Yes, you have my permission to use it as the background on your desktop.

Front hitch? Nice!
That way I can throw the bicycles on the front while towing. Works
well. It's a Curt hitch which I
installed in the garage. No problems whatsoever.

If it can handle the weight it's also nice for moving trailers around in
tight spaces.

Tongue weight - 500 lbs, pull weight - 5000 lbs.

I am going to install one on the front of my truck. Where I store my boat,
the slot where I have to turn the boat to back in has been rented to a long
trailer, and take lots of shifting back and forth to get it in it's
shelter.

At one point during the installation, I though the thing was too big to fit between the frame
members. It turned out I had cocked it to one side just a bit. It fit with maybe a half millimeter
of free play on each side.
