One possibility is to mount a hitch on the front of your tow vehicle. This can be done by any hitch installer. Check out etrailer.com for some details. Although it is a little strange looking when you have the basket in place, it works quite well. Of course you must consider the effect it may have on airflow to the vehicle's radiator. This is especially important if your tow vehicle is a bit undersize and is already struggling a bit. And doubly important if you plan to tow in mountainous terrain, where the engine is working hard, and slower speeds mean less cooling air flow.

On the other hand, one advantage of a front hitch is that you can use it to maneuver your TM into a tight spot. This is a lot easier than backing the TM into place using the normal rear-mounted hitch.
