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 Ram 1500 (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.

The gross load capacity when used as a straight line pull is 9,000 lbs max. For maximum line pull rating, the winch cable must not exceed 15 degrees angle up or down from horizontal, or 45 degrees angle left or right from straight ahead. Exceeding these angles or the maximum line pull rating may overload the winch, winch mount, and/or front mounted receiver.
No. Never use a ball and/or ball mount as an anchor point for a tow strap or winch cable. Use OEM tow hooks, recovery eyes, or a clevis mount for attachment of a tow strap or winch cable. Severe personal injury or death could result from improper use.
Attach the return cable to the tow hook or recovery eye when using a snatch block. Do not attach the return cable to the winch mount, as this may overload the winch mount and/or front mounted receiver.
Do not exceed the front axle Gross Weight Rating (GAWR) as listed in your owner's manual or on the specification plate on the driver's door frame. Exceeding GAWR may overload the front axle and/or suspension, resulting in accident, property damage, and personal injury. Do not obstruct vehicle lights, the grille opening, or driver view. Reposition the front-mounted license plate if obstructed. Rear wheel traction may be reduced, affecting handling; reduce speed and drive with caution. The hitch extends the front of the vehicle and may reduce approach angle; use caution when parking and maneuvering.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. This is essential for safe operation.
