Hi, I'm Ron, a Ocean County guy with a brand new Black 2005 F150 FX4 SuperCrew.

Now the questions... Has anyone here with the newer (04' - 05') F150 installed the Draw-Tite front hitch? How low is the mount? Anybody else here take their trucks on the beach?

 

Welcome to FTE and our NJ chapter Ron!!!!

 

Hi Ron, welcome to FTE. I'm in Ocean County also. I only installed a rear hitch, no help. Where are you located?

 

Thanks for the welcome. I'm in Seaside Heights.

 

Seaside heights, hehe, got in trouble there 19 years ago the weekend before i left for the army. hehe

 

I installed the Draw-Tite front hitch on my truck last Saturday. It took about 20 minutes. It mounts with 4 bolts to the frame (no drilling required) and it's good to go.

 

Here is my Hidden Hitch with a few coolers on it ready to go to the races at Watkins Glen last week.
Receiver comes out right in the middle of the valance.
I actually installed it upside down for a better fit.
Great for my WARN winch - I can mount in in back or front.
