New Front Mount Trailer Receiver Hitch for 99-07 Ford F-250/350 Super Duty Replacement For 65022

This hitch is super heavy duty, excellent design and fit, came fast, and is priced very reasonable. It is a little hard to install, but not because of the hitch, the tow hooks were tough to remove plus the bumper and driving lights also have to be removed to install the hitch. ( Note: aux. driving lights have to remain off the truck)

Seems to be well-made installation was pretty straightforward simple just a couple of tools

It went together pretty well and looks/is bomber! Just ask a friend to help hold it in position while you're on your back wrestling with the nuts and bolts. I did it solo using a floor jack and blocks of wood to support it - not perfect but doable.

Few.... That was interesting... First get a step drill bit to aid in drilling 4 new holes in your bumper mounting bracket. Allow yourself some time for installation. Lucky for me I had my wifes aid & when she couldn't get to the back of bolts for the included washers to go on, I had my 14 yr old son that pop right under & got them on... He was happy to help after the accomplishment. I used my 20v cordless impact to remove bumper bolts & to put some back on. Like others have said it's tricky to get at the back to get the included washers started but keep in mind you may bend them to fit better or to have a better "handle" on it. This seemed to help a bit. This hitch seems to be the same hitch you pay another $20 or more for. It is a solid piece that came w/everything I needed (double check your box before starting). After I installed the hitch I put on my hitch tray that holds my Generator for RV. It had some wiggle but you can snug anything you have attached with an accessory clamp.

Came with cheap hardware ripped the threads out of one of the nuts with the impact gun but had to take the tow hooks off to getIt on and had to cut part off the bottom on each side to have clearance for reinstallation of the tow hook bolts

I was a little concerned this might be a light weight hitch becouse of the price, but it is not. I have yet to install it, but looking it over I was amazed how heavy it is, and can see its well made of heavy steel . I have read other reviews saying the Receiver was a little oversized. Not a problem for me as I will wield a shim on the hitch if needed.

Bought this to install on my 2001 F350 to carry our bike rack when the camper is in the bed of the truck. Install wasn’t too bad, I didn’t drill the other 4 holes as it will never be used to pull any loads. When I was done, I inserted the bike rack into the receiver and immediately noticed the rack moved around way more than it should. I installed the pin that is threaded and tightens up the connection between the rack and the receiver. Still flopped around. A lot. My Swagman bike rack is rock solid in all my other vehicles with 2 inch receivers. I pulled it out and measured the actual size of the receiver tube. It was 2 3/16. All my other receivers are 2 1/16, if that. Very disappointing. Why would anybody do this? A 2 inch receiver tube is standard in most the world. Nobody uses a 2 3/16 tube. Nobody. I guess you get what you pay for.....I guess it would work well for a winch or dropping your boat in the water, but don’t get it for a bike rack, or any other rack for that matter.

This thing is solid. Mounted it to our Ford Excursion to hold camper generator on a front cargo basket. The installation requires you to remove the front bumper, 4 bolts on the front brackets and 1 on each side bracket. Also requires the removal of front tow hooks, not an easy task with hand tools, I used impact. These tow hooks, can be re-installed after bumper goes on, if you choose, I choose not too. DRILLING is REQUIRED.......... on the factor bumper brackets that are mounted on bumper. The vehicle frame mounts have 4 hole already that match up with your new front mount receiver but the actual bumper brackets (from Ford) don't have more then the 2 factory holes pre side that are used by ford. So some drilling will be required on the brackets and finding the center point to drill out will require precise measuring.
