Expert Reply:
Since you're wanting to use a bike rack at the front of your 2019 Ford F-150 with the Curt # C31083 I recommend going with the Kuat Sherpa. It comes in Gray # SH22G, Black # SH22B, and Pearl # SH22P, can hold up to two 40 lb bikes, and has an aluminum construction. Since this is a wheel mount rack it can work with a wide variety of bikes out there that don't have a front fender.
The part I want to really focus on is the aluminum construction. Anything at the front of a vehicle is going to be taking a beating from bugs and road debris. With a steel rack any places where the paint gets chipped (which will definitely happen at the front of your pickup) will start to rust if you don't cover it up with paint right away. Since the Sherpa is aluminum you don't have to worry about it rusting from the elements at all.
I am attaching a review video for the Sherpa that you can check out.
