The Curt Hitch part # C31068 that you referenced will require you to trim a 3-1/2 inch by 1-3/8 inch section of the front fascia for 4x4 models and a 3-1/2 inch by 1 inch section on the 4x2 models.

I also attached a set of installation instructions to the right for you to check out as well.

Unfortunately both Curt and Draw-Tite designed their front mounted trailer hitches to sit below the license plate for a 2011 Ford F-150. The only other option besides using a hitch like the Curt #C31068 would be to have a fabricator custom make a…
