All my Rivs have been happier with rear loads, and have handled rear loads very well. #3, the green Curt '03 now has a small front rack to support a medium front bag and I've had almost 10 lb total on the front, but that's about the limit before the handling gets unpleasant. OTOH, I've carried almost 40 lb in the rear with no more than a bit of tail wagging.
