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.by: Christopher04/20/2022
The hitch was well-made, and installing it was very easy. However, the design of the hitch is somewhat perplexing. The hitch receiver hangs about 3 inches lower than it needs to, which reduces the ground clearance on the front of the truck significantly. See attached photos. The hitch will work until I find something better, That restores the front ground clearance

Well so far so good. It was a little difficult trying to do it by myself, got most of it done and then had to go to a autobody shop down the road to tighten up the 4 bolts.

It worked out great! We traveled to Key West from New England with only a couple of problems. Watch out for dips in the road, curbstones, large tree roots.

This front hitch carrier has been a life saver for us. I reviewed all the bike mounting options I could find for our truck camper and decided that mounting the bikes on a front receiver hitch was the way to go. The customer service at the front end was excellent. I needed to be sure that the position of the hitch receiver would allow a) enough ground clearance, b) that the bikes would not be touching the front grill of the truck, c) that the bikes would not be sitting up so high that the view of the driver would be obstructed and d) that I would actually be able to do the install myself. Well, the customer service gal on the phone was very helpful and took a lot of time to research and answer all my questions and I felt confident that I was getting the right item. I was able to install the receiver in less than 2 hours with the help of my neighbor. The instructions were clear and the install went fairly smoothly. The end result is an excellent product that is very strong and durable and holds our bike rack perfectly. We have logged over 5000 miles since installing it last spring and I could not be happier with how things have worked out!

High quality hitch. Great install instructions. Not hard to install but you will need two people. May be possible with one person with truck on a lift.

It took me a little more than an hour to install the mount. It was a little tight but I used a come a long to pull it into alignment.

2018 Ford Transit Connect
Installed on a 2018 Chevy 3500HD (diesel)
Product arrived as scheduled in a shipping box that was damaged in transit. Upon inspection of the contents, it was determined everything was fine and all installation parts were securely attached to the hitch. It's understandable that a cardboard box with a 35 pound steel frame will get some damage in handling.
Installation: Absolutely watch the video online, it is extremely helpful! I jacked up the front of my truck about 6 inches and set jack stands in place on the jacking blocks behind front wheel wells. I also removed the plastic debris guard (4-15mm bolts) for easier access to the mounting points. I must say, the threaded pull wires are a wonderful addition that made the installation flawless! Take your time and follow the enclosed instructions (and video) and it should take you about 30-45 minutes. I am an average mechanic at best and this was a really easy install!
Be aware that adding the hitch up front will require you be careful with parking curbs, however I think the hitch is stout enough to insure it will destroy a concrete curb. Probably best to avoid testing that theory.
I test mounted a motorcycle carrier on the from of the truck and loaded up a KTM 690 Duke. (315 lbs) Virtually no sag in the front suspension and to bike should ride well with proper pads & tie-downs. Makes for an interesting hood ornament ;)
All in all, a great product and vendor. You can buy with confidence.

The Curt Front Mount Hitch is a great addition to any working man's truck. The fit is so tight that I had to bend the side frame tabs out a little bit to get it mounted. Once in place it mounted exactly as described.

I really like the front hitch. I use it to haul kayaks when I'm towing my fifth wheel.
My only complaint is that it significantly decreases my front end clearance. I now tend to hit ground while going through dips.
Other than that, it's been great.
by: Ryan 05/24/2020
2015 Ram 3500
Overall quality looking hitch. The side-flanges were not wide enough to fit around my ‘16 Sierra 3500 frame which was extremely difficult to install, especially with the fish-wire. Had to use a floor jack to push the hitch into place and remove the skid plate and thankfully there was an access hole in the frame where the flange-bolt goes. Did not want to cut a hole behind the license plate so this was the only option and would buy again if needed but the flanges should be 1/16th to an 1/8 of an inch wider.

Had to remove, to low to the ground and kept hitting everything.

I searched far and wide for a front hitch for my 2018 GMC 2500 HD Denali, most will not fit the Denali for some reason. This one did so with no trimming of the air dam, it's a perfect fit and only took about 45 minutes to install by myself. This will be the second truck I've owned with a front hitch and it seems like a necessity at this point, they're great for bicycle racks, winches, kayak racks, you name it!

