This design was implemented so as to accommodate the mounting of trailer tow-balls.

The far side mounting enables the trailer and all that being towed to be further away from the opposite side of the road.

People have to utilize extreme caution whenever using the bumper of a pickup truck for towing rather than using a frame mounted hitch, in view of the fact that the bumper does not provide as much strength. Bumper towing is normally reserved for towing lighter types of loads.

There are lots of pickup trucks without frame mounted receiver hitches. These normally utilize the back bumper, particularly in instances when it is not a full size pickup.
