I'm looking for a strong receiver (~ 9,500 lb rating) for the front of my X so that I can do the multi-mount winch thing.

Some of you suggested I try the "Hidden Hitch". I did some searching on this and learned that it creates an approach-angle problem. No surprise there, since it hangs down from the front of the frame.

I haven't seen one of these hitches in person but I was wondering if anyone has tried mounting it upside down on the frame. That way, it would be above the frame and seems like it would only interfere with the license plate. I can deal with that. From checking out the geometry in the installation instructions, it looks like it might work.

Hidden Hitch

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks!

John