Ive driven thousands of miles with my bicycle rack attached to the Curt front receiver. The Curt front receiver has performed perfectly. The best thing is I didnt have to cut or alter my truck to install it.
by: Tom D06/21/2019
We added this hitch to the front of our GMC Sierra 1 ton and carry 2 ruckus motorcycles with us camping. This is a 500 lb. load upfront and carries wonderfully. It does hang low under the front bumper, so you will hit the curb if you park straight in. It will also hit a steep driveway. A lift kit for the truck is a possible cure but we carry a large camper and would be top heavy. We would buy this product again in a heartbeat as it is well constructed and easy to install in minutes.

Still love it, but rough roads are a no go without lifting our truck. There are many asphalt marks from Jasper to Yellowstone.

Received order a couple days earlier than expected which was great. Quality looking product and installation looks well thought out. Completely satisfied but will update after I install. If necessary.

GMC Sierra
This product is super easy install (took me less than 20 minutes all by myself). No cutting or drilling required. The product also works great. This makes backing a trailer into a tight spot much easier. The only down fall of this product is that it has to drop down pretty close to the ground to clear the lower air dam on the Sierra 2500HD. The remaining ground clearance leaves the hitch low enough to hit the ground when pulling up to tall curbs or parking blocks and would also likely hit ground fairly easily while four wheeling. The low ground clearance is the only reason I gave this four stars instead of five stars. Please note that to get a front hitch that is no cutting or drilling, there is no other option...it has to be below the air dam.

The hitch is working fine. Easy to install. We use it for a bicycle rack. Works great!

- How to Carry a Long Canoe and Tow a Trailer with a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HDIn order to haul a 17' long aluminum canoe and tow a trailer with your 2018 Chevrolet Silverado 2500HD, I have two options for you. The first option would be to place part of the canoe on the roof and the other part on a t-load carrier at the rear. For this, I recommend using the Yakima JetStream Crossbars System (Double/Crew Cab Only) which is composed of part # Y00426, part # Y28TR, and part # Y06122 with the Yakima KeelOver Rooftop Canoe Carrier part # Y04069.

The hitch will use existing holes in the truck's frame to eliminate the need for any frame drilling during installation.

The Curt hitch is actually the preferred option for snow plows due to the receiver tube height so this setup will work perfectly for you.

Sometimes hitches can get slightly bent in shipping which can cause the clearances to be tighter than intended. I am not 100% that is what happened in your situation but it is possible. Either way I am glad you got it figured out and installed. As long as you get all of the bolts installed and torqued to the specs in the installation instructions the way you get everything...

view full answer... - Front Mount Hitch Recommendation for 2015 GMC Sierra 2500The Curt Front Mount Hitch Receiver, part # C31071, is confirmed as a fit for your 2015 GMC Sierra 2500. This hitch has a 2 inch receiver opening and is an easy, bolt-on installation. If you need to maneuver a trailer using your front hitch I recommend a ball mount like part # C45010. This ball mount has a 3/4 inch rise or a 2 inch drop. I have attached a link to a product review for this ball mount you can check out. If you need a hitch ball I recommend part # 63845 for the 2 inch ball...

There were enough changes to the 2015 model Silverado that Curt had to redesign a new hitch. The hitch you would then need is the part # C31071. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.

The air dam may need to be trimmed for the hitch to fit. We haven't had anyone complain about the ground clearance but the receiver will be under the front fascia so it is possible that it could make contact with the ground at severe enough inclines. The Draw-Tite hitch, # 65068, will not fit because the receiver is mounted higher up on the cross member compared...

view full answer... - Can Front Hitch and Plow Be Used on Front of 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500I really wish I could say yes, but plow mounts and front hitches occupy the same area on the front frame of a vehicle so they can't normally be installed at the same time. Only option would be to install the front hitch and go with a plow that mounts in a hitch if you really need both. The K2 # K2AVAL8219 would work well with the Curt Front Hitch part # C31071 which is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Chevy Silverado 2500.

In other words, they do not test them with other items installed on the trucks. Basically what you will have to do is look at the instructions. Then you would compare that to how and where your Fisher plow push plates are installed. If they occupy the same space and/or use the same mounting locations then you would have to use one or the other but not both.
