IMPORTANT NOTICE:

While NorthHitch trailer hitches are built with high-strength materials and tested for exceptional weight ratings, your vehicle’s factory towing capacities are the ultimate limit. Always refer to your vehicle’s owner’s manual to determine its maximum towing and tongue weight ratings. No aftermarket hitch or accessory can increase your vehicle’s factory-rated towing capacities.

Using hauling accessories like extensions, cargo trays, bike racks, or other accessories that extend the load out from the trailer hitch, will significantly reduce the tongue weight capacity of your hitch system.

To estimate how your setup will affect tongue weight, we recommend using our Maximum Hitch Weight (Tongue Weight) Estimator before hauling your payload (cargo trays, bike racks, etc).

Disclaimer: It is the user’s responsibility to ensure safe towing practices and to confirm that all loads fall within the limits of the lowest-rated component in the towing system. Torklift is not liable for any damage or injury resulting from the misuse or overloading of towing/hauling equipment.

2023 Ford F-250 Super Duty

Pictures could be better in the instructions, never could understand what the purpose of the carriage bolts that came with it were, analyzed where they go on the bumper and they really had no purpose at all so I skipped them and left the stock in place. The product itself is phenomenal! So happy I discovered it while looking for another front end receiver. I’ve had previous front end receivers on previous trucks, they did the job but having it up higher on the grill is genius, I almost spent thousands on a ranch hand replacement bumper so I could have the receiver up higher but stumbled across this product! The fact it’s inset and hidden is really clean and the icing on the cake! Did it by myself with a jack and stool and used the tape technique to hold the front bumper mounts in place. Saw the tape trick on YouTube.

this is second one i have put on a superduty. Instructions need a bit of tweaking with better pics and or verbiage. HOWEVER, you can put this on without removing bumper, it does take the patience of a budda , but the 2 semi hidden 8 mm bolts on the air plenum can be removed with a 1/4 ratchet.

i used a small bottle jack stuck inside the hitch and lifted it up then cribbed it, then placed jack on cribbing and lifted again slowly and then slide the hitch into place
the 8 mm valance bolt dead center of the bumper needs to be removed temporarily, as well as clipping a plastic alignment pin
i use normal MECHANIC tools, from ,y 40 plus years of wrenching
take your time and its an 2 day job if your one person
i also used some under body felt panels to make a plenum for the air that gets directed up to the radiator with the plastic plenum, plus it makes it dark and protects the engine lower pulley from road spray

2024 F250 7.3 Godzilla- easy install, fit and finish is perfect, a must for those wanting a hidden front hitch3
Review by
Issue I had was EcoHitch was approximately 5/16” narrower than frame rails of truck frame. Requiring me to come up with spacer and 2ea longer proper grade bolts. These were used on passenger side as it also helped with centering hitch tube to center between frame rails of truck. I did install without removing bumper, but you need proper tools and finesse ;) I also reused center plastic air diverter by cutting and sectioning it. Using original upper fasteners and drilling new holes on lower part that lined up with plastic fasteners going through bumper. End result looks better than factory.
