Expert Answers about Toyota 4Runner


  • Compatible Roof Rack Feet for 2021 Toyota 4Runner TRD
  • The Thule Wingbar Evo Crossbars # TH711420 (Black) or # TH711400 (Silver) are good aerodynamically shaped crossbars designed to cut down on wind drag and noise. I'd like to mention though that the modern aero bars like these are larger than older designs. As you buy accessories in the future, try to get ones that clamp down to the T-tracks so you can maximize your bar space and won't have to worry about if the clamps fit around WingBars. The correct feet for these bars on your 2021 Toyota...

  • Recommended Brake Controller for 2007 Toyota 4Runner with Weight Distribution System Sway Control
  • For your 2007 Toyota 4Runner, the Prodigy P3 # 90195 is what I recommend for your brake controller. If you have the factory 7-way, then you will simply use wiring harness # 3040-P and you'll be ready to go. If you don't have the factory 7-way then you will need to hardwire the controller using # 5506 if you have a 7-way or # ETBC7 if you need to add a 7-way. I've attached a couple videos to assist.

  • Parts Needed To Install Redarc Tow Pro Elite In 2018 Toyota 4Runner
  • I would be happy to recommend a mounting panel and wiring harness to get the Redarc Tow Pro Elite # RED44FR installed in your 2018 Toyota 4Runner. Starting with the wiring harness you will need the Plug-and-Play Wiring Harness # RED49FR which is confirmed to fit the factory trailer brake controller port on your 2018 4Runner. This port is above the emergency brake pedal. Moving on to the mounting panel, we have had customers mention that the Mounting Panel for Redarc Tow-Pro Trailer Brake...

  • Curt Trailer Hitch Availability for a 1995 Toyota 4Runner
  • I am glad to hear that our website has been helpful for you. I have some good news, we do carry the Curt Class III Trailer Hitch, # C13094, and it is confirmed to fit your 1995 Toyota 4Runner as long as it has 31.5 inch or smaller tires. The Curt hitch does not require any drilling like the Draw-Tite Class III Hitch, # 75145, because it does not mount to the underside of the frame. Curt has determined that the mounting holes on the side of the frame are sufficient to support this hitch...

  • 2 Inch Ball Mount Recommendation for a 2011 Toyota 4Runner Towing a 19 ft Boat Trailer
  • When measuring for the correct drop or rise in a ball mount, you will actually want to measure from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler. Most trailer couplers are only about 2 inches tall at the ball socket, so the measurement you have is likely around 17-3/4 inches. For this, you will want a ball mount with a 2 inch drop like the Brophy Ball Mount, # BM20. I have attached a video review of a similar ball mount on a 2012 Toyota 4Runner and a help article that explains how...

  • Will the K Source Universal Clip On Towing Mirror Fit a 2004 Toyota 4Runner Sport
  • The K Source universal towing mirror, # KS3891, is designed to clip onto a factory mirror that has a gap or lip between the glass and the mirror housing itself. If the mirrors on your truck fit this description then there is a good chance it will fit. Since this is a universal fit item there are no specific vehicle fit lists for it. I have linked a video review of the mirror for you. I looked up some pictures of the mirrors on your 2004 Toyota 4Runner and it would appear as if this mirror...

  • Recommended Weigh Distribution for a 2015 Toyota 4Runner Towing a 2018 Winnebago Micro Minnie
  • I appreciate all the information you have given. That makes things much easier to make a recommendation for you. The dry weights will increase as you add cargo to your trailer. So as you add the camping supplies, your clothes, etc, the weight of the trailer and the trailer tongue weight will increase. Using a weight distribution system will help as you are able to disperse the weight for a more stable ride. When looking for the best weight distribution system for your trailer and...

  • Weight Distribution Towing Rockwood 2104S with a 2006 Toyota 4Runner
  • Weight distribution systems are rated with a tongue weight range that you want your setup to land in the middle of. Because your Rockwood RV loaded weight will be between 6,000 and 7,000 pounds it's likely the tongue weight will be between 600 and 1050 pounds. A trailer's tounge weight should be 10 to 15 percent of its total weight. You will need to choose a system based on the loaded tongue weight. . In addition to the trailer's tongue weight you need to factor in the amount of weight...

