Tow ball on the front of a Dmax ute
(Preview)
My skill at reversing a van are not the best, despite practice. A suggested solution is to mount a tow ball/DO35 on the front of my Dmax. Im searching now for examples of such an arrangement. Anyone here know of when, where, or how its been done?

(Preview)
