Easily attach a variety of accessories to the front of your vehicle with this fully welded, corrosion-resistant trailer hitch receiver. Perfect for winches, spare tire carriers and more.On my F-250 4x4 the installation went smoother than expected, working on my back with the truck sitting on the floor. The front end of the frame rails is up inside the bumper assembly, so it's rather tight space to work in, but the entire job took only about an hour. I did NOT have to trim the air dam.
The carrier slid right into place using a floor jack, and it was easy to align the front bolts. Once they were in place the floor jack could be removed. Fishing the rear bolts is a little tricky, but it went surprisingly well once I straightened-out the coiled fish-wire (leaving the bend about 2" from the end, which pops through the hole once it reaches it). To prevent losing the bolts inside the frame I pulled just a portion of the bolt-coils off the bolts' threads and got the nuts started before pulling-off the rest. This results in stretching-out and ruining the bolt-coils on the fish-wires. Curt anticipated this, however, and provided one for each side. That kind of thoughtfulness (and the slight extra cost of providing the second fish-wire) is what distinguishes excellence from merely good-enough.
This is the second front hitch I have purchased from etrailer. As with the first, this was a well built, solid product. It fit my older 2009 Ford Super Duty perfectly. The only thing that was incorrect was in the instructions it called out the tools needed. But the actual sockets needed were larger than called for. Not a big deal, but something to correct moving forward. I mounted the hitch myself in about 45 minutes. Most of that time was getting set up and going looking for the larger sockets. I used a roll around jack, as I did with the first hitch, to lift it into place and be able to move it around. Works well. Everything was A+. Sorry I have no pictures. But it looks great.
Bolted right on our F450SD with out having to remove anything.

Great
I had problems with your website but etrailer corrected my issue. I’ll look forward to ordering again.
Works good with my snow plows.
I just had a chance to finally get it mounted to my truck. The fit is perfect. I have never had any issues with anything that I’ve ever gotten from etrailer.
This is the second "Curt" front hitch that I have purchased. I have not had the opportunity to mount it yet, but the instructions appear to be complete and easy to follow. It arrived UPS ground in about 5 days.

Installation was easy, even for 70yr old bod! Works great, bought it to mount a winch, have also used it to move trailers around the yard.
The Curt receiver hitch is good quality but if your doing the install yourself from the driveway or garage floor, two floor jacks would be very helpful as the receiver hitch needs to be "snaked" in around the truck structure. The front receiver hitch will give us options for carrying various types of hitch attachments. Thanks e-trailer.
Ended up using this front receiver way more than I initially expected. Now it’s possible to one person back up my boat into garage...safely. Very easy to install and seems to be high quality. No complaints.

Still working great. Not sure if it is in the description, but this hitch fits chassis cabs trucks, e.g. my truck is a F450 Chassis Cab.
Perfect fit on our 2008 f350. Installation took less than an hour with two people. As usual good shopping experience with etrailer.

After a year the hitch has been very useful in unanticipated ways. Attaching a cargo rack nc we have a kayak rack attached to rear hitch. Hitch still looks new and no rust after first winter. Recommend product and etrailer.com.
Good hitch for the price, I use it for a front cargo carrier for surf fishing, but I'm confident I could pull stuff with it. This fits my 2008 F350. Install wasn't too bad but this thing is heavy, easier with two people.
the Curt front receiver for the 2010 F-250 is an exact fit- and it arrived in good time. I got the Curt rear receiver from etrailer a couple of years ago and it has worked well.
Now I can carry on both front and back. The video provided was a great help.
This is the 3rd hitch I have ordered from etrailer.com. First one was for my second daughter's new 2022 Honda, 2nd one was for my 2018 Subaru Forester and this one is for for my 3rd daughter's Ford F-350 Super Duty. etrailer.com has what I need, fast and easy to order, delivered to my front door and it fits every time. -Wally-
fairly easy to install but 2 people suggested
very sturdy
If you install a load basket in the receiver, be sure to attach something that helps you remember its there so you dont bump the car in front of you. I used a fiberglass rod I could see from the cab
Solid build, perfect fit, nice function ality.
I was very impressed about the quality and fitment of this product. The price was excellent, the shipping time was excellent, and the condition of the product received was also excellent. Of course it said it would take 20 minutes to install, but the reality was more like an hour taking my time and not wanting to damage anything. But still, under an hour was good. Everything went as planned out in the instructions. Overall, I am very please with the product and how it looks on my truck. Keep up the great products you sell!
Heavy Duty and well made. Fairly difficult install because of such tight clearances on the trucks frame members, but I installed it myself in about an hour.
Received product on time and installed in about 2 hours. Thanks Etrailer.
Fast delivery. Fits perfect. Great comp any.
Fit just right, it would be nice if there was a wider version that allowed me to keep my front axle protectors on. Doesn't stick out ridiculously far, leaving just enough room in front of the air damper for the pin hole.

Use the hitch constantly for both winching and moving stuff around the place...great performance after a year of trying to break it!

I have a 12k winch that I have used many times with my Curt hitch and not a single issue! ??
Item looks great, can't wait to install items
Fast shipping! This receiver is fully welded and very heavy! I’m impressed with the thick wall square tubing.
Installing this is a two person job, a little difficult by yourself. Other then that it is made of good quality and heavy duty.

Works great. Used many times with moving trailers and a stump grinder. Much easier to line up when pushing the item in front. Also mounted carrier to mount garden sprayer and drove the fence line inside my AC truck instead of on an ATV or lawn tractor.
