Front Reciever
Anyone install a front receiver to the front of their rig? I have a 2012 and am looking for a front receiver to park a boat in a tight short approach spot. If so, what make? Thanks

You could probably whip something up pretty easily using the recovery hook brackets. Don't know if anyone makes one?

I believe drawtite makes one that uses the tow hook bolts. With the front winch any others may be a problem. I guess it depends on the size of your boat
