I'm trying to visualize how that works. Is it because the steering wheels are close to the hitch? Or because you are looking forward instead of backward into mirrors?
Does a front receiver have to be rated as high as a rear one? What is it attached to? Seems like the front of trucks is all plastic now.
Do they turn quickly or slowly with a front receiver? Can you do 90˚ turns easily (without crushing something on the truck or trailer)?
Do you always unhitch when you have to back into a space and turn the truck around and use the front receiver, or do you just use it for really hard back-ins?
This interests me because while I have lots of acres now, we want to move and may not be able to find a house with easy parking. This seems a lot better and cheaper than buying a dolly.
