Check the limit on the hitch. You typically see a 500 lbs tongue / 5000 trailer limit. Using a front hitch with a high walled trailer can be a wash over backing. People find it easier to maneuver since you're going forward, but you limited visibility around the trailer since you can no longer use your mirrors. Also you have to spend the time dropping the trailer, flipping the truck around, and reloading. With a little practice you can back into the tightest of spots.
