Sorry if this is a re-post

after waiting for years to get a front receiver hitch, CURT decided to make them again I suppose... I just got mine via UPS in the mail from http://www.autoanything.com, $141 shipped

Link: http://www.autoanything.com/towing/73A5 ... 94937.aspx

make sure you do a good coupon search, usually can always find 10-15% off of $150 or more, so just add something, I added a tire cover and entire order was $144 shipped...

:BANANA:

Even if I gave you my ARB? :twisted: :ROTFL:

It figures that these would come available after I find a deal on an ARB!

Oh, and ARB > Front Hitch.

Is this the style that goes behind the bumper? I don't want the one that hangs down below the front facia. It's too low for my liking.

I'm glad to see these are back in manufacturing. :D

reading the install directions goes a long way. They are in fact the ones that hang below the bumper.

According to the installation notes on etrailer.com, the front air dam has to be removed permanently and some minor wheel well trimming is required. This leads me to believe this style front hitch drops below the front facia.

I'm either going to have to make my own, or hope Reese comes back with their version of the front mounted hitch.
