CURT 31068 2-Inch Front Receiver Hitch, Select Ford Expedition, F-150, Lincoln Navigator

This is a good hitch, but it doesn't extend far enough past the bumper on my 2013 Ford F150 for my multi-purpose winch. mount. I had to place an order for a hitch extension. It's probably fine for a bike or cargo rack, but I wish it was about 4-inches longer. The bumper is 5 inches longer in front. It was a breeze to put it in. Before installing it, I slightly spread the wings with a brass hammer, and I taped the washers to the hitch wings rather than the frame. It slid right in and bolted on like a glove. It looks great, but my winch would benefit from it sticking out a little further. Although I am aware that my extension will reduce the pulling power because it is another weak link in the system, I am hopeful that it will work for the winch cradle. I'm looking forward to getting the extension and using the winch in the mountains. Even though I now need to purchase an extension to use my winch, I would still buy it. It appears to be extremely well-made and durable. In general, I am very pleased. It'll be a fantastic addition to my truck, I'm confident.

Installation is a breeze. One of these was installed on the front of my friend's Chevy for $500. My wife took about an hour to install this on our Ford. It's where we keep our portable winch. Great product, but if you're going to use it as a winch, you'll need to purchase an extension tube.

EL King Ranch EL King Ranch EL King Ranch EL King Ranch EL King Ranch The front mounting supports were supposed to be able to fit into a 3 3/8" slot in the truck frame. It was more like a 4" hitch. I inserted it into a different set of holes that were closer to the frame's front. Because they lined up, I assumed those were the proper holes to use. br> Everything appeared to be in order until I attempted to attach the notched shroud. I did everything that was asked of me and then some. It slams into the hitch on both sides. The shroud will never be put back on. It was most likely supposed to go in the frame's 3 3/8" slotted area, but the hitch was closer to 4", as previously stated. I'm not going to sew the shroud together. The receiver is 1/4" below the decorative bumper and is aligned with it. For a bike rack, it's most likely to work. The bumper on my travel trailer was not built to accommodate a hitch.

This was bought by my boyfriend. It makes him very happy. In fact, during the first weekend of use, I was asked to check it out several times. I also had the pleasure of assisting him with the installation, which was relatively painless in comparison to what it could have been: no cutting, just figuring out how to do things. It took him about 45 minutes, but if he did it again, it would only take him 30 minutes. When we have our camper, we use it on the front of our car to tow our large load of firewood into our hitch hauler. We've already put it to good use. Bikes, as well as anything else he can think of, will be included at some point. br>br>He is ecstatic about it, and 5 stars isn't enough for him. Curt Manufacturing is to be commended!.

It's a good hitch, but there are three things to keep in mind: br>1) Curt's installation instructions are unclear, stating that one set of bolts should be snaked from the frame's end. Best of luck with it! I found a video that demonstrates how to do it in the east. This is a two-person job, or you'll need a floor jack or something similar to keep it in place while you put the bolts in. br>3) Disconnect the air dam and leave it disconnected. The hitch, on the other hand, could serve as a partial dam on its own. br>4) The receiver's hitch pin hole is approximately 8-inches wide. Most draw bars will be too short because they are 1/2" from the front of the bumper, so you'll need either a receiver extension (which will probably de-energize the receiver) or a receiver extension (which will probably de-energize the receiver). Check your draw bar's length or rate the load capacity.

150 is a nice number. I purchased another one, but it did not fit, despite the fact that it stated that it did. This brand does, and they also include some extra tools to assist with feeding some of the bolts through the frame, which makes it a lot easier. It took me about 30 minutes to complete the installation. One of the wrenches I needed took longer to locate because it was misplaced by some kid.

It was the perfect fit! This one was perfect for my 2007 Ford Expedition. It was the perfect fit! After prepping and setting it up, I installed it myself in about 45 minutes, for a total of about 2 hours. There's another one that says Expedition on it, but I didn't like how low it hung. Instead, I looked into this one and discovered that it, too, could fit the bill, which it did, and, best of all, it was higher than the other. So this one gets my vote for Ford Expeditions built between 2007 and 2014. br>br>It also serves as a shield for my lower control arms against large rocks!.

2011 F- 150 EcoBoost 2WD with a heavy-duty payload and towing package - a bed that is eight feet long In about 30 minutes, with my daughter's help, I was able to install it - I do have an air compressor and air tools, so maybe 10 minutes. Hand tools take 15 minutes longer to complete. OK, so far so good. Otherwise, it's pretty self-explanatory, and it's a lot less difficult than other reviews claim. I did not cut the plastic panel that they said needed to be trimmed - I simply pushed the lip of it up against the hitch's opening. It hasn't gone back down, and it was simple to accomplish. It can be used to mount a rack to hold a cooler or a bicycle rack. Mine is what I use to get my boat into a tight parking spot in my level backyard. From the back, it's nearly impossible, but from the front, it's relatively simple.
