I had one on for awhile. Took it off when I needed a battery module replaced. Did not want to explain my thoughts to the dealer. I miss it and will put it back on.

I thought I had some photos, but I can’t find them. The receiver bolted right up with four bolts, washers and lock washers. This was a Curtis hitch from a 2020 F150 rear receiver. No drilling. The air dam when down is in the way. Did not bother anything except it was not working and I did not want to drill or cut out a place for the dam to go around the receiver.

Ya, you did a really sweet job on that, looks like a production/fab job 👍
Thank you. But all credit goes to GarrettBlake. He designed and fabricated the receiver. My role was to install and use it. It’s excellent.
