They have one that fits the Titan/Armada. I don't remember the model to order off hand, but they can tell you over the phone. I plan to get one soon.

I e-mailed the Hitch Corner out of Denver and asked if a front hitch was available for the Armada as they sell one for the Titan. They said the facia and frame of the Armada is different and therefore what fits the Titan will not fit the Armada. I am considering a new front bumper from Kennesaw Mountain Accessories outside Atlanta, ( http://www.kenmtnac.com/Titan.html). They call the bumper by the name "Wincher" and offer a menu of options (lights, hooks, hitches and bars) for the Armada, starting at the $560 price point for a basic steel bumper with a front hitch. My only question was that it appears that the design of the bumper obstructs lower air flow into the radiator. I was told by the representative that they have made this item for 5 years and have studied the issue, and it does not cause any air flow issues. Finally, they also told me that they could also build a rear bumper, however it would entail the vehicle being there for a week or so while they design the bumper. Perhaps they will start mass producing the rear as well. The next time I travel through Atlanta, I will be purchasing at least the new front bumper.

Good to know peglaws...the guy at that website told me it would fit, but he also gave me the measurements for the hitch so I will have to check it.

Thanks for the replies, I've thought about getting the front bumper. The point of the front tow hitch was pretty much only to mount a winch. If I can't find the hitch, then I will probly just end up going with the bumper.
