In the US they actually make a hitch mount for the front of the truck as well

those front hitches are really handy for maneuvering trailers with.

Not to mention some decent front protection lol

Front Hitch

I don't suppose anyone has a drawing of one of these by some chance?
I made a simple one to move my caravan from a genuine tie down bracket.

What would the weight be of that combination?

Is that for the front of a D40??

If so, looks like it attaches to the 4 non rated taped holes on the front of the chassis. Not sure if I'd be happy pushing/pulling or winching with only 4 non rated mounting points????

It mounts to the recovery mount points on the chassis.Only rated to 3500lbs or 1500kg
