I am very happy with my Curt front mount trailer hitch receiver which I use for my rod and cooler holder for surf fishing. It is well constructed and assures me of many years of use. I would recommend Curt to anyone who would like a well built front hitch.
Steven - 04/18/2022Fit perfectly and works just like it should. Makes pushing my travel trailer into the barn much easier. The only thing that I would improve is to make it where I could still keep the factory tow hooks..
If I could mark it at 4.5 stars I would. I like it the hitch.
I think it hangs down too low, only 8" off the pavement. I did not like to have to take off the tow hooks to install the hitch. I did like the idea of I sold the tow hooks for almost as much as I paid for the hitch.
I had to buy a hitch extender. ( I do not see the extender I bought on etrailer listed any more.) The extender put the hitch out far enough to clear the grill guard that I had installed. My goal was to have a place to mount my 8,000 pound winch. I can now slide the winch in the front receiver or the back factory receiver. I can now pull the truck out from either front or back.
This front mount hitch was just what we needed to haul our bikes when camping with the slide in camper. We had to take the bikes and a bike hitch off each time we had to get in the camper when we stopped. This front mount hitch saved us from having to do that. Also use it for a carrier to carry extra luggage. It came fast and it was very easy to install, just as advertised.
Product was an easy install, shipping was fast and customer service is always outstanding!
The hitch is barely noticeable and it didn’t need to cut the fascia.
Mark - 07/08/2021Front Hitch for 2014 Ram 1500
Using for surf fishing rod holder
Exact fit, Easy well explains instruction and etrailer web site video helpful too.
Took 30-45 mins including drilling holes needed for this install. Very Happy!!
Thank you.
This worked out pretty well- drove it for the first time since installed it and it definitely has an affect on how the vehicle feels (I guess the added weight to the front end ) I wouldn't say bad but different. The hitch went on easy, had to trim a very small bit of the air dam maybe a quarter inch. I was worried it would have a impact on the aesthetics of the truck but I think it looks pretty awesome - also the price was the best I could find on the net
This front receiver hitch is just what I needed for parking my boat in a very narrow location next to my residence---much shorter turning base having the hitch on the front of the vehicle vs the rear.
This product took just over an hour to install and was very easy with a "second" pair of hands.
will do the same on my next truck
charles - 12/24/2020Installation was easy and the product is an excellent looking addition to my truck
Jason - 11/24/2018Easy install, great fit, excellent instructions and fast shipping.
Bill - 06/30/2018Good North American made hitch. Clearance from tow hoops to ground a consideration. Bent one hoop back but only because the old logging road was that bad.
Easy to install. Works great with my home plow. Don't have to back up with trailers around the yard, precision trailering from the front. My only gripe is that if you buy a new truck to install this front mount hitch you will need two bolts unless you can fish out the existing bolts with a magnet. Save the fish wire that comes with the mount.
have had a curt front hitch before(98 Suburban) so was familiar with it.
pretty easy install.
hate loosing the factory tow hooks!!!! need to find a way around that.
Rick C - 09/05/2018Great customer service. Hitch went on the truck without a “hitch”
Perfect fit and installs as stated in the instructions. Trimming the valance is very minor, however it does not have to be done. Frame steel is real so don't go cheap on a drill bits.
Marcus - 03/05/2019Easy to install and durable. I used this to hold a 80 qt. cooler in an aluminum surf fishing rack, full of ice and fish. It was rock solid. You do have to get used to it being there when pulling into a parking space with a concrete curb in front of you. Even then the curb usually loses.
This purchase was my 2nd purchase as I had installed on on another truck and I had just sold it, so I needed a new front hitch to put on my new truck and the install went smoothly and I used it all winter with my plow and it worked great
Works great for what I need! Would definitely recommend this front mount hitch.
Great quality, pretty simple install as I did it myself. No issues.
I have not installed the front receiver hitch but it was delivered on time and well packaged. If this item is like others I have bought from etrailer it will work just fine.
Great construction. Realtively easy to install, but I would prefer U-bolts to drilling in the frame and fishing bolts through!
Thumper - 09/07/2018Was easy to install and fit like a glove on my 2019 classic body Ram 1500 truck 4x4. E-trailer shipped it fast to. Got it in less than five business days.
Excellent quality and fit. Installation took just over an hour. Easy instructions. Fast shipping and a great price.
Note: My truck is a Dodge Outdoorsman with factory tow hooks. The hitch interferes with the factory hooks and the hooks will require some modifications to work with the hitch. Otherwise the hooks can be removed easily and just use the hooks on the hitch.
Works great! You need a good drill bit to drill the holes in your frame, but otherwise no problem.
Extremely easy to install on my 2014 Ram EcoDiesel. It came with all of the hardware as well as the bolt feeder wire required to fish two of the bolts through the frame. I haven’t seen it in action yet but I suspect it will perform well.
