I absolutely have some suggestions on what you will need for a front-mounted hitch and bike rack for your 2011 Ford F-250, and let's start with the hitch. The best option by far is going to be from Draw-Tite because it has the best bumper clearance for your F-250 to help keep the bikes and rack away from your front bumper/grill. The hitch that fits your '11 F-250 is the following:
- Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # 65049
Then for a bike rack, it is important for the right one to have a longer shank for the most space possible in front of your truck, as well as a rise in the shank to optimize ground clearance. The option I really like for this is from Curt, and is a 2-bike platform rack:
- Curt 2-Bike Platform Rack # C18085
This rack has plenty of clearance to extend past the bumper, and offers a 10 inch rise in the shank so your bikes avoid the ground, has locks at the frame hooks to keep your bikes secure, comes with an anti-rattle bolt for a quiet ride, and is a fantastic value relative to other racks.
I have added links below to a video reviews for you to check out as well if you'd like.
