Category: avalanche hitches 2009
A CURT front trailer hitch provides a useful receiver tube that allows you to utilize the front end of your vehicle for a variety of towing applications. These front-mounted hitches can be used for mounting a winch, a snow plow, numerous towing accessories, and even some trailering applications. When space is limited, a front trailer hitch is commonly employed to hold a cargo carrier, freeing up space inside the vehicle for additional cargo and making the rear mount receiver available to pull a trailer. At the boat ramp, your boat trailer can be hitched up to the front receiver hitch, giving you enhanced control over the trailer as you launch.
