Default TRAILER HITCHES

I have a gate at the end of driveway that I need closed to keep the dog
and kids in the yard.
Does anyone have an idea how I can put a tow hitch on the front of my
truck ?
I would like to push my trailers into my driveway instead of backing
up.
I HAVE REPLACED THE GATES EVERY YEAR NOW.

1997 dodge Ram2500 Pick Up.

They're not uncommon. Anyone who can put a hitch on the back for you should
be able to put one up front as well.

I used to have a front bumper hitch on an older truck because it had a
steel bumper....the ones now are plastic...thanks

Reese makes receiver mount hitches just for the front of vehicles.

They don't list a front mounted hitch for my 2006 Ford Ranger pickup.
Too bad... that might be the answer for backing my sailboat down a long
narrow 10 foot wide driveway.

Correction...on another post I see Reese does have one that fits up to a
2005 Ranger. Can't be much different from my 2006.

if you have a garden tractor and you're driveway is level then put a ball on
the tractor. Works great in small spaces.
