Expert Answers about Toyota


  • How to Determine Correct Bearings and Seals for Pop-Up Camper
  • I can help you determine how to find the correct bearings and seals you need for your 1988 Coleman Columbia pop-up camper although there is no database which has all of the individual parts for each year, make and model of trailer. So, what you need to do is take apart your hub assembly and look at the bearings themselves; wipe away the grease and you should be able to see the part number stamped directly on them. If you are unable to find them, you need to use a digital caliper and measure...

  • Weight of Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch 75461 For 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser
  • I checked with the manufacturer, and the weight is 34 lbs for the Draw-Tite hitch that fits your 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser: - Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75461 I have added a link below to a video showing the install of this hitch on an '11 FJ Cruiser, and also wanted to mention that if you need a trailer wiring harness for your vehicle the correct fit is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118405.

  • Installation Requirements For etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver On a 2018 Toyota Sienna
  • The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98853 is a bolt on receiver with only minor trimming required on the underbody panel of your 2018 Toyota Sienna. This should be easily installed at any vehicle service shop in your area. I would search for a shop nearby that has good reviews with a installation guarantee. A local Toyota dealership would most likely be your best place to have the installation completed. I have linked an installation video below of the hitch installation if you decide...

  • Does a 2010 Toyota Prius Come With an OEM Hitch
  • Although OEM hitches can be found on certain trucks and SUV's, they wouldn't be found on a Prius. You would need to install an aftermarket hitch, like the Draw-Tite Class I hitch, part # 24847. The hitch would provide a great attachment point for a hitch mounted accessory like a bike rack or a cargo carrier. If you're considering towing with your Prius, I'd recommend you reconsider as Toyota doesn't recommend towing with that vehicle.

  • Replacing SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs SSR-610-40 on 2005 Toyota Tundra
  • I'm certainly sorry to hear about one of the SumoSprings falling off off your 2005 Toyota Tundra; however, they are only sold in pairs so you would need to replace the set with the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs # SSR-610-40. I do recommend using Loctite on the bolts as well, the Loctite Threadlocker 262 - High Strength # LT37420.

  • Will The ARC 7440/7443 LED Bulbs Get Brighter When Brakes Are Engaged?
  • I spoke to ARC about their 7440/7443 LED Bulbs # ARC95FR, and it will get brighter when the brake signal is run to it. These really are used as brake lights in vehicles and or trailers, so they do have this function built in. Static, or running lights, will run at 300 lumen, but when the brake signal hits it, it will light up to 600 lumen.

  • Can Crossbars be Put Further Apart For Thule Hullavator
  • Thank you for your purchase from etrailer of the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Roof Rack and Lift Assist # TH898. You will not want to mount your crossbars at a distance apart from what the instructions say because the mounting of the crossbars are based on where the strongest points of the roof are located.

  • Weight of Rhino-Rack Heavy-Duty Bar Roof Rack for Camper Shells & Are Keys Included
  • Good questions, and the weight overall is 20 lbs for the rack system you asked about from Rhino-Rack, which is the following part: - Heavy-Duty Bar Roof Rack for Camper Shells # Y01-140B Additionally, yes, the system does include keys so it locks to your vehicle, helping protect your investment. This is a really nice option for a rack system as the bars are robust with a 220 lb weight capacity, and are 65 inches long which gives you a ton of room on the bars to carry your gear.

  • 5th Wheel Towing with 2018 Toyota Tundra Double Cab
  • From the online specs available to me the 2018 Toyota Tundra Double Cab has a max towing capacity of 6,400 to 10,200 lbs. We always recommend that you consult your vehicle specific owners manual for towing specs as each models trim specs, engine option and gearing all influence the vehicle capability. You do not state what bed length you have but if you have the 6-1/2' bed you will most likely need a slider type hitch. I suggest the B&W Patriot 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch w/ Slider, # BWRVK3270...

  • Recommendation And Installation Of Trailer Hitch For 2011 Toyota Highlander
  • The Curt Hitch that is designed to fit your Highlander is part # 13534. This is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2 inch receiver opening. Hitches can at times suffer a little when being shipped but typically result in being a minor problem. Most of the problems are the mounting brackets on the hitch do not line up with the holes on the vehicle frame. Our installers use a 'cheater bar' that looks like a long tapered screwdriver with no blade on the end. They place the bar in one hole to...

