Expert Answers about Toyota Pickup


  • Weight Distribution Recommendatino for Towing 3,500 lb Trailer
  • If the trailer you plan on towing weighs more than half of the weight of the tow vehicle we recommend the use of weight distribution. Or if there is considerable sag in the vehicle rear suspension. The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup. You should note that the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your vehicle should be considered tongue weight as well. I attached an FAQ on determining tongue weight for you...

  • Tire Chain Recommendation for a 235/75R15 Size Tire
  • The cables part # PW2016C that you referenced have been confirmed as a fit for the tire size 235/75R15 that you referenced, but if you are looking for the best option in that price range I have a better solution for you. The Titan Chains part # TC2319 are a much better option as they will provide much better traction, will be easier to install, and will last longer. You will need to check the owners manual of your vehicle to determine if there are any tire chain restrictions.

  • Truck Bed Bike Rack Recommendation for a 1986 Toyota Pickup
  • I may have an option that will work for you, but I do not believe the Topline Truck Bed Bike Rack will work with your truck. It was designed for truck bed walls with an inside lip. Instead, I recommend looking at a bike rack like the Thule Insta-Gater Pro, # TH93VR. This is a wheel mount bike rack that also does not require a lip. I have attached video reviews for each of these bike racks for you to check out.

  • Recommended 4-Way Flat Wiring for a 1995 Toyota Pickup
  • Yes, a tail light converter would be required to wire your 1995 Toyota pickup for towing. We offer custom-fit T-connector # 118379, which would plug right into your factory connectors behind the vehicle tail lights. I would recommend that you double check the trailer plug, however, as it is common that boat trailers use a 5-Way plug, due to being equipped with hydraulic brakes. If this is the case, you would also need a 4 to 5-Way adapter for your pickup, like part # 20036. The adapter...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 1981 Toyota Pick Up 4x4 and LED Trailer Lights
  • For your 1981 Toyota Pickup you will need to first determine whether or not you have combined or separate taillight circuits. Combined taillights are ones that the blinkers and brake lights are on the same circuit. Separate means the taillights circuits are on different bulbs. Which either way you would want the Curt Circuit Protected wiring harness part # C59496. This harness can work on either taillight style, the only difference will be how you install the harness on your vehicle. The...

  • Parts Needed to Upgrade to a Larger Trailer Tire
  • To install a larger 13 inch tire and wheel combo like the Kenda Karrier # AM31952, you will need to get more room for the wheels. With your current tire having a diameter of 21.9 inches and a width of 5.6 inches, these would be quite a bit larger having a diameter of 24.1 inches and a width of 7 inches. You want to keep the side wall of the tire and the wall of the fender somewhere around an inch or inch and a half, but this is not as important as the height. You want to have a minimum...

  • Need Snow Chains for 1988 Toyota Pickup to Climb the Wet Mountains of Colorado
  • Beautiful picture! Although beautiful to look at, I can only imagine how difficult it can make driving.

These heavy-duty steel chains were designed for the most severe conditions and provide exceptional traction. The asymmetrical pattern of the tire chains deliver maximum forward, lateral and stopping traction, as well as a smooth ride. Please...

  • Ladder Rack Recommendations for a 1992 Toyota Pickup
  • The only TracRac ladder rack listed for the bed of a 1992 Toyota truck is # TH14750. A TracOne model is not available for this vehicle. But you can use a ladder rack from Yakima, # Y01136-Y00409 rated for 300 pounds. The width of the tops of the bed sides on the truck are not an issue. Another, similar rack that you can use is # CG-902. It is rated for 500 pounds.

  • Ladder Rack and Canoe Carrier Recommendation for 1991 Toyota Truck
  • Most truck bed ladder racks are designed to fit specific vehicles. For your 1991 Toyota Truck I recommend the Yakima Outdoorsman 300 Ladder Rack with 58 Inch Crossbars # Y01136-Y00409.

The Yakima KeelOver Rooftop Canoe Carrier with Tie-Downs # Y04069 will work great with the Outdoorsman ladder rack. The KeelOver includes...

A circuit tester is also included to assist with locating the correct...
