I have a small RV trailer that I haul and would also like to bring my Honda CRF250 motorcycle with me. And my truck bed is full of miscellaneous camping gear.

Since the frame and bumper of the RV is not really designed to carry more weight than just the spare tire, I'm considering installing a front mount receiver hitch on the truck and using a motorcycle carrier.

Has anyone installed one of these on their PowerBoost truck? I already have the active air dam removed with a full RCI skid plate kit installed. I assume I'll need to trim or modify the front skid plate a bit to accommodate the hitch.

Should I have any worries about air flow to the radiator and the intercoolers with the bike mounted up front?

Also, with motorcycle mounted up front, it will be blocking the forward camera and sensor... so I guess adaptive cruise control won't work right?
