I put a front bumper hitch on my car. It is rated 5000 lbs. pulling and 500 lbs. tongue weight.
Though it is usually intended for wench type service, it is very handy for a front bicycle mount.
Contrary to popular belief front mounting objects is not illegal or unsafe, as is often seen in snow plows, boat hauling front mounts and such.
I suppose a safety issue could be raised if one is dumb enough to severely restrict their vision or handling but then again, even with good mirrors, a TT severely impacts ones rear vision.