  • Parts Needed to Tow With 2006 Toyota Matrix XR & Can Bikes be Brought
  • I'll just rip this band-aid off as fast as I can but there is just not a way to use a standard hitch-mounted bike rack and tow at the same time with your 2006 Toyota Matrix XR. The issue, like you said, is the 1-1/4 inch hitch not having an adapter; even if it did though, hitch adapters reduce hitch capacity by 50% so you'd be going over that as well. The only solution would be to add a roof rack and two roof-mounted bike racks, and that's awful expensive for one trip. If you want to do...

  • Are Light Truck Tires Okay to Use on Travel Trailer
  • Typically, you'll want to use trailer tires only on a travel trailer but the exception would be some of the larger sizes, like 15 or 16 inch. It's fairly common to use Light Truck tires for the larger sizes because they're more readily available than trailer tires in that size are. I'd recommend you find the ID tag on your travel trailer, which will list the recommended tire size. If they recommend 235/75-15LT, then your current size truck tire is just fine.

  • Display on Tekonsha P3 Remains Lit Once Vehicle is Shut Off
  • After 15-20 minutes of no movements the Tekonsha P3 like most brake controllers, will go into a sleep mode. While in the sleep mode, the controller will draw a minuscule amount of voltage that is nowhere near enough to run down the battery even after several weeks. The brake controllers are specifically designed not to have an on/off switch because the fear is that if the controller is turned off the user could forget to turn it back on and unintentionally end up towing with an inoperable...

  • Can Auxiliary Battery Be Charged With 7-Way Trailer Connector On 2015 Toyota Tundra
  • The amount of power you get from the 7-way plug on the back of your 2015 Tundra will give enough power to maintain a charge on the auxiliary battery but will not charge it. If you are wanting to charge an auxiliary battery without a 110 service you can use a charger like part # 331-BCDC1225D. This charger can use up to two 12V sources like an alternator or solar panel to charge an aux battery. If you prefer charging the battery with a 110 service I recommend the NOCO Genius Mini # NOC34FR.

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement For 2008 Toyota Tundra SR5
  • I would normally recommend using an air bag suspension enhancement for your truck but since you said you are planning on towing a fifth wheel trailer the air suspension kits we offer are not compatible with a fifth wheel hitch and I recommend going with a system like the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System, part # TTORTUN4. This system not only increases your stability, it helps reduce sag as you described. Because they are independent of each other, they help stabilize your truck...

  • Vehicle And Trailer Connector For 2016 Toyota Highlander And Trailer With Only Backup Lights
  • Since you are needing backup lights only you can install part # 37185. This is a 7-way that plugs into the 4-way you have on your Highlander. You can then add the backup light wire from your vehicle to the appropriate pin for the 7-way while still retaining a 4-way connector. The # 37185 comes with a mounting bracket included. for a no-drill bracket you can use part # C57202. If the trailer 5-pole is a flat connector you can use part # A10-7275VP. This plugs into the 7-way on your vehicle...

  • Why Use a Class III 2 Inch Receiver Over a 1-1/4 Inch Receiver for 2007 Toyota Sienna
  • The biggest reason to go with a 2 inch receiver over a 1-1/4 is the wider range of hitch accessories that are compatible with a 2 inch hitch. You are right that you would not gain any towing capacity with a Class III 2 inch receiver. However, you would gain 50 pounds of tongue weight capacity. There is a great selection of 2 inch accessories available like bike racks and cargo carriers. To use cargo carriers as an example, we have about 30 different carriers for 2 inch receivers, but only...

  • Finding Lock Number on Thule and Yakima Lock Cores
  • What brand equipment did the lock core come from, Thule or Yakima? A Thule lock has the lock number engraved onto the face of the lock, next to the key slot. The number will usually be preceded by the letter N. A Yakima lock has the number stamped onto the side of the cylinder, and would usually begin with the letter A. Without a lock number, we would have no way of matching up a replacement key. If the Yakima or Thule lock cylinder is damaged so the number can't be read, you'd need to...

  • Do Longview Original Custom Towing Mirrors # CTM4000 Have Adjustable Mirror Surfaces
  • Yes, the Longview Original Custom Towing Mirror set # CTM4000 has a manually adjustable mirror surface that you can angle as needed for the best view. This set of towing mirrors installs without tools and it will not interfere with your OEM mirrors' break away function nor their own mirror adjustment.
