Review on CURT 31068 Front Receiver Hitch - 2-Inch for Ford Expedition, F-150, Lincoln Navigator by Bim Cook

Purchased for F150 Supercrew 2014 4x4 with 5.0 Engine. The goal was to quickly and firmly mount a hitch slide mount receiver made from 2X2X1/4 square tubing into a bracket that attaches to a homemade Hatteras surf pole. He's great at that! Easily holds all his gear and Grizzly's heavy ice box full of ice and fish. Pretty easy to install on this truck but it fits the frame very snugly. It took a little leverage to "spread" the mounting flanges, but they lifted and aligned with the intended mounting points. To do this you will need to remove the choke and to access the receiver tube you will need a small overlay from the plastic secondary choke. The instructions are pretty simple. I recommend hiring a partner to help with the fitting as it is difficult for one person to do this from one side of the car at ground level. I had the front end on the blocks but it was still a push for me. It's best to elevate the car at least a foot or more. It took me about an hour and a half to lift the truck myself and complete the installation. Many other uses to install other racks or a 2X2 square tube hitch.
