Expert Answers about Bumper Hitch


  • Does the Curt Hitch C15398 Support the Bumper on a 2013 Toyota Tundra?
  • That is correct. There is nothing to support the bumper when you install the Curt Hitch item # C15398 on a 2013 Toyota Tundra. That hitch was designed for the trucks without the factory hitch so there's no reason for it to have built in support for the bumper. It'll work on the Tundra's that came with a factory hitch so long as you get everything out of the way including the factory hitch's bumper support. It is not necessary to support the bumper with an aftermarket hitch like the Curt...

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch C11367 Deform the Bumper Fascia of 2015 BMW 435i
  • You are correct that when the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Class I # C11367 is installed, it will move the steel bumper closer to the bumper fascia by the width of the mounting bracket. However, this will not negatively impact or deform the bumper fascia. If installing the hitch caused problems at the bumper fascia, the manufacturer would state that the hitch requires trimming of the bumper fascia or they would not list the hitch as a fit for the vehicle. The # C11367 requires no trimming...

  • Class V Trailer Hitch for 1972 Ford F250 with Barden Bumper
  • I am unfamiliar with the Barden Bumper and in my research, I could not find any specific information regarding the Barden Bumper. Our trailer hitches are not tested with aftermarket bumpers. We have two bumpers that have been determined to be a fit for your truck with a factory bumper. The # BWHDRH25122 is for standard and step bumpers and the # BWHDRH25198 is for deep drop bumpers. I recommend measuring from your frame to the bottom of your bumper to know how much distance you will need...

  • Can a Trailer Hitch be Installed on a 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 with Ranch Hand Bumper Installed
  • If the ranch hand bumper is the same thing as a cowboy bumper or deep drop bumper then none of the hitches for the 2006 Dodge Ram 2500 are confirmed to fit because they are not tested on truck models with alternate bumpers. You would have to put the old bumper back on. If the factory hitch is the one welded to the frame then you would need # C15809 if you did install the factory bumper. This hitch fits below the factory hitch. I have linked instructions and a video showing installation...

  • Difference in Above Bumper and Below Bumper Front Receiver Hitch for 2004 Jeep Wrangler
  • I would recommend to first check with the manufacturer of the hitch mount deer feeder to see if they recommend an above bumper hitch or a below bumper hitch on the front of your 2004 Jeep Wrangler. Depending on the style of the deer feeder you have you might need to have clearance from the bumper, so an above bumper hitch might work better for that application. The installation of the above bumper hitch like Curt Front Hitch, part # 31408, on your 2004 Jeep Wrangler, is listed as a 30...

  • RV Bumper Hitch Recommendation Where the Hitch Opening is Below Bumper
  • I have a solution for you, but the RV Bumper 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver # S64025 that you referenced can only be used with the hitch opening on top of the bumper. Instead you would want the Ultra-Fab 2" Motor Home Trailer Hitch # UF35-946401. This hitch can be used with the opening on the bottom of the bumper. Be sure not to exceed the weight capacity of your bumper, check the owners manual of your vehicle for more info on that.

  • Difference Between Curt RV Bumper Hitches 19101 and 19100
  • The difference between the two hitches is the size bumper they are designed to fit. The 19100 # E-100 is designed to fit a 4 inch square bumper and the # C19101 on the other hand is designed to fit a 2 inch by 4 inch bumper instead. Basically you'd need to measure the dimensions of your bumper to know which you would need. Most likely it's a 4 inch square bumper though as that is the most common size.

  • How Many Rubber Bumpers are Normally on a 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Head
  • On Reese models, for example, there are usually 2 bumpers. They can be placed in a couple of different positions. They are used to prevent the the head from contacting the hitch body abruptly which could damage it. Some hitches have additional holes so the bumpers can be moved. If your hitch only has one hole and a bumper in it, then it only requires one. The bumpers are usually located in the rear most holes (towards the back of the truck) since when coupling, the head is tilted forward.
