Front receiver on 2012 generation F350
Anyone that has installed a front receiver on a 2012 or that generation F350 - is it a “simple bolt on installation” or is some fabrication required? Thanks

Hi Yeti - Hitchweb - yes.
I want a high model that is cut through the front valence. More clearance, less leverage on the mounts.
The main uses for the front receiver will be to carry a small motorcycle on a Versa Haul when towing the fishin’ boat, or a junk basket, or maybe a plug in winch. When launching a boat single handed with the camper on it might be easier to push the trailer from the front. In softer ground the heavier axle is on drier ground.
When carrying something you can’t see from the driver seat I’d use what oilfield drivers call rookie sticks to keep the front box out of the shrubbery at the mall.
