Can Front Hitch on 2015 Ford F-150 Carry a Bike Rack
Question:
I have the Hollywood electric bike rack for my 70lb and 55lb bikes. We are interested in putting a front receiver on our 2015 F150 to carry our bikes when towing an RV. With the receiver turning pin lock on the Hollywood rack, how safe is traveling with the bikes out front? Which of the two brands is recommended?

Expert Reply:
While carrying bikes on a bike rack in a front hitch isn't most peoples first choice it is very doable for your 2015 Ford F-150. Basically you have to keep in mind that it's going to add length to the front of truck, it might impair visibility somewhat, might make your headlights less effective, and it might make your turn signals less visible.
I like the additional crossmember bracing that the Draw Tite # 65067 has over the Curt so it would be what I would go with.
