Will Front Mount Hitch Fit 2011 Ford F-150 to use Bike Rack

Question:

I just ordered a front receiver hitch C31068 for carrying bicycles on the front of my 2011 Ford F150 4x4 V6 ecoboost and wanted to make sure this is the right part. I realize I should have asked this question before ordering, but hopefully all is good. If you could let me know I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Yes, the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch # C31068 will fit your 2011 Ford F-150 so you're safe! I have added a link to a video installation as well as the written instructions for you to take a look at. Though you will need to trim your front air dim, there is no drilling required to install the hitch on your F-150.

For a bike rack I strongly recommend the Saris Freedom # SA4412B because at less than 30 lbs it is extremely lightweight but still has a 60 lb per bike capacity as well as the ability to tilt and fold.

The Freedom has an anti-rattle hitch lock and uses ratcheting padded cradles that grip your bikes by the frame to ensure the rack is stable in the hitch of your F-150.

I've added a link to a video review of this rack for you to check out.
