A few threads about this. Here’s one.

Someone posted a pic of a "homemade" one that looked pretty darn good

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.

Those are a couple of nice set-ups...

Is it possible to get a couple of closer pictures, how it is attached?

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.

I'm looking for one too. Etrailer says they have one that will fit because someone sent them this picture. Does anyone have details on this installation? It's the Ecohitch Hidden Front Mount Hitch Receiver. $463.
