I recently broke my neck and now have only about 1/2 the range of motion in my neck. So I am looking to put a FRONT receiver hitch for backing my 3000# travel trailer through my narrow gate. Has anyone put a bolt on receiver hitch on theirs? Mine is a 2020 Ram 1500 New body style, 2 wd, no tow hooks. Thanks.

I have one on my 2500, its a curt brand. My only complaint is it doesnt stick out very far from under the front bumper, and has limited uses.

I just bought a Curt front hitch #31090 the other day, and it fits great, on my 2020 2wd, new body style, with no tow hooks. Easy to install by myself by reversing the order in instructions on the first bolt on the driver side. Then redoing that bolt after the second bolt is installed on the passenger side properly. I didn't need to even use a jack. Removing the front air dam was a major pain and took over an hour to remove. The hitch itself went on in about an hour. I left the air dam off because that gives me more ground clearance. And it looks fine without it. If I find that leaving the air dam off noticeably decreases my gas mileage, I will install it later. It hit 102* here in Arizona yesterday. So after driving it for a couple months, if I find the air dam missing hurts gas mileage, that job can wait until cooler temperatures.
