Bodiak Front Hitch

Anyone ever take off the tow hooks and using the existing drilled holes for a bodiak front hitch? Other than Bodiak anyone else make them? We would like to put bicycles on front of truck. Thanks!

  • E-Trailer too, mine is a Draw tite as I like there J hook set up. Again no cutting dam or looseing the tow hooks, easy install.

    Just installed a Curt receiver on the front of my GMC. Used four existing bolts and added two. Took about 30 minutes to install. Looks great with no modification to front air dam. Ordered off of Amazon for $129.


    Yep! Mine's sitting here waiting for install. Just got it yesterday from etrailer.
  • Curt front receiver on my Ford, no drilling, no removing the tow hooks or fog lights
  • I have a Curt front hitch installed for the bike rack. Two years and no rust. It took about 30minutes to install but I did have to notch out the front air dam.

    Dang....not good!
  • Check out what is made for your truck at etrailer. Some front hitches are very simple to install with only 4 bolts and minor cutting of an air dam if you have one.
  • Bodiak doesn't require removal of the tow hooks. They just fasten to them. That's the beauty of it.
