Front hitch

Anybody using one of these? This one is homemade, but it is great for pushing a trailer into a tight spot when the TC is on the truck. Holds the bike rack too.

I use a Curt front hitch on my signature truck. Had one on my F-250 as well. Use it with a bike rake or cargo platform for firewood.

As posted in another thread a few weeks ago ... had my local trailer guy build & install a 2" hitch - cost $150. One can never have enough hitches.

I recently installed a Draw-Tite front mount hitch that I bought from etrailer.com on my truck and love it. Now I can put the cargo carrier on the front end instead of on the back end and not have the problem of opening the camper door when I need to. I usually take along my 2000w inverter generator, five gallons of gas and seven gallons of extra water and it got to be a real pain to take all of that stuff off just to get inside the camper. I might even use it to push my boat down the ramp when I get to where I'm going so I don't submerge the camper in the lake.

My Dodge front hitch is also Curt. However, mine is a more sleek/hidden design than the previous picture.

Used for putting boat in storage along side my house, carrying hillbilly basket (carrier) and bike rack. I wouldn't have a pick up without a front hitch even if I didn't own a camper.

Looks like it bolts/sandwiches the tow hooks-simular to Bodiak design. I have a HiddenHitch on our Ford, we haul a scooter on it.

Money can't buy happiness but somehow it's more comfortable to cry in a

If there's a WILL, I want to be in it!

I have one that I use for the times when I want to bring the canoe along as that is about the only way to do it with a fifth wheel.
