Due to the way the 2020 Toyota Tacoma is designed, any front mounted hitch would require some kind of alteration to the front air dam. Out of the options though, I believe the least intrusive front hitch is the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31075.

I attached the installation instruction below. You will still need to remove your tow loop and your lower air dam at first, but with this hitch, you can put back the air dam after some trimming. It's not that hard of an install and Curt rates it as "moderate" in difficulty. At least with this hitch, you can still have the air dam if you want the slight mileage benefits it gives.
