So on the way home today there was a late model SUV stopped in the middle of the road barely leaving enough room to get around. There was an older gentleman that looked like was just swiping at the windshield. I thought WTF? Then as I passed, I could see that he obviously didn't clear his roof, and the snow on top must of slid forward when he stopped. His windshield was completely covered! And he obviously didn't have anything to clear it with. Poor planning dude!
His mistake was not driving fast enough to have it blow off the top. :like:

Me too but I have the front snow sport mount which makes everything easier!!
I have thought many times about getting the front mount hitch, but then I figured I only use once, maybe twice a year. Some years not at all.

Right, but I have it for moving my trailer which is much easier for parking exactly where I need it.
Also just bought a winch which can be mounted front or rear, also just bought a vise from harbor freight which slides into the hitch mounts.
See how easy that was to justify the purchase, and although I may not use it much I have it if I need it. No wonder I have tons of gear with this logic!!!!!

? The only way I could back up a trailer is with a front hitch. Hell , I have trouble backing up my truck …

Sounds like it fits your needs. I don't have to be precise when parking my trailer. No need for a winch or vise.

Got our 1st snow on 01-09-25. Probably couldn't even get the tires to spin on that dusting... ?‍♂ :tumbleweed:

I can get the tires to spin on dry pavement.
