Front Mount Hitch Recommendation for a 2014 Ford F-150 Ecoboost
Question:
I am looking for a front hitch for my 2014 F150 ecoboost engine. Have you heard of any warranty disclaimers since the ecoboost has an intercooler that need good air flow? I want to put a bike rack on the front when towing our camper. Thanks

For a front mounted hitch confirmed to fit your 2014 Ford F-150 you would want the Curt hitch part # C31068. We haven't had any reports of intercooler interference with having this hitch installed on a Ecoboost model truck like what you have.
The most popular bike rack we carry is the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This rack has a ton of positive reviews from our customers who have tried it. Check out the review video I attached for more info.
Depending on the size and shape of your bikes you may end up blocking your headlights and obstruction air flow. Most bikes have a pretty open frame and wheel design. The XTC would be pretty non-restrictive as well so you should be fine.
