Trailer Hitch Availability for a 2011 Toyota Tacoma
Question:
Do you have a hitch to fit my 2011 Tacoma?
asked by: Rick
Expert Reply:
Yes, I checked with Curt and trailer hitch # 13323 is a fit for the 2011 Toyota Tacoma models. To wire your vehicle for towing, you would be able to use custom-fit Tow Ready wiring harness # 118496.
To equip your Tacoma for towing a trailer, you would also need a ball mount, a hitch pin, and a hitch ball. The recommended ball mount for your vehicle would be # C45010, which would place the hitch ball at the most common trailer height. To determine whether this would be appropriate for your particular trailer, you could measure from the ground to a point just below your vehicle bumper, where the hitch would be installed. Then, measure from the ground to the flat bottom of the trailer coupler. The difference between these measurements would be the required rise or drop.
I would recommend a locking hitch pin like part # e98880 to secure the ball mount to the hitch. You would use part # 19247 for a 2 inch diameter hitch ball, or part # 19260 for a 1-7/8 inch diameter.
I am including links to the instructions for both the hitch and wiring, as well as some additional information on towing in general.
