Thanks!...that's the concept I am after.

Hi cmeade....thanks for the tip, but I guess now I will have to see what it looks like.... cause the curt is already on it's way to me. I purchased it a couple of days ago after speaking to someone at etrailer about what to buy. They never mentioned any cutting and if I remember correctly I watched a you tube video on installation. Can you explain a little more in detail what has to be cut?

As for blocking the front license plate I guess I will just relocate it on the front of the hitch if it becomes an issue.

My truck does not have the tow hooks...so that even made me feel better about installing a front hitch...will give me a tow point and place for future winch.

Thanks,
Phil

The hitch is square and I had to cut 4" by 14" slots with my die grinder in the plastic on each end besides the square hole for the hitch. I spent about 3 hours installing and measuring and cutting and reinstalling the plastic valance. Bolting the hitch to the frame was about ten minutes. If they had curved the hitch it would have fit behind the valance and not stuck out. I guess they (Curt) think one hitch can fit all!!!
