I would like to install a front mounted hitch receiver, so that I can mount a bike rack in front when I'm towing a trailer. The ones that I have seen list as being installable on a Titan, but I have not seen one that lists the Armada. Does anyone know if a front receiver for a 2004 Titan will work on a 2004 Armada?

Thanks

I'd imagine it would fit fine. But am not sure. But from a quick search, it appears that one thing to consider is that the fron mounts seem to be mounted low. This means you lose some entry angle . Especially with something in the receiver as it will protrude forward even further.

Another option may be to have a shop that does custom hitches weld one on. Perhaps behind the lower opening in the grill. The downside there of course would be that it would raise the level of anything you put in the receiver. With a bike rack like you plan on using, it could obstruct your view.
