Grille Guard Compatibility with Front Mounted Trailer Hitch Receiver on 2008 Ford F-150
Question:
Hello it’s part number 65043 Draw-Tite Front-Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver
asked by: Timothy S
Expert Reply:
The Westin Sportsman Grille Guard # 40-2015 is not compatible with a front mounted trailer hitch but is compatible with a 2006-2008 Ford F-150. It will utilize the same mounting locations as a front mounted trailer hitch receiver, so there will be interference as they compete for the same space. You unfortunately will need to decide which is more important to you.
I've attached the installation instructions as well as linked the page to your front mount hitch options so you can see the interference and make your decision.
