Hey guys, John here with realtruck.com. Today we're going to show you how to install the Curt front mount receiver hitch on this 2015 GMC Sierra Denali 2500.
All right guys, we've got our hitch out of the box. You can see here it comes with everything you need to install this on the truck. It comes of course with your receiver hitch, your instruction sheet, and your hardware for mounting this on there. So let's get this on the truck.
First thing we have to do here guys is to remove this bolt right here. We'll do that on both sides, and then this bolt up here we're just going to loosen this one a little bit, just so that way we can move stuff around a little if we need to. We've got this bolt out down here, so the next thing we're going to do is we're going to take our fish wire and we're going to put our plate on it, and our carriage bolt, and then we're going to attach it on here just like this. What that's going to do is that’s going to allow us to be able to fish this through a hole up here. We're going to run it up through the frame here, and what we want to do is bring it out this hole right here. All right, we've got this slipped through where it's going to go, so we can go ahead and grab a hold of that and pull it and at the same time fish our bolt and stuff along through here. Now what we want to do then is pull it up in place, just like so, and leave this wire on it until we get ready to actually put the hitch in place.
So what we are going to do now then is we are going to go ahead and go over to the other side and do the same thing over there, and then we'll be ready to show you guys how to put the hitch up on the truck.
All right guys, so what we're going to do now then is we're going to take our wire that we used to fish our bolts through and we're going to pull it through the slots on the sides of our hitch. Let's go ahead and push the bolt back inside a little bit because we'll have this wire on here to pull it back in place. The reason why we're doing that is because, I'll show you here in a minute, this fits pretty snug up against the frame rail and with the bolt sticking out we won't be able to get this up in place so we need to push that bolt back through a little.
Once those bolts are pushed back in, then what we'll do is get our hitch lined up here. You can do this by hand, if you've got help it's a lot easier, or if you have something like this, you can do it on the ground actually, and just use a floor jack or something to get this up in place. We've pulled our bolt through, we'll go ahead and put the nut on it and you want to kind of lightly do this, guys, so you don't knock the thing back down inside there again. Get that started. Once that's started and held in place, then what we can do then is go ahead and go over and do the other side, the same way as we did this side. 866-554-0581 Free shipping for orders over $100!

dang the fish wire trick! 1st time I've seen that for a bolt on a chassis.
Must have edited out the new curse words that was invented during installation. It must have been truly simple!
If you had help it's a lot easier.... Really 2 guys laying down fighting to get it done ✅.
would this fit on the 2012 ford escape?
Nicely done! Question for ya, I want to put a front Hitch receiver on my 2021 Chevy Colorado ZR2, I know the skid plate has to be modified, but what curt hitch receiver would fit this vehicle? Is the chassis a Silverado 1500?
I assume that if you mount one of these, you probably cant mount a snow plow as well? I have an 07 silverado - looks like this mount and the snow plow mounts attach to the same spot of the frame.
Actually, if your plow mounts into a 2-inch receiver it works just fine. However, if your plow uses a two point mounting system like the K2 plows then the receiver will be in the way of mounting this up.
Need Front 2" hitch for 1999 Toyota 4Runner Limited 4WD ? Do you have any info (Brand/ Product number/SKU) on compatible hitch for this 4 Runner. Great video Thank you.
“It’s that easy!” Ok, now show us how easy it is when the truck isn’t on a lift, and you have regular ratchets.
Hi Matt, for the purpose of video we do all of our installs on a lift. The front hitch should not take very long on the ground. Very simple install. www.realtruck.com/curt-front-mount-receiver-hitch/
or show the part where you got a wrench on that top bolt and snugged her down ;)
Do you make them for a 1999 F350 4x4 6.8?
Gene, we do! You can find them here, realtruck.com/p/curt-front-mount-receiver-hitch/v/ford/f350/1999/.
alot of skips in the video - but looks easy to put on - use ramps
I don't know about easy.
Where did the wire go ??
+Brad Andre The wire was only used to pull the bolt through the front of the trucks frame to provide a mounting point for the front hitche. After that we discarded the wire. Thank you and let me know if you have any other questions.
Why do need front mount hitch
youtube it why? :)
For rapid rearward trailer towing. For mounting SOME snow blades. For a front step. For a hook so you can apply huge amounts of pul to become unstuck.
