Recommended Front Mount Hitch for a 2005 Ford F-150
Question:
I would like a front hitch for my 2005 Ford F150. I will be using it to bush my trailer in the driveway. The trailer tongue wt is 670 Lbs and the tow bars you sell are rated for 500 Lbs. would the 500 Lb work since I am only pushing the trailer to park it?

Expert Reply:
To add a front mount hitch to your 2005 Ford F-150, I recommend the Draw-Tite item # 65043. This front hitch mounts below your front bumper so it will be the perfect height to hook up to your trailer. That is quite a bit over the 500 lbs capacity but if you move some things around at the front of your trailer it would work. If you are unable to lower your tongue weight you can use the 2" ball Trailer Valet XL Trailer Dolly item # TVXL2 or 2-5/16" ball item # TVXL25. Both of these Trailer Valet's have a 1,000 lbs tongue weight capacity.
