Question

Question:

I have a 2020 F350 Diesel with a front receiver hitch from EcoHitch that I bought from Etrailer. Do you see any problems with it fitting this stetup? What about folding?

With the 19x60 Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitches - Aluminum - Folding - 500 lbs # C18100 folded down you should have no issues as from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest edge of the receiver is 10-3/4" so it should not have interference with your 2020 Ford F-350 Diesel with the EcoHitch Front Mount Hitch # 306-X7904 installed. I recommend confirming this by measuring from the center of the hitch pin hole of the hitch to the front edge of the bumper.

Now when the # C18100 is folded it measures 4-1/2" from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest edge of the receiver which may be too tight, but I don't think you will be driving around with the carrier folded up either.

You will just want to make sure whatever you load on the carrier does not go so high as to block the headlights on your vehicle.

I included a video of the # C18100 for you to take a look at.

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two…

Class I and Class II hitches both have a 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. The difference is that a Class I hitch has a lower tongue weight rating, usually 200 pounds and a lower towing rating, usually 2,000 pounds. A Class II hitch usually has a tongue…

Hi Robert; hopefully your Roadmaster tow bar is one that attaches to direct-connect base plates as opposed to crossbar base plates; for example the 8,000 lb Roadmaster Sterling would be optimal. Assuming that, here is what you need to flat tow your…

The proper extension for your setup would be the one that allows you to have clearance of your hitch mounted accessory and also allows you to still be able to pull the steps down. If the receiver tube sticks out past the camper too far then you…

To me it makes the most sense to put a Bike Rack #HLY64FR on the flat towed vehicle rather than above the tow bars. Especially on heavy e-bikes as they are difficult to lift that high onto the rack, but also as it only makes sense to have the rack…

We have run into this quite a few times in the past, and the best option will be replacing the Lance 7-pin connector with a standard 7-way blade connector like the #PK12706. This will give you a standard 7-way connector to plug into the factory…

Any type of hitch adapter or extender will have the unavoidable side-effect of causing a loss of about half of your hitch's rated capacity, both its tongue weight (TW) and it's gross towing weight (GTW). Hidden Hitch extender #HE18…
