Want to add a class III hitch on front of truck so that I can use it occasionally for a cargo carrier. Would get a platform style carrier with 3" or 4" sides, and not a fully enclosed box. Probably the largest thing I would put on the platform is a 4000 watt, 200 lb generator that is 30" wide and 24" tall. I'm worried about air flow to the lower opening up front. Don't think it's going to block the grill or the radiator opening, but it looks like there are some cooling fins just above/below the license plate that may be partially blocked. Generator will be probably at least a foot in front of the opening and not right up against it so it's not completely blocked, but it will be a little. Anybody have any experience with this or know whether I am likely to have a problem? Two local dealers were of little help.

Thanks in advance for any advice...
Mike

 

you will be fine with that setup

 

If you tow an rv, put the hitch on the back bumper of the rv.
