• Trailer Hitch Clearance for 2018 Toyota RAV4

• Recommended Snow Tire Chains For My 2021 Toyota Highlander
• I did some research and I checked the owner's manual of your 2021 Toyota Highlander. You will need to use a Class S compatible snow tire chain, they are the only snow tire chains that meet your owner's manual tolerances. They are designed for tight wheel well clearances. The Titan chains, part # TC2829, and , part # TC2829CAM, you are inquiring about are not Class S compatible snow tire chains. If you use them, you do so at your own risk If you have the 235/55-20 tire on your vehicle,...

• What is the Difference Between Adco Travel Trailer Storage Covers 290-52239 and 290-52238
• Length is the difference between Adco covers # 290-52238 and # 290-52239. The shorter one, # 290-52238, fits travel trailers up to 15 feet long. The longer one # 290-52239 fits trailers that are 15 feet, 1 inch long to 18 feet long. If your trailer is within the length requirements above then you can use the corresponding cover. If it is a different length let me know and I can make other recommendations.

• Comparing Thule Rapid Crossroad Feet and Yakima TimberLine Towers for a 2015 Toyota RAV4
• During the initial installation the Thule Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401 are going to be quicker/easier to install than the Yakima TimberLine Towers # Y33TR but that's simply because Yakima has some extra initial adjustments in the feet to help ensure that the crossbars are sitting level where the Thule feet don't have that feature. After you get everything set with the Yakima feet though the installation for both the Thule and Yakima systems will be almost identical. I personally prefer...

• Comparing Air Lift Loadlifter 5000 and Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs on 2018 Toyota Tundra
• There are a number of differences between the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2445 and Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs # AL88299, starting with fit. While the Air Lift will fit all models of the 2018 Toyota Tundra, the Firestone is only a fit for Tundra's with the TRD package (Toyota Racing Development). The biggest difference, and why I recommend the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 # AL88299, are that these springs come with internal jounce springs while the Ride...

• Weight of Curt and Draw-Tite Hitches for a 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross
• The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C64DR weighs in at about 25 lbs while the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT28GR weighs in at about 26 lbs so they are basically identical for your 2022 Toyota Corolla Cross. The only difference between the two is that the Draw-Tite is rated as a Class III so the tongue weight is 300 lbs instead of 200 lbs like the Curt Class I hitch. I typically recommend going with the higher tongue weight but it looks like your Corolla Cross is only rated...

• Is the Ark Off-Road Coupler Better than The Lock N Roll Coupler?
• I like the compatibility of the Ark Articulating Off-Road Coupler item # AR44FR over the Lock N Roll Articulating Channel Tongue Trailer Coupler item # 336TS528. The Ark is compatible with any vehicle utilizing a standard 2" ball. The maximum capacity of the Ark 5,000 lbs is lower than the Lock N Roll 6,000 lbs but it still meets your weight capacity needs. Both require modification of your trailer for use. You will need the Buyers Products Black Receiver Tube item # 337RT25806B to mount...

• What Is The Difference Between The Curt & etrailer Trailer Hitch Receivers For a 2023 Toyota Sienna?
• The only difference between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C22UR and our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e56RR is the powder coat finish. We selected Curt to manufacturer our receivers as they are made in the USA and have a great reputation for quality receivers. The Curt will have a gloss black finish while our etrailer receiver has a matte black finish. Personally I prefer the matte black finish as it matches well with most factory trim giving it an OE appearance.

• Comparing CIPA and K-Source Clip-On Towing Mirrors for a 2012 Toyota Tundra
• Both the K-Source towing mirrors, # KS81300, and the CIPA towing mirrors, # CM11300, do fit if your 2012 Toyota Tundra has electric and/or heated stock side mirrors. They will not fit Limited or Platinum models though. I agree that the K-Source mirrors would look better but you would get a tighter fit with the CIPA mirrors. With any clip-on towing mirror there is going to be some vibration. It is just an unavoidable issue with this type of mirror design. Replacement mirrors, see link,...

• Comparing Under Tailgate Light Bars for a 2012 Toyota Tundra
• The only difference between a light strip and a light bar, like # RA960134, is that the strip is flexible and the bar is rigid. A bar would provide better protection to the lights so that is a benefit it has over a strip. A strip on the other hand being flexible allows it to be used with more applications. Since you do not like the strip type we do have several light bars you could use on your 2012 Toyota Tundra including # RA960134 (stop, tail, turn). There are additional options for...

