 hour with no help and no problems just followed instructions. The wire that was included for installing bolts is ingenious. I used two clamps to lift and hold it in place then enlarge two existing holes and wow the installation was finished. It is heavy duty and well built. I would give it 6 stars if it was allowed. I love it!



by:
2011 Ford Ranger

This front hitch my 2011 Ford Ranger XLT 4x4 fit perfectly and arrived so quickly. Had to remove a front guard, slightly widen two holes in the frame so the bolts would fit, and cut a little into the plastic bottom of the front bumper (looks fine). You can barely tell there is a front hitch when looking at the front. For a $65 install cost, I highly recommend using Uhaul or a professional who can install this well.

instal instructions could be a lot clearer ,for a novice this could be a dificult install , fortunatly for me 25 years as a mechanic made it easier



by:

The service at etrailer was amazing from start to finish. The product purchased works exactly as it was designed and described. Great experience the whole way through. I have been using this for a receiver mounted snow plow and it has showed zero signs of adverse wear or any issues.

I recently bought front hitch for my 2008 Ranger. Hitch fit great and took about an hour to install. I plan on getting a winch for hitch install as it was hard to get a bumper replacement that takes a winch.

Perfect fit on my 2011 Ford Ranger. The installation instructions spot on. I installed the hitch the same day that it was delivered. I will be ordering a snowplow for this front mounted hitch soon.

Fit perfect. Need a 3/4 metal bit to enlarge hole or a dremel tool... took me longer than they said because I broke a couple bits enlarging the hole. I didn't have a big enough drill bit.

  • Do all 2000 Ford Rangers Have a Trailer Hitch
    Sounds like you are referring to a trailer hitch. And no, not all vehicles come from the factory with trailer hitches installed so the one you are selling just may not have ever had one. To see what a trailer hitch looks like that would fit your vehicle check out the Curt hitch part # 13019. I attached a picture of what one looks like.

  • Where Will the Receiver be Once Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch is Installed on 2008 Ford Ranger
    Installation of Curt front mount trailer hitch # C31063 will actually require some trimming of front fascia on a 2008 Ford Ranger. I have linked the instructions for you that show where the trimming takes place. This means it will likely be up higher than you think. Please note, this hitch will not fit on models with a front cross-member. Hitch does not fit 2WD vehicles built in Canada.

    We have not yet had the opportunity to install the Curt Front Mount Hitch, # C31063, on a 2002 Ford Ranger so we do not have a video or pictures. We do have a copy of the installation instructions. I have included a link to them for you to view. The only modifications the instructions note is to enlarge some existing holes for the hardware and trimming of front air dam and/or fascia may be required. Also, the skid shield must be removed if present.

  • Why Can't a Front Mount Trailer Hitch be Installed on a Canadian Built 2-Wheel Drive Ford Ranger
    Models of the 2008 Ford Ranger built in Canada, are 2-wheel drive, and have the cross member at the front of the truck will not be able to be fitted with a front mount trailer hitch like you have said. Basically the cross member is in the way and a hitch cannot be bolted into place. The other option is to have a front mount hitch custom fabricated and welded on by a qualified professional welder. Wed do have some hitch fabrication parts that could be used for this. I have included a link...

  • Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2010 Ford Ranger Sport 4x4 Made in USA
    Basically, the crossmember in question would appear at the front of your 2010 Ford Ranger where it would be attached to the vehicle frame and get in the way of where the hitch mounting flanges need to attach to the bottom of the frame. I have included a link to the installation instructions for Curt front receiver # C31063. There is a diagram that shows where the hitch installs. If you have anything that blocks where the hitch installs then you would not be able to install it.

  • Can a Trailer Hitch Mount Cargo Carrier be Used at the Front of a 2004 Ford Ranger
    You could install a front mount hitch on your 2004 Ford Ranger and use it to carry cargo but there are some things to consider. First is capacity. Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31063 is rated for 350 pounds vertical load (like tongue weight). But the front axle capacity may not allow for that much weight so you need to check the truck owners manual or the sticker in the door jamb with the weight capacities on it. The carrier could block the lights and also reduce driver visibility...

  • Bending Transmission Lines of 2002 Ford Ranger To Install Curt C31063 Front Receiver Hitch
    According to Curt, the lines should only need to be bent by a half inch or so. It might be possible to gently bend the metal transmission cooler lines enough so they'll clear the hitch but if that's not possible, having the hitch professionally installed would definitely be the way to go.

  • Curt Front Hitch C31063 Installation on 2000 Ford Ranger
    Our hitch installers often find that on even fairly new trucks the weld nuts in the frame can becomes rusted enough (or filled with salt or dirt) that the hitch installation hardware does not want to thread properly. It can be an even worse problem on an older truck like your 2000 Ranger. It can absolutely seem like the hardware is too large for the threaded hole. In this case cleaning out the weld nut threads with a brush like # 814092 and some spray lubricant usually does the trick. If...

  • Removing Metal Skid Plate to Identify Crossmember on a 2000 Ford Ranger XLT
    You are correct, the metal skid plate on the 2000 Ford Ranger XLT 4x4 needs to be removed when installing the front mount hitch part # C31063. The metal skid plate will not be re-installed. After doing research on OEM metal skid plates on a 2000 Ford Ranger XLT 4x4 you will need to remove the skid plate to see if there is a crossmember present. There is a chance the metal skid plate will cover the crossmember if your vehicle came with one. I have attached a photo of what the crossmember...

  • Ground Clearance for CURT Front Mount Trailer Hitch on a 2002 Ford Ranger
    The CURT Front Mount Receiver, # C31063, mounts to the bottom of the frame rails on your 2002 Ford Ranger. What I did was I went out to the warehouse and measured the distance from the top of the brackets that mount to the frame down to the bottom of the receiver. It measured 7-3/4 inches. If you measure from the bottom of the front frame rails down 7-3/4 inches, that is where the bottom of the receiver will be. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you.

  • Troubleshooting Installation of Detail K2 Snowplow for 2" Hitches
    The Detail K2 Snowplow for 2" Hitches - 84" Wide x 22" Tall # K2AVAL8422 is designed to slide into the 2" receiver on the front of your 2011 Ford Ranger. This snow plow cannot be used with a receiver adapter so you definitely do not want to use one. If you are having difficulty reaching the receiver you will need to set the wheels to a higher position. The height of the wheels can be adjusted to match the height of your vehicle.

  • Front Mount Trailer Hitch and Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 2008 Ford Ranger 2-Wheel Drive
    Curt front mount hitch # C31063 will fit 2-wheel drive models of the 2008 Ford Ranger unless manufactured in a Canadian assembly plant. A front mount trailer hitch does not replace the need for base plates to flat tow a vehicle. Flat towing requires 2 attachment points on the vehicle, not a single one like a hitch would offer. For base plates, if you have a Sport model use # 477-1. For an XL or XLT 2-wheel drive, use # 477-5. For a compatible tow bar you can use any Roadmaster tow bar,...

  • Can a Front Mount Hitch and Base Plates be Installed on a 2010 Ford Ranger
    Nine times out of ten you will not be able to have a front mount hitch installed and tow the vehicle behind an RV. The problem is that to flat tow a vehicle you need to install base plates. The base plates attach to the same area as a front mount hitch would. And on the other side, bolting or welding base plates to the hitch in some way can weaken the hitch and make it unsafe to use. So basically, you could either flat tow the 2010 Ranger or put a front mount hitch on it, but not both...
