Front Receiver to carry motorcycle
I have a 3/4 ton Dodge diesel pulling a 29 foot fifth wheel. What a fantastic truck - I would love to bring my small motorcycle (265 pounds wet and 40 pound hitch) Given that I am concerned with the strength of the 5th wheel for carrying the bike on the rear, I have wondered if it would be ok to use a front hitch on the Dodge?? I would really appreciate any thoughts. Thanks Dan, newbie to the group and enjoying all the information in this forum

Motorcycle on front hitch
I don't see how the motorcycle would be a problem. I have a 2006 Megacab with a Buckstop front bumper on it with a Warn 16.5k winch. I am very sure that the combined weigh of my bumper and winch are quite a bit heavier than what you are talking about doing. May sure the hitch is well constructed and properly secured.

I have considered this too, but it would have to be a light motorcycle like yours. I am at 4200 lbs on the front, and only have a FAWR of 4500 or so. Also I'm running over my GVRW from Dodge already with my 5th wheel.
