There is a front mounted hitch available for your 2021 Ford Expedition. It is the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C31083. I have attached the instructions and a picture of the front hitch installed. You will only have to make a small modification to the front bumper fascia to allow the receiver to go through.

The Malone #MPG544 you'd referenced has a 400 lb tongue weight capacity, which wouldn't be enough capacity for the trailer's tongue weight and the weight of the bikes and the rack they're carried on. Couple that with the fact that…

Answer 9

The front mount trailer hitch receiver with the best ground clearance once installed on your 2021 Ford F-150 is the Draw-Tite #65067 in which the bottom of the receiver sits just above the bottom of your air dam so you will not lose any ground…
