Got me a front receiver!

Recommended Posts

Nice layout.  Mine being a touch low, does dig the ground occasionally.   But it's still working!

Hi, new here having recently bought a used NV3500SL Passenger and getting it set up for towing our camper and hauling dogs.  I came here to ask a question about front hitch options since there appears to be none commercially available, and see there is already this thread on the topic.  I too am primarily looking to use it for cargo (bike rack, cargo platform, etc.) so it doesn't need to be full Class III/IV capable.  It appears the options already explored and used have been an entirely new custom hitch, or modifying a front hitch designed for the Titan.  I was wondering however, if anyone has tried to use a multi-fit receiver, such as this one?  It hasn't been identified for this use, it is primarily designed/ fitted for multiple older pre-2000 trucks, but it looks adjustable enough to maybe work when compared to the Titan front receiver.  Any thoughts on whether it might be worth a try?  Thanks!

@uconnjack That link doesn't seem to work.  I"m looking for a front hitch too, though I want to carry a 300 lb motorcycle on it.  Wish there was a good commercial solution!

Finally got around to trying the Reese universal hitch (Reese Trailer Hitch 37042) on the front of the NV3500, and it works great.  I just removed and used the existing tow hook mounts, and installed it upside down to give more ground clearance (just required cutting out a notch in the bottom of the bumper.)
