Has anyone mounted this on the front of a truck, receiver hitch

Good day, while the rack could be mounted on the front of a vehicle, we do recommend only using it in it's intended capacity, which is installed on the rear of the vehicle. Thanks!

I doubt it would work very well unless the liner is flat and in full contact with the trucks bed on the sides, otherwise the bracket wont be supported well enough by the self tapping screws you have to use to attach it. Also the cable holding up your tailgate prevents the box from swinging out far enough to make these boxes accessible. Im not that happy with mine to be honest

What problems are you looking for? Been using this hitch setup since 2007. I tow quite a lot and back up my trailer in my storage unit many time a month with no issues.

Should just need front 2 inch receiver hitch. only issue you may have is truck height. you may need a dropped receiver hitch.

I have it mounted on the top of the receiver hitch pointed at the trailer ball. That way I can use it to align the ball with the hitch. When the trailer isn't on the truck I can see behind the truck without any obstruction.It's velcrow'd to the ball and I used a couple of heavy duty tie wraps.2 years+ and 40,000 miles later and it hasn't moved.Hope this helps.

Many hitch receivers have a threaded bolt hole on the side. If you have one of these, you could thread a bolt in until the step is snug.

This Receiver mounts directly to the factory bumper using the existing holes. No brackets or drilling. Simply slide it under, align the holes and feed the bolts through. Hope you have skinny fingers as theres not much room for the nuts between the steel bumper and the outer plastic bumper shell.

I cannot speak for an F150; however, my superduty and this did not get along very well. I had to make some very minor alterations to get my hitch to fit through the light fixture. Once the "mouth" of the fixture was ground down a little bit, the hitch went in well. My problem then, was hooking up my trailer safety chains to the receiver; the fixture covered up the reciever's safety chain attachment points. Once I figured out a remedy for that, the light fixture lasted a whopping 2 iterations, and by then I was so frustrated with it... I discarded it.

I put a Kurt hitch on my 2013 Santa Fe sport. Aside from the fact that i wish it sat a couple inches higher, it is perfectly even.

NO, is the short answer. You will have to unplug and remove the unit, and allow the receiver to receive the hitch.

Though you could likely find a way to use your rack in the existing opening, it is not designed with a pin hole if your hitch did slip in the receiver. I imagine a good hitch shop could fabricate something and drill the pin hole to secure your rack to the cargo carrier.

you need something to bolt it onto. If you have a hole in your bumper for a hitch ball, then you can bolt it thru that. You will need to go somewhere and purchase a bolt, nut, washer, and lock washer for the installation. I bolted mine onto a receiver hitch bar, in the place where the ball would be mounted. If you don't get it really tight, it can tend to swivel a bit, but I use tie downs to stop any lateral movement...

I have one. I guess you could mount it to the front if you wanted but I mount mine on the back so I don't have to drive thru a cloud of whatever im spreading.

If you can install a 2" receiver on the front of your truck it could be done. Although it is beyond me why anyone would want to do it.

If not it is pretty close. Nice heavy duty receiver hitch. Had it for about a year performs well.
