Draw-Tite Front Hitch 5443 Review Video

With hitch extenders the key thing to keep in mind is that when you use one you end up cutting the capacity of the hitch by 50 percent due to the increased leverage and movement created. So as long as the hitch of your Ram has twice the towing…

I went to our warehouse and took some measurements of the Blue Ox Hitch Extender for Tow Bars, part #BX88265 for you. The hollow portion of the adapter is 6-1.4 inches. The solid part of the adapter that installs in the hitch receiver is 6-1/4 inches…

That was a confusing way to phrase that and I apologize. The Blue Ox Hitch Extender for Tow Bars #BX88265 was designed for use with tow bars so the 10,000 lb towing capacity is in reference to how heavy of a vehicle it could flat tow.

I am sorry to hear about the issue you are having while using your bike rack. I do have some options for you to display your license plate with the bike rack attached but Thule does not offer any products for this purpose. The vast majority of law…

The instructions for both of the front-mounted hitches that are a fit for your 2003 Ford Excursion, the Draw-Tite #65022 and Curt #31114 reference the blocker beam, saying you'll need to remove and then reinstall it when putting on either hitch.…

The Trailer and Vehicle Electric Winch Wiring Kit #BDW20207 on your Badlands 12,000 winch will work well. The 2 AWG wire will be adequate for your winch as it is confirmed to work on Superwinch winches up to 16.5k in capacity.

The Badland winch 9k has a power draw of 300 amps at full load. You need a deep cycle 12V AGM battery that can handle that amperage. I recommend a battery with 650 Cold Cranking Amps (CCA). Badland Winches are an introductory winch with a not so…

For your 2020 Ford F-150 XLT the best front mount hitch is the Curt #C31083 because it's going to sit just a tad higher than the Draw-Tite alternative for better ground clearance. The 2" receiver for the Curt hitch will actually protrude…

The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part #C87FR which is a fit for a 2019 Ram 1500 will work on models with the active air damn behind the fixed splitter. This can actually be seen in a photo from the instructions which I attached below,…

Yes, the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part #C87FR is a great option for a front mount hitch on the 2020 Ram 1500 Lone Star. It is rated for a line pull of 9,000 lbs (winch) and vertical load of 500 lbs (tongue weight). I have attached the…

The tow hooks of your 2020 Ram 1500 do need to be permanently removed to install the Curt hitch #C87FR that you referenced. There isn't a similar hitch that would allow the tow hooks to remain.

I was able to confirm a trailer hitch fit for a 2023 Hyundai Santa Fe, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part #e28AR which is what I recommend. This trailer hitch offers a bolt-on fit so there's no drilling required. It has a class III rating…