• Differences Between Saris SuperClamp HD Bike Rack & Saris SuperClamp EX Bike Rack
• Good question, and there are just two differences between the Saris SuperClamp HD and EX, which is the size of the receiver(s) they fit and motorhome compatibility: - Compatible With Motorhome & Fits 2" Receiver Only: Saris SuperClamp HD Bike Rack # SAR44VR - Not Compatible w/ Motorhome & Fits 1-1/4" or 2: Receiver: Saris SuperClamp EX Bike Rack # SA4025F Otherwise, these are exactly the same bike rack; both have a 60 lb per-bike capacity, grasp your bikes by the tires so there is no...

• Recommended Front-Mount Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch for 2014 Toyota Tacoma
• Both the Curt Front Hitch # 31313 and the Draw-Tite Front Hitch # 65070 are confirmed to fit your 2014 Tacoma 4x4 but I definitely recommend the Draw-Tite for its higher 500-lb vertical load weight rating and because it allows re-installation of the skid shield which is not possible with the Curt. If you're intending to use a hitch-mount snow plow like the Detail K2 Avalanche # K2AVAL8219 or a hitch cargo carrier like # 63153 or any other potentially heavy item you might want to consider...

• Comparing Installation Of Curt Converter And Tekonsha T-One Converter On 2013 Toyota Highlander
• The 2013 Toyota Highlander wiring harness converter boxes have different locations because the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56217 is physically a bigger box than the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118449. The Curt converter box is larger and needs to be connected to a flat surface, so that is what is recommended by the manufacturer. The two units will have the same functions, they are just different...

• The etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver part # E98853 and the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76112 are both great options for your 2019 Toyota Sienna (All Models). They both have a hidden design, install in the same fashion, and are similar priced. In regards to ground and bumper clearance they are identical at 13" from the ground to the top inside edge of receiver tube and 4" from hitch pin hole to outer edge of the bumper. They also have the same weight capacity....

• Comparing etrailer e56RR and Curt C22UR Trailer Hitch Receivers For a 2021 Toyota Sienna
• The only difference between the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e56RR and Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C22UR is going to be the powder coating used. The etrailer receiver will have a matte black powder coat while the Curt will have a gloss black powder coat. Since etrailer's receivers are made by Curt the mounting points and material used is all the same and they are both made here in the USA. Personally I prefer our etrailer receiver as I find the matte black powder coating is more...

• Both the Rhino-Rack Vortex StealthBar Roof Rack - Black # JA7987 and Silver # JA7968 fit your 2016 Toyota Sienna. The Yakima SkyBox NX 16 cargo box, # Y95AV, will work with either roof rack, so you can choose whichever color you like better for your Sienna.

• Recommended Trailer Hitch For A 2021 Toyota Sienna XSE Hybrid With Hands Free Lift Gate
• For your 2021 Toyota Sienna XSE Hybrid, I recommend going with the American made Curt # C22UR. Your Sienna Hybrid is rated up to 3,500 pounds towing and 350 pounds of tongue weight capacity, at least that I could find, so the Draw-Tite # DT55MR with its higher weight capacities isn't really needed in this case. The Curt hitch, as with the Draw-Tite, will limit the use of the hands free lift gate sensor to either side of the receiver opening, but it will not negate its use. Just as a side...

• Which Hitch For 2013 Toyota Sienna Provides Most Ground Clearance and the Least Underpanel Trimming
• The Hidden Hitch Class III, part # 87586 and the Draw-Tite # 75696 are both made by the same parent company and are virtually identical, so they will install in the same manner. When installed, either of these hitches will have approximately 10 inches of ground clearance under the bottom of the receiver tube. The Curt Class III, part # C13105 will have about 9 inches of clearance under the receiver tube. I'll link you to the instructions and install videos for each of the hitches. As you...

• Differences Between Curt # 13323 and Draw-Tite # 75236 Class III Hitches for 2009 Toyota Tacoma
• The Curt # 13323 and the Draw-Tite # 75236 Class III hitches share the same weight capacity and installation procedure. The appearance and design of the two hitches are pretty similar. As far as quality goes, both brands are about equal. Given this, there's no reason why you couldn't go with the less expensive Curt model. If you were planning on towing with your Tacoma, you might also need the following: Trailer wiring harness, part # 118496 Ball mount, part # D-4 Hitch Pin and Clip,...
