I had some people ask me to share some details about my front mount hitch. I'm very happy with it for my purposes, which is hauling my scooter. I had the carrier on the back, but then I wasnt able to open the tailgate so this was my solution.
I was able to use the hitch and keep my tow hooks, but if you were doing anything heavy duty with it I wouldn't recommend it. Install was pretty simple. You do need to trim the valence panel, which I need to redo, but it looks clean in my opinion. The factory license plate mount cant be used at the same time, so I dirict mounted the plate to the bumper. ( The hitch is a Curt C87FR which appers to have been updated since my purchase )20200722_192120.jpg20200723_193726.jpg20200727_193311.jpg20200727_194055.jpg

Nice job with the hitch mount. LOL at the scooter though. (just kidding :p )
 
Not that it helps you much now, but they have swing arm hitches that can support up to 350lbs.

Keeps that front end looking pretty :)
 
How were you able to keep the tow hooks instructions say to remove ? Looking to purchase that mount for a snow blade for snow removal. Looks great..

I think they tell you not to use the hooks for liability issues. If you get the kit, you'll see why. I think it will be plenty sturdy however.
