Front mount hitch

[James1414d]

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 )

Nice job with the hitch mount. LOL at the scooter though. (just kidding )

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.
