Front End Hitch
3 Attachment(s)
I am so pleased with my new front end hitch on my truck I thought I would share it with everyone. If any of you have a tight spot to put your boat like I do, this is the trick. My neighbor let me know he was not happy with me having to use part of his front yard to back my boat/trailer into my driveway. My 2007 F-250 Crew Cab's wheelbase is a little too long for me to make that sharp turn by backing in. However, since I had the new front end hitch installed, it is much easier. Here is a picture of my boat on the street in front of my house so you can see the street is not very wide. I have also included pics of the hitch with and witout the bar/ball in place. As you can see, the hitch is hard to see without the bar/ball installed. The only modification we had to make was move the license plate down just a little.

Nice job did you make it your self or can you buy it for the ford?

The Ford dealer could not help me. It took me a little while to find a hitch that did not require my fog lights to be removed. The one I ended up with had to be modified so I could keep my fog lights. I bought it at Davis Auto Sales, a specialized truck store in Richmond, VA. They installed it and I think they did an awesome job.

I can back that boat in places you could not put it with the front hitch.

Yep...i have one on my Tahoe and LOVE it! you get some funny looks from people that have never seen one before though..... :D

We have one on our F-350 but had to remove the fog lamps. Had another set put on in place of the OEM ones.
Originally had the same problem getting a 45 Sonic in/out of driveway. After many attempts and a torn up lawn did I finally get it right using the back hitch. Front hitch was much easier but a longer process. I finally gave up and bought a whole lot better trailer that I can put in the driveway or anywhere else for that matter with the rear or front hitch. |
