Product Summary

A CURT front mount hitch is an easy way to increase the functionality of truck, Jeep, van or SUV as a work machine or recreational vehicle. A front receiver hitch equips your vehicle with an industry-standard receiver tube opening, enabling you to add cargo space, mount a winch, launch a boat with ease, plow snow and much more. Like our rear mount trailer hitches, CURT front tow hitches are made from quality American steel. Each one is also made vehicle-specific, meaning the shape of frame, the position of the brackets and the placement of the mounting holes are all optimized to seamlessly integrate with the vehicle's design features. This ensures the best possible fit, maximum towing strength and the easiest possible installation. It is tested according to SAE J684 for dependable safety for you and your crew. CURT front hitches are also rated for a straight-line pull capacity of 9000 pounds, making them an excellent tool for recovery towing and winch applications. All front receiver hitches are equipped with an industry-standard 2in. x 2in. receiver tube opening, providing a solid, versatile mount for a variety of towing accessories. The 2in. hitch receiver is welded with a steel collar for added strength, and it has an open back for easy cleaning as needed. When not in use, the front receiver readily accepts a hitch tube cover, keeping it well-protected from water, dirt and debris. Made in U.S.A.
