If you don't want your ground clearance/approach angle compromised at the front of the vehicle, the EcoHitch # 306-X7904 would certainly be the way to go. The hitch installs so the receiver tube will sit behind the front licence plate. The hitch includes a license plate bracket that would install into the receiver opening so you could continue to display the front plate if your state requires one.

I've edited a photo showing how the EcoHitch and the Draw-Tite # 65076 front mount receivers would look once installed. The Curt would install in the same manner as a the Draw-Tite and would be positioned so the receiver tube is located under the front bumper.
