Increasing the functionality of truck, Jeep, van or SUV as a work machine or recreational vehicle is all too easy with a CURT front mount hitch. A front receiver hitch equips your vehicle with an industry-standard receiver tube opening, enabling you to add cargo space, mount a winch, launch a boat with ease, plow snow and much more. Whatever your working conditions or lifestyle, CURT front mount hitches maximize your vehicle's towing potential.

Like our rear mount trailer hitches, CURT front tow hitches are made from quality American steel, right here in the USA. They are designed, manufactured, finished and tested for the utmost quality. Each one is also made vehicle-specific, meaning the shape of frame, the position of the brackets and the placement of the mounting holes are all optimized to seamlessly integrate with the vehicle's design features. This ensures the best possible fit, maximum towing strength and the easiest possible installation.

This particular custom front trailer hitch is designed for vehicle-specific application on select years of the Jeep Wrangler JK (see application information to ensure proper fitment with the year, make, model and style of your vehicle). It comes with all necessary mounting hardware for a complete installation.

This Jeep Wrangler JK front trailer hitch receiver is fully tested and rated to provide a weight carrying capacity of 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight and 350 pounds tongue weight. It is tested according to SAE J684 for dependable safety for you and your crew. CURT front hitches are also rated for a straight-line pull capacity of 9,000 pounds, making them an excellent tool for recovery towing and winch applications.

All front receiver hitches are equipped with an industry-standard 2" x 2" receiver tube opening, providing a solid, versatile mount for a variety of towing accessories. The 2" hitch receiver is welded with a steel collar for added strength, and it has an open back for easy cleaning as needed. When not in use, the front receiver readily accepts a hitch tube cover, keeping it well-protected from water, dirt and debris.

A front trailer hitch is perfect for mounting a cargo carrier or even a bike rack for adding extra storage space to your vehicle without eliminating the option of towing a trailer. With a front receiver hitch, you can tow a camper, boat trailer, utility trailer or others with your rear mount hitch, and maximize cargo space with a cargo carrier or bike rack in the front.

One of the most popular applications of a front hitch is mounting a snow plow. A receiver hitch snow plow can easily and securely be attached to the standard 2" receiver tube, turning your truck into a highly functional winter vehicle.

Front hitches are also great for attaching a number of additional towing accessories to your vehicle. We offer a winch mount for installing an electric winch, a hitch step for easier access under the hood on larger vehicles, a skid plate to add protection on the front end of the vehicle, a spare tire mount with multiple holes for easy adjustment and a license plate holder for license plate relocation. These accessories all feature a standard 2" shank and can be used on a rear mount trailer hitch as well.

A front tow hitch provides enhanced control at the boat landing or when parking a trailer. The 2" receiver tube can be used to attach a ball mount and hitch up a trailer. The trailer can then be pushed by the vehicle for more direct control when launching your boat or when parking a trailer into a tight spot. For recovery towing applications, the front receiver hitch can accept a tow hook, allowing for straight-line pull capabilities on or off the road.

Like all CURT custom hitches, this Jeep Wrangler JK hitch is designed, fabricated, welded, finished and tested in the USA. It has a unique co-cured finish of liquid A-coat and black powder coat, protecting the hitch inside and out from rust, chipping and UV damage. This highly durable finish allows the hitch to perform season after season as a functional extension of your vehicle.

    Manufacturing defect - Way too narrow

    As others have stated here and other web-sites, there is a manufacturing defect. The side mount points are way too tight. We measured 3/16th of an inch more narrow than our frame.

    Our solution; a 3-ton floor jack, hitch standing upright with one side under the jack, small hardwood log ratchet strapped to the hitch (to keep it from kicking out as more pressure is added), a couple of 2x4 pieces, and jack away. We had to do this six times to get the spread that we needed. Others have mentioned using a hi-lift jack or a bottle jack; we don't have either.

    While this worked, I will now need to add some Rustoleum where small pieces of the powder coating broke off.

    What should have taken less than 30-minutes lasted 3:26.

    The written instructions are pretty good. I am suggesting that Curt swap steps 2 & 3.

    My suggestion:

    1. Remove skid plate from vehicle using 15mm socket, removing (7) hex bolts. Return skid plate and hardware to owner.
    2. Raise hitch into position and secure with (3) 1/2" flange nuts on each side.
    3. Fishwire (3) CM-SP10 spacers and (3) 1/2" carriage bolts through access hole and out mounting holes on each side. (As shown in the Fishwire Technique Diagram)
    4. Torque 1/2" hardware to 110 ft-lbs.

    We tried putting the carriage bolts in first, but the bolts and the fishwire got in the way of the already too narrow mounts.

    For step two, after getting the hitch mostly in place, my wife put a screwdriver through the hole on the passenger side to keep in place. We then got the driver side in place and installed the first carriage bolt very loosely. Moving back to the passenger side we installed both carriage bolts loosely. One more on the driver side, then the two bottom ones. Once all of the bolts were in place, I then tightened down to torque specs.

    In the end, while I like that Curt is made in America, and the quality seems solid, the amount of modification needed to fit is unacceptable.

    Good Quality

    After reading a few reviews, everyone said the same thing. Tight Fit. I had to us a Hydraulic jack to open the tolerances, so I only gave this receiver hitch 4 Starts instead of 5. Best thing you could do is have one of your quality control folks install this product and see for themselves that the tolerances need to be opened up by 1/8". Other than that Great product.
