Will the RockyMounts MonoRail Work On a 2018 Ford F-150 With Front Hitch

Question

Question:

Hello, Im researching the purchase of two fat-tire e-bikes. Im considering purchasing and installing the Curt front mount receiver for my 2018 Ford F150 and this rack, as we tow a travel trailer. Would this combo work? The bikes weigh in at about 60 pounds each, so well be close the maximum weight for this rack. Your thoughts on the Curt hitch would also be appreciated.

The RockyMounts MonoRail 2 Bike Platform Rack part # RKY10004 will work just fine with a front mount hitch on a 2018 Ford F-150, the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C31083 is a no-drill option and what I recommend. The RockyMounts MonoRail 2 has a 60 lb weight capacity so as long as the bikes are under this there won't be an issue.

The good news is that neither the Curt #C31083 or the Draw-Tite #65067 front mount trailer hitches will reduce the ground clearance on your 2018 Ford F-150. If you want a receiver that sits above the lowest piece of fascia then the Curt requires that…

On your 2020 Ford F-150 the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch #C31083 will sit further up than the Draw-Tite alternative and actually won't affect the truck's ground clearance at all. The 2" receiver on the hitch will protrude right through…

The RockyMounts MonoRail bike rack you'd looked at, part #RKY10004 is a great bike rack, but it wouldn't work well with bikes that have fenders like your Aventon Aventure Fat tire ebikes. The front fender would prevent the bike retaining hook…
