A CURT front trailer hitch allows you to use the front end of your vehicle for a variety of towing applications. They can be used for mounting a winch, a snow plow, a number of towing accessories and can even be used for some trailering applications. When space is limited, a front trailer hitch is commonly used to hold a cargo carrier, freeing up space inside the vehicle for extra cargo and making the rear mount receiver available to pull a trailer. At the boat ramp, your boat trailer can be hitched up to the front receiver hitch, giving you better control over the trailer as you launch. Some of the other accessories that can be used with a front tow hitch are the CURT winch mount, step pad, license plate holder, spare tire mount, skid shield and tow hooks. All CURT front trailer hitches provide a useful receiver tube to accept a 2" x 2" shank, and they are commonly used on trucks, vans and SUVs. This front trailer hitch is rated for 5,000 lbs. GTW and 500 lbs. TW. It also has a straight-line pull rating of 9,000 lbs. It is designed to be a custom trailer hitch for certain years of the Ford E150, E150 Econoline, E250, E250 Econoline, E350 Econoline and E350 Super Duty (to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary hardware for a complete installation and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty.

Yes, the CURT 2" Front Receiver Hitch, Select Ford E-Series Vans Trailer Hitch (Part #BKDK33055) is designed to fit the 2003-2007 Ford E-150.
The CURT 2" Front Receiver Hitch, Select Ford E-Series Vans Trailer Hitch (Part #BKDK33055) Drilling is required for installation. Typical installation time is 30-60 minutes. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.
Part number 33055 is designed for 1991–2007 Ford Econoline vans in E-150, E-250, and E-350 models, including RV cutaway versions. Confirm your van's year and model match this range before purchasing.
The hitch has a gross load capacity of 5,000 lbs. trailer weight and 500 lbs. tongue weight when used as a weight-carrying hitch. When used as a straight-line pull (recovery), the maximum line pull is 9,000 lbs. However, you must not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity, which may be lower. Check your vehicle's owner's manual or specification plate on the driver's door frame.
Yes, drilling is required. You must enlarge the existing front holes to 17/32" diameter. A 17/32" drill bit and power drill are required tools. The installation also requires fishwire hardware and removal of plastic rivets from the front valance.
Required tools are: 1/2" fishwire, ratchet, 1/2" socket, torque wrench, power drill, and 17/32" drill bit. A torque wrench is essential because all 1/2" hardware must be torqued to 110 ft-lbs.
The kit includes: 4× 1/2"-13 UNC carriage bolts, grade 8, zinc-plated (part 10-10272); 4× 1/2"-13 UNC serrated flange nuts, grade 8, zinc-plated (part 20-00062); 4× 0.250" × 1.00" × 3.00" square hole spacers (part CM-SP6); and 2× 1/2" fishwire (part 1_2 FISHWIRE). All fasteners are included.
1. Remove all plastic rivets from the front valance (return to customer). 2. Enlarge existing front holes to 17/32". 3. Fishwire a 1/2" carriage bolt and CM-SP6 spacer into each hole. 4. Raise the hitch into position over the bolts. 5. Secure using the four 1/2" flange nuts. 6. Torque all 1/2" hardware to 110 ft-lbs.
All 1/2" hardware (carriage bolts and flange nuts) must be torqued to 110 ft-lbs. Use a calibrated torque wrench to ensure proper tightness. Under-torquing may cause fasteners to loosen; over-torquing may strip threads or damage components.
Yes. Step 1 of the installation requires you to remove all plastic rivets on the front valance. These should be returned to the customer. This is necessary to access the mounting holes.
You need a 17/32" drill bit to enlarge the existing front holes. This is a specific size required for proper fitment of the 1/2" carriage bolts.
The GAWR is the maximum weight your vehicle's front axle can safely carry. Do not exceed this rating when using the hitch. Exceeding GAWR may overload the front axle and suspension, resulting in accident, property damage, and personal injury. Find your GAWR on the specification plate located on your vehicle's driver's door frame or in the owner's manual. Measure gross front axle weight by placing the front wheels of your loaded vehicle on a scale.
No. Never use a ball or ball mount as an anchor point for a tow strap or winch cable. Severe personal injury or death could result. Use only OEM tow hooks, recovery eyes, or a clevis mount for attachment of tow straps or winch cables.
For maximum line pull rating, the winch cable must not exceed 15 degrees up or down from horizontal, and must not exceed 45 degrees left or right from straight ahead. Exceeding these angles may overload the winch, winch mount, and front-mounted receiver.
Attach the return cable to the tow hook or recovery eye, not to the winch mount. Attaching to the winch mount may overload the winch mount and/or front-mounted receiver.
Reposition your front-mounted license plate if it is obstructed by the hitch. Ensure the hitch does not obstruct any vehicle lights. Both of these are required for legal operation and safety.
Yes. The hitch extends the front of your vehicle, which may reduce approach angle and rear wheel traction. Reduced rear wheel traction could affect handling. Reduce speed and drive with caution. Use caution when parking and maneuvering due to the reduced approach angle.
Yes. The hitch must allow free air flow into the grille opening. Blocking airflow can cause engine overheating and damage.
No. The hitch must not obstruct the driver's view. Ensure it is positioned so that visibility is not compromised.
Periodically check the hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. Regular inspection helps prevent fastener loosening and component failure during use.
