My credo
I didn't ask for your life story, just answer the question!
My neighbor has a 2020 Ranger that he’s looking to put a front mount hitch on, so he can mount a “homeowner” snow plow. He’s not much of a computer guy... in fact, I’m 95% sure he doesn’t even own a computer. So he asked me.
I know I could just google it and find one, but I figured I see if anyone here has one and get their opinion on it.
So does anyone have one?
 
I welded a receiver to the bottom of my bumper and reinforced the bumper and mounts. I guess my bumper wouldn't look great on a 2020, though I would be willing to sell it to get some money towards a winch bumper.

I could of sworn I seen a post here where someone had a front receiver on a 2019+ truck but I can't find it... or I was just drunk and looking at a sandwich I liked.

There was a fella that had a new white ranger... hooked up for surf fishing parked on the beach. Pretty sure he had a receiver up front. I searched but came up empty. Maybe that will jog your memory as to where it was?

This one? From the "What a difference 22 years makes" thread.

Usually surf fishing guys get front mount hitches to put cooler racks on like uncle gump said. I think that's what I remember seeing but again, can't find it...

They look like this...

Yeah, I vaguely remember that. This is all I could find.

It’s also entirely possible the memory is made up.

I couldn’t find anything on etrailer or curts website.
 
You people are no help... I’m just going to google it like it should have done it the first place.

You get what you pay for!
 
Glad I could be of service.

Come again ya hear!
 
I've put a front receiver on my 86 b2, my 91 Ranger, and my 2006 Ram 1500. The b2 I adapted a rear receiver to bolt on. The other two I welded c-channel or square stock near the front bumper between the frame rails and ran receiver tube from just in front of the front bumper to the factory crossmember, also welded in. Seldom sees use but I do plow with a smaller homeowner style plow and no problems as yet.
