Will The EcoHitch Front Receiver Hitch Fit a 2015 Ford F-150 with 2.7L Engine?  

Question:

Im looking to get item EH87SR EcoHitch Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver but Im unsure if it will fit. I have a 2015 Ford F150 but mine is a 2.7L engine and it seems the radiator is resting on a plate between the points where I would install the front hitch. Do you believe this hitch has enough room to fit specifically the height without hitting the plate? Also, could I get a diagram of the hitchs dimensions? Thanks in advance for the help.

Expert Reply:

According to EcoHitch you will not have any fitment issues on your 2015 Ford F-150 and their Hidden Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH87SR. Unfortunately EcoHitch, like many manufacturers do not give out a dimensional drawing for the receiver as it would to easily allow someone to just have a receiver fabricated from the drawing.
