Expert Answers about Toyota 4Runner


  • 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...

  • 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 Air Springs For A 2023 Toyota 4Runner
  • Out of all the air bags we offer I recommend the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4135 for your 2023 Toyota 4Runner.

The Firestone springs fit inside the existing coil springs which will help level your Toyota 4Runner. It will also help with improve braking and handling, and also help reduce tire ware.

  • Roof Rack for Installing Swagman Exo Aero Kayak Carrier S65145 on 2018 Toyota 4Runner
  • Swagman's Exo Aero Rooftop Kayak Carrier # S65145 is an excellent choice for heavier kayaks like fishing types since the carrier itself weighs only about 10-lbs. The Exo fits on crossbars up to 2-1/2-inches wide so since your 4Runner's factory bars are too wide you can add an aftermarket roof rack that will work great with the Exo. I recommend the SeaSucker Monkey Bar Rack # 298-SX6000B because it offers a high 150-lb weight rating and you can install them with a wide bar spacing to give...

  • Trailer Brake Controller Recommendation For A 2018 Toyota 4Runner
  • For your 2018 Toyota 4Runner, I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Elite Trailer Brake Controller # RED44FR. This brake controller works with electric, or electric-over-hydraulic trailer brakes, trailers with up to 3 axles, and with 12-volt and 24-volt vehicle electrical systems. When installed, the Tow-Pro elite creates a sleek finish in an out of the way location, only exposing the control knob. If you have the factory tow package, you can use the plug in adapter # RED49FR for a quick, easy,...

  • Solution to Cure Excess Movement and Noise When Carrying Canoe on 2010 Toyota 4Runner
  • I may have a solution for you, but with something the size of a canoe this is fairly common and there's not really a way around it by carrying your boat in this manner. For this reason I recommend getting a small trailer like the Malone MicroSportXT Trailer - 78" Crossbars - Retractable Tongue - 800 lbs # MPG460XT since it would get rid of everything that's going on with the vibrations. You can use the Malone BigFoot Pro Canoe Carrier with Tie-Downs - Gunwale Brackets - Side Loading - Clamp...

There are two standard sizes that we have tire chains listed for on your Tesla are the 255/40-20 and the 255/45-19. If you have the 255/40-20 I would recommend The Konig Tire Chains # TH2004205117.

  • Air Springs And Compressor Recommendation For A 2006 Toyota 4Runner Sport
  • For your 2006 Toyota 4Runer Sprot, I recommend the Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4135. These springs have a load leveling capacity of at least 500-lbs, and at most 1,000-lbs. It should be noted that the coil springs will not increase your vehicle's carrying capacity, and you should still stay within the manufacturers recommended weight carrying capacity. This system, when paired with the Air Lift WirelessONE Compressor System for Air Helper Springs # AL25980 will allow you...

  • Aries Grille Guard And Replacement Hardware For A 1999 Toyota 4Runner
  • So when it comes to grille guards, the mounting hardware is going to be grille guard specific, as well as vehicle specific. So the mounting hardware that goes with that grille guard is going to only work with the truck it was pulled off of. So in order to make that grille guard work for your vehicle, you'd need to fabricate it to your vehicle. However, if you are interested in another option that requires much less fabricating and is guaranteed to fit your vehicle, take a look at the: -Aries...

  • Equipment Needed to Install 7-way Trailer Connector on RV and 1996 Toyota 4Runner
  • The Curt # C57674 you mentioned would be a fine choice. For the RV, you'd plug in the C57674 adapter to the existing 4 pole, which would provide lighting for the trailer. If the trailer doesn't have brakes, your install would be complete. If the trailer has brakes, you'd need to install a brake controller using a # 5506 brake controller install kit. The kit includes 25 feet of wire, which wouldn't be enough for an RV. Extra wire is sold by the foot as part # 10-2-1. For the 4 runner, you'd...
