Plenty of accessory options
One of the most popular uses for a front hitch is attaching a snow plow to a truck. These hitches are also perfect for adding cargo space to the vehicle with a cargo carrier. The convenience of a front mount hitch is that it maintains usage of the rear trailer hitch for towing.
Every CURT front hitch comes with a straight-line pull rating of 9,000 lbs. This makes it ideal for also mounting a tow hook or winch mount.
Note: Weight capacity is limited to the lowest-rating towing component.

We then apply a durable black powder coat finish over the top of the liquid A-coat.
Co-cured
The hitches are heat-treated to cure the finishes together for industry-leading protection.

Easy-to-clean receiver
Mounted close to the ground, a receiver hitch can quickly accumulate a load of dirt, debris and road grime. This is why we coat both the inside and outside of our hitches with rust-resistant A-coat.
We also equip our front hitches with an open-back receiver. This makes it easy to clean out the receiver tube whenever needed.
How to install a front hitch
Because CURT front mount hitches are each made vehicle-specific, installation is streamlined. In the design process, we aim to reduce the amount of drilling and modifying needed during the process as much as possible.
All CURT front hitches come with all the hardware necessary for a complete install, and they include detailed instructions, specific to each hitch. We also offer online instructions and a number of install videos to help with the process.
