Old GI,
I have a four wheel mobility cart. I carry it on the front of my truck. I have an electric powered lift. It is mounted in a regular 2 inch receiver. I got the hitch from U Haul.

It was originally mounted on my Ford PSD 250. When we traded for a 450 I took it off the 250 and put it on the 450.

When we first started traveling we made a ramp out of 3/4 inch plywood and rolled the cart up into the trailer. This got old very quickly and then we found the electric lift.

I had a water proof cover made to put over the cart when traveling in wet weather. The load on the front of the truck can be intimidating. When we first started traveling with it there I was really nervous! It can be scary to see the thing bounce around. But we've had it on the front for about 4 years and so far no major problems. I think I have a picture of the setup on my Picasa photo page. Just click on my picture link and check it out. I'll double check to make sure it is there.

Good luck.
