Slip-On Hitch Makes Trailer Storage Easier
“I made this ball hitch to fit onto the front tow hooks on my Ford F-150 pickup. The front hitch gives me a clear view where I want to go and makes the job of backing trailers into tight places a lot easier,” says Donald Scholz, Grand Island, Neb.  
  The hitch is made out of 3-in. channel iron and 1/4-in. thick steel plate welded to a length of heavy bar fitted with a ball hitch. It’s designed to simply slip over the tow hook. A steel pin goes up from underneath through the tow hook and is held on by a spring-loaded clip.
  “I don’t know how much weight my pickup’s tow hooks will handle, so I haven’t hooked heavy loads to the front hitch. But it really makes backing trailers into tight places much easier,” says Scholz.
