Pulling a camper on the back, bakflip tonneau on the bed full of stuff, and canoe over that (stake rack). I do have a receiver on the back of the camper, but I can't see the bikes way back there, and they bounce around too much. I plan on getting a cargo box for that eventually also. My truck is really a tow vehicle primarily.

So, after going back and forth with Curt, and studying, comparing, measuring, etc,...
Though Curt says it's only for EcoBoost, I can tell you that the Curt 31057 fits perfectly on my 2012 FX4 5.0 (coyote) Screw 4x4, no issues, nothing strange at all. (Not that it will work for anyone else...disclaimer... )
If fact, the HUGE advantage (IMHO) is this version of a front hitch does NOT require the removal of ANY air deflectors, or ANY modifications/cutting to anything. It also requires NO drilling, and you can KEEP your tow hooks.
I'm at a loss as to why Curt does not list this one as a choice for some non-ecoboost F150 models, it obviously works.