  • Will WeatherTech BumpStepXL Hitch-Mounted Bumper Protector Interfere with Reverse Sensors or Camera
  • The WeatherTech BumpStepXL Hitch-Mounted Bumper Protector and Step for 2" Hitch part # WT81BS1XL should not interfere with the backup camera or reverse sensors on a vehicle. We aren't able to test this for every vehicle obviously but in most cases, it does not stick out far enough to affect either the backup camera or reverse sensors. If you need helping reaching items on the roof of the vehicle, this is the perfect step for you that will make this task much easier. Please note, the step...

  • Cargo Box for 2023 Toyota 4Runner with OEM Crossbars that Would Cover Least of Moonroof
  • The OEM crossbars of your 2023 Toyota 4Runner sit too close to the top of the vehicle roof for any of our cargo boxes to fit so what you'd need to use a cargo box is a set of aftermarket crossbars like the Thule Wingbar Evo roof rack part numbers # TH711420 and # TH710401 and you'd be able to use a box like the Thule Force XT Sport Rooftop Cargo Box # TH6356B that you referenced. This is a smaller box that would cover the least amount of your moon roof.

  • Adding a 7-Way Trailer Connector to a 2008 Toyota 4Runner
  • If your 2008 Toyota 4Runner did not come with a factory installed 7-Way at the back, you will have to hardwire one in. The first step though is to install a 4-Way flat trailer connector using # 119178KIT. I have linked the instructions for you. Then you can install a 7-Way and make it fully functional using # ETBC7. This comes with the 7-Way and all the wiring and accessories to install it. I have included some links that explain the ETBC7 installation.

  • Recommended Trailer Brake Controller and Wiring Needed for 2000 Toyota 4Runner
  • For your 2000 Toyota 4Runner, I recommend the Tekonsha Voyager Trailer Brake Controller - 1 to 4 Axles - Proportional # 39510 with the Brake Control Plug-In Harness # 20127. This is the best controller under the price point you are seeking. Then for your wiring, if you already have a 7-way connector you can use the kit # 5506. If you have a 4-way then you will use the # ETBC7 kit which comes with the 7-way adapter and wiring. If you don't have a 4-way, then you will need that first and...

  • How Much Does the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System Weigh
  • The overall weight of the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control part # BXW1000 is around 88 lbs. in the box. When using the system about 20 lbs. of that will be hanging on the trailer with the rotating lift brackets and another 15 will be in the arms you place in during setup. So all told you will be lifting about 53 lbs. into the receiver hitch when you use it. I've linked a video for you to check out on the system and it's setup to check out.

  • Recommended Anti Rattle Device for a 2 Inch Hitch
  • The Softride # SR25219 will be a good option for getting rid of the movement you are getting in your ball mount while towing. One of the big pluses with the # SR25219 is that it will lock in place to keep anyone from walking away with it. That being said, it does have one drawback. This style of anti rattle device has to be used in a ball mount that has a hollow shank. If your shank is solid, however, I do have another option available. The Roadmaster Quiet Hitch # RM-061 will work on...

  • Does the Installation of Derale 15902 on 2015 Toyota 4Runner Require the Use of the Sandwich Adapter
  • When installing the Derale # D15902, the Universal thermostatic sandwich adapter is used to add your oil lines to the cooler. It's not necessary to install the adapter during installation if you don't want to have your oil cooled as well. Using this cooler without the adapter will only bring the temperature of your coolant down and not the engine oil with this type of installation. You could look to see if there is an oil filter available that would allow you to use this feature or you...

  • Availability of Trailer Winch that Can Have Handle Install on Both Sides
  • The winch you mentioned part # 348776 can't have the handle mounted on both sides of it nor can it mount 180 degrees. For a winch that you can move the handle to the left side you can use # FW16000101. This winch is specifically designed to allow the handle to be installed on either side easily so it would work the best for you.

  • Adding Brakes to a 3,500 lb Trailer Axle with 6 Lug Wheels
  • We have hub/drums for a 3,500 lb axle with a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern with the # AKHD-655-35-EZ-K which you'd then just need the brake assemblies # AKEBRK-35R-SA and # AKEBRK-35L-SA. Then to upgrade your 4-way to a 7-way all you'd need is the part # e99011 and you'd have that taken care of as well.
