I have one too on the front. I have to admit, I have not used it yet though. Since my truck is as high as it is (4WD diesel), I would probably need a 4-6 inch drop hitch to make it get in the garage.

| Post subject: | Front Mounted Tow Hitch |
I have a very tight garage spot for the Horizon 190 and I have a diesel truck. Needless to say every time I put the boat back into the garage it fills up with diesel fumes. It is also hard to angle the boat tight to the wall. I recently missed my chance at getting a reasonably priced powered trailer dolly so I went with a front mounted tow hitch instead. At least it is always with me and the trailer. I have to tell you it works better than I thought it would. No fumes in the garage and I can actually see well enough to spot the trailer quickly and tight to the wall. I know it is a bit of a hassle to switch the truck around but the benefits outweigh the trouble. Now if I take the rig to a campground I can also spot the trailer a lot easier at the camp site. The other benefit is that the Admiral (love her to death) and I used to use the Motorola Talk-Abouts to guide me into the garage and now that is also avoided as I can pretty much do it all myself. I rate the hitch very high on the consumer report “does it actually work” list. The Liq |

I've had one on the front of my 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee for about 5 years or so....best thing ever for backing up any trailer, when you have a very narrow driveway and a narrow street (like I do) and you can do it without a spotter. |
