Front receiver for a 2012 Chevy Colorado

[niccolo81]

I got a 2012 Chevrolet Colorado and im just wondering if anyone here has a front receiver installed on theirs. Curious which brand and model you went with and how tricky the install was. If you've got one, I'd really appreciate it if you could share some pics, especially showing the mounting points and any mods you had to make.

For me, I put Draw-Tite front receiver a while back and if I recall correctly, it fit without any cutting. I just had to unbolt the tow hooks and, simply put, it bolted right up in their place.

Awesome, sounds like a pretty straightforward install. Did you notice any change in ground clearance or approach angle after adding it?? Im planning to use mine for a winch mount and maybe a bike rack, so i'm curious how sturdy it's been for you over time.
