Has anyone put a front hitch on this vehicle and have a recommendation? It appears that the Draw-Tite 65001 is the appropriate one but I would love to hear real-world user experiences.
Thank you!
You do need to make sure you have the front AWR capacity for whatever carrier and load you intend to hang out on the front tho.

The vehicle FAWR is 4600, and rear being 9450 for a total of 12,390. NCC is 1660. How do I ascertain out how much of that is the front vs rear axles? My wife and I are ~340 combined, and do not carry much in the front area, so I'm really looking for the overall cab + engine weight and haven't found a source.
