Draw tite front mount hitch

I am wanting to know if anyone has installed/used a front mounted hitch on a F150 ecoboost. I am looking at a draw titie 65061 to put on the front of my 2012 F150 FX4 ecoboost. I am worried about ground clearance and overall operation.
  • I have one on a 06 F150.

    Ground clearance was a problem originally as I mounted it below the plastic bumper plastic extension. Cut plastic and moved up (about 3 inches),no problem.

  • I am looking at one of these for my F350, I know, not your question, but isn't the hole for the pin behind the valance so you have to get on the ground to put the tow bar in?
  • I have a Curt mounted on the front of my 4x4 GMC 3500. It sits below the front air dam. First trip out I removed a .large chunk of pavement at Burger King while pulling into the road. You will have to be cognisant of the hitch but since that first time have yet to encounter any more problems. Good luck

    I have one on my F350, the pin is in front of the valance.
