  • Aero Bar Style Roof Rack for 2011 Toyota Tacoma
  • If you have a naked roof on your 2011 Toyota Tacoma the Rhino Rack 2500 Series Roof Rack is a nice option. The locks included with the roof rack system are for the covers on the legs of the roof rack. Once the roof rack has been fit to the roof of your Tacoma you place the locking cover in place so the roof rack cannot be removed from the vehicle. To order this roof rack you will need part # RRVA137B-2, part # RRRLKVA, and part # DK046. I have included a link to an in-depth product review...

  • Is The Furrion RV Wall Oven Powered By 12VDC Or 120VAC?
  • I went ahead and checked with Furrion, and the Furrion RV Wall Oven with LED Knobs - Electric - Stainless Steel # FR74PR is in fact powered off of 120VAC. There is a 12DC cavity light, which I believe is where the confusion may have come from initially. I have also included the wiring diagram for you to check out as well if you're interested.

  • Does The LED Boat Spreader Light # TN58RR Use a Flood Or Spot Beam?
  • In the video for the LED Boat Spreader Light # TN58RR which I have linked below the back wall is only a few feet from the back wall. This light uses a flood style beam to project light out over a large area. To compare I have linked our review video of the SteelHead LED Work Light # TN66RR below which uses a spot type beam. You can see in the video this one has a much more target beam.

  • Does the 2005 Toyota Tundra SR5 Have a Smart Alternator
  • Variable voltage alternators, also known as smart alternators, did not start showing up in vehicles until 2010. Since you have a 2005 Toyota Tundra SR5 it is safe to say that you do not have a variable voltage alternator. This means you will not need to use the blue bypass wire when connecting the Redarc In-Vehicle BCDC Battery Charger - Dual Input - DC to DC - 12V/24V - 25 Amp # 331-BCDC1225D.

  • Where is the Tow Hook Attachment Point on the Passenger's Side of My 2017 RAV4?
  • I have a solution for you. Even though there is not a tow hook attachment location on the passenger's side, one solution is to weld the Safety Chain U-Loop for Trailer Hitch - Weld-On # 362ChainLoopU onto the same frame location on the passenger's side of the vehicle as the hook your driver's side. Also, for a solution that doesn't require welding, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13149 has an eye to hook up straps/hooks as well.

  • Will an Extra Power Source Be Needed on Horse Trailer to Add Camera, 12V Fans, and LED Lights
  • To ensure that you will be fine after adding the camera and the 12V fans, you will want to verify the amperage draw on the fuse protecting your vehicle's 12V power wire in the towing package. Then you will want to determine the amp draw of the 12V fans and the camera to make sure that they will not exceed the fuse's amp draw. Typically vehicle's have a 40 amp fuse protecting their trailer wiring 12 V power wire. I think you should be fine adding the camera and the fans, but you can...

  • Can Trailer Be Towed With 2016 Toyota Sienna AWD
  • In my research I found the owner's manual does not recommend towing with your 2016 Sienna if it does not have a towing package. If you have the towing package the trailer hitch I recommend for you is the Draw-Tite # 76112. This is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2 inch receiver opening. Since you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or...

  • Is Yakima Y04091 Big Catch Kayak Carrier Lockable?
  • The Yakima # Y04091 BigCatch isn't lockable, for a similar locking kayak carrier, I'd recommend the # Y04083-04082 Kayak Carrier. If the 80 lb capacity will accommodate your kayak, this would be a good choice for easy loading and unloading. If the 80 lb capacity isn't sufficient, your best bet would be to go with the BigCatch and simply remove the carrier when you're leaving the vehicle unattended.

  • Is Curt Trailer Hitch C99FR For Toyota Highlander Compatible With Weight Distribution
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C99FR on your Toyota Highlander is not compatible with weight distribution, but you can still add sway control. What you can do is add friction sway control, and you'll also need a bracket: - Curt Friction Sway Control for Weight Distribution Systems # 17200 - Reese Sway-Control Bracket for 2" Ball Mounts # RP26003 The # 17200 says "for weight distribution systems" but can also be used without them. It will attach to your trailer frame on one side, and...

  • Can 2013 Camry LE 6-Speed Auto Transmission Be Flat Towed
  • According to Remco Towing, one of our key resources for flat towing information, the Toyota Camry from model years 2000 - 2012 can be flat towed but a lube pump kit LP-BK01-010 is recommended for the U241E transmission. The 2013 model year is not listed so the best thing to do is check your owner's manual under the heading "recreational towing" or "flat towing" to see what the folks at Toyota have to say. Naturally it is best to follow any guidelines from the vehicle manufacturer about...

  • When using the Tekonsha Plug-In Wiring Adapter for Electric Brake Controllers, # 3040-P, the harness has two grounds.

  • Tuson Electronic Sway Control Experiencing Tail Wag At Speeds Over 65 MPH On 2015 Toyota Tundra
  • I have heard of similar issues and the culprit is often that the Trailer Sway Control System on your 2015 Toyota Tundra is fighting the Tuson Asymmetric Sway Control # 335TSC-1000 that you have on your Safari Condo Alto 2114. This is not normal and your unnerving feeling is completely justified. The Tuson system is attempting to send power to each side of your trailer individually and the Tundra is wanting to send power to both sides to attempt to correct the sway. You will have to turn...

  • Is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C99FR The Same as Curt Receiver 13453?
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C99FR is our part number for this receiver. The 13453 that you see in the instructions is Curt's part number. We have to use different part numbers as we have multiple manufacturer's parts and a lot of the time they use the same part numbers.

  • Importance Of Trailer Sway Control And The Difference Between Vehicle Sway Bars
  • Absolutely, the Tuson Asymmetric Sway Control # 335TSC-1000 is going to help keep your trailer tracking straight behind your 2019 Toyota Tacoma. The sway bars on your Tacoma work to prevent excessive body roll and stabilize the vehicle while you are driving. Sway control on a trailer is different as the trailer can want to sway from left to right pivoting on the hitch ball, which can be very frightening. If you have never experienced it I hope you never do, I have linked a video below...

  • Is There a Torque Spec For Yakima Replacement 2" Anti-Rattle Hitch Bolt Assembly
  • I checked with Yakima and there is not a specific torque spec for the Replacement 2" Anti-Rattle Hitch Bolt Assembly for Yakima Bike Racks and DryDock Load Assist # Y8780022. So you'll just want to torque it until it is tight, and you can use either a wrench or a 3/4" socket.
