Front Reciver hitch
#2
RE: Front Reciver hitch
DrawTite has one in production already and they also sell an optional removable skid that fits in the receiver when it's not being used. It's a bolt-on installation with no drilling needed. They have no picture's of one installed on their site the last time I looked. From the description, it does seem like it may limit approach angles a bit because installation requires permanent removal of the front skit-plate so the hitch can hang down under the front bumper (part of front bumper where tow hooks are mounted). While the installation seems fast and easy, I'd like to wait for a better design.
I'd really like to see a design where the receiver is integrated into or through the front bumper between the tow hooks. This should help preserve the front approach angle and would look much better too. Only issue would be to relocate the front license plate, maybe a removeable bracket could be made that fits into the front hitch? If there is nothing out there already like this, a good hitch installation shop could probably fabricate it easily.
