Question Front Mounted Hitch

I am considering getting a Front Mounted hitch to be used with a Bike carrier. I tow a Travel Trailer behind my Supercrew and would like to put the bikes up front.

I would like to see a picture of a front mounted hitch on a F150 is anyone has one.

Any other comment from anyone who has done this would be helpful.

Thanks

I don't have one but, I have heard that no cutting is required on the lower valance.

So, the good news is no cutting required.

The bad news is, since no cutting is required, that front receiver is gonna be low. You are going to have to always be aware that it is there when nose parking.

I would invest in a soft plug. Something like a tennis ball that would give yet, serve notice.

I installed a Reese front hitch on my 2001 Screw. Bolt on installation that puts it under the factory tow rings. Doesn't hang too low, makes spotting a trailer very easy.

Me too! Me Too! I'd also like to see a pic or three of the Reese on the front... I've seen the Hidden Hitch and it sits out under the front airdam! WAY too low to clear a dune (and pushing parking-block territory!)
