Is anyone aware of a front-mount tow hitch for the Ranger yet?

Worth looking into.
I'm planning on getting this (and snowsport plow) and will let you know if doable.
Not an imminent purchase, but on the books - fwiw

EDIT: typos

Definitely do so. I'm interested and may pop soon to try it out.

I've seen winch bumpers that have a 2" square receiver built in, and I believe I've seen a front receiver on this site. (which I cannot find).

There's another thread by Desert Rider.

They are asking the same question.

Looking at this again I have some thoughts.

Do you guys think it could be flipped over? If there's room between the rails you might be able to mount it upside down, cutting a hole in the lower valence for the reciever. This would keep everything tucked up into the truck, eliminating impact to approach angle and allowing the FX-4 skidplate to be retained.

On further research there's too much bumper metal behind the valence that would need to be cut for this to work for me.

That one eliminates your fx4 skid plate and replaces it with a skimpy one. I want to have my cake and eat it too!

I'm still wondering if you could trim a hole in the FX4 plate to make it fit. I'm just not brave enough to try - my metal working skills are not great.....

Nobody has tried to modify the stock FX4 skid plate with one of these yet? Still looking to get a front receiver on my truck, without sacrificing too much approach angle or losing the stock skid plate if possible.
