Does this receiver come out where the license plate is currently? It looks to be a much higher mount than the Reese hitch option on Amazon. Thx.

The receiver comes out exactly where the license plate mounts. I purchased the optional license plate mount. '04 F250 Diesel.

It does come out right at the license plate. I flipped my license plate mount upside down and it screws in below where it was before. The license plate now sits just below where the receiver hitch is.

I don't have an F Sport but the hitch comes with additional plate for the F Sport model. There were also Steps in the instructions for the F Sport which I skipped but, they were straightforward as to use and location of the required plate.

I don't personally know of any bumper that the hitch's hole pattern or overall dimension fits exactly. It's a good, sturdy receiver and it comes with very substantial mounting bolts/hardware. When I centered the hitch on my step-bumper I had to drill 3 new holes in the receiver and 2 new holes in my step-bumper...about $50 in drill bits and a lot of hard drilling...but, after finally getting it all done, I'm happy with the end result and couldn't find anything else that would work any better or be as substantial.

I may be misunderstanding you question, but there isn't a hole in the receiver. The original Cover Plate is removed and replaced with the cover plate. Then the thumb screw (big screw with knurled edge) screws into the new cover plate and there are (2) allen screws that screw down that rest on the top of the receiver.

I have it on mine however you need mounting brackets that will attach where the foot pedals bolt on. From those this mount bolts right on. Love it so far. My atv came with the plates though. No idea where to get them. Could always fabricate some. I plan to get copies made of mine due to them being so old. If you have any questions reach out to me. I will gladly show pictures of what it looks like.

Your best bet is to check http://www.reese-hitches.com/, that is where I looked before I ordered mine.

not sure...no problems with mine, but, i bought another rugged ridge hook tow hitch that would only fit one of three receivers we have...on assorted vehicles. it is probably poor manufacturing tolerances and maybe too much paint..? pin it with a good, slightly smaller, bolt?

Is it really easier for someone else to do the search for you? And I'm stupid enough to do it I guess.Swift Hitch PB01 Receiver BatteryThere are cheaper out there but I won't tell you where they are.

Honestly I'm not sure, but this is not a good hitch. It is very sloppy and I wish I would have just stepped up to a better quality. I bought a new truck and traded off my old hitch with the old truck. Big mistake. The hitch is constantly banging around and is actually a little scary to pull with. Will be getting different one when I can afford it.

HiI have it on my 2013 F150. As far as I can guess since it mounts in the hitch it should clear in hight. On my truck when fully extended it just clears the edge of the tailgate and allows plenty of room to step up. For the price IMO it is some of the best a $$$$I have ever spent on a aftermarket item.

Unknown, I have a different receiver step which did not come with a "hitch pin". Already had a hitch pin that I used with my ball hitch adapter.

I do not have the hitch as this location at this time, but this was a problem with me and what i did was put put the hitch onto the ATV 'upside down' which lowered it effectively. BHM

I'd say build a custom plate. I took an old receiver hitch and welded it to the front frame. Made a plate that slides in like a ball hitch and it works perfect. easy to switch to the back bumper too. just make some extensions to hook to your battery or have an extra battery.

I don't know about the Reese but it's a lot cheaper than the Honda Accessory hitch though you have to install it yourself, and that was a pain.

I mine mounted in the center of the bumper, on the license plate frame. I has been there more than a year and works great. I is on a 08 Dodge Mangum. So I am not sure exactly sure where you mean when you say "in the rear bumper?"

see: my correction .... also the square channel/tube portion of the Hitchmate protrudes 21-1/2" from the front of the receiver body into the truck. so be sure it doesn't have any obstructions like the rear differential etc.

I ordered the plate with install from Jeep so I cannot help u. Suggest that you ask a rep fromBlue ox. Can tell u that I have towed 10,000 miles without a hitch. No pun intended. Tim
