I have a 03 Ford Escape that is solely used for beach driving. I recently received a rod/cooler rack as a birthday present and would like to have it on the front of my truck verses the back, so I can still open the lift gate. I have looked on online for front mount receiver hitches for my truck but have had no luck... Anyone no where I can purchase one???

 

I see this causing cooling issues.

I have never seen one for the our vehicles. It I'm sure you could get one made pretty cheap. Especially if you found a donor receiver and just had to have brackets cut off and new knees welded on.

 

Try Curt Mfg.
