Easily attach a variety of accessories to the front of your vehicle with this fully welded, corrosion-resistant trailer hitch receiver. Perfect for winches, spare tire carriers and more.by: John09/03/2022
A good install! A bit of trimming for my application , but the bolt holes lined up perfectly. This front hitch was not specifically for a Lexus GX 460 but I decided to try it. There is a small area of lower bumper plastic that had to be trimmed. The hitch was pushing up against it before it was high enough to be in place. Upon trimming that area, it went in perfectly. If trimming the lower plastic is not for you, probably best to pass. However for my use, it works well. It is a stout piece, very strong. I added a pic with a red line to show where the trim needs to be.

Installed on my 2012 Lexus GX460. Perfect fit once I cut the center section of the lower plastic area for it to fit. Also had to trim the bottom splash guard and bend in the L brackets that hold it on. Took me about 2 hours. Very happy with the outcome. Now can mount snow blade for the driveway clearing…or any other hitch items.

I had great personnel service, and the Hitch Receiver is solid. The material is heavy duty, and the welds are first class. Second item I've bought from etraier and both time I have been 100 percent satisfied. I go offroad and I use the hitch to hold a 2nd spare tire. I just got back from a 1,500-mile road trip to the Naveda mountains, in rough terrain, in 7-degree weather and many feet of snow and it held perfect. American made is the only way to go when your life depends on it.

Fit perfectly on my 08 Lexus GX470. Super excited for the additional functionality of having a front hitch. I move trails around my tight yard but also will enjoy putting a cooler on the front cargo rack, and having my hitch mounted winch up front. So versatile.

2007 Toyota 4Runner
Okay, first things first. I installed this hitch on a 2006 4Runner, even though the hitch wasn't specifically for that model year (Curt says the hitch fits 2007-09 4Runners). The 2006 4Runner's front tow hooks are angled down, which is a requirement for this hitch to fit (see the picture). One snag I ran into was that the four bolt holes along the top of the hitch didn't quite line up with the bolts on my 4Runner (the holes were not quite far enough apart) so I took the hitch to a machinist who elongated the holes for me. I don't know if this mismatch was a manufacturing defect in the hitch, or whether it was due to the difference between a 2006 4Runner and the 2007-09 models. Once I fixed the hole spacing, the hitch installed fine. Seems like a solid hitch. Planning to use it to push a trailer around when parking it.

This thing is great! Its so much easier to push a trailer around using a front hitch than it is to back it with the rear hitch. I can push this thing up a long curvy driveway with no trouble. Definitely recommended.

2008 Toyota 4Runner
I installed this on my 2008 Toyota 4runner in order to back my pop up camper down an inclined very tight drive. It was difficult to use the rear hitch because I did not have enough room to straighten out the 4runner. I did it with the front hitch on the first try! My wife says it saved our marriage! Putting the camper away was the most stressful part of the trip before this. I did need to buy a longer ball hitch of a different height because the front hitch sits lower and further under the bumper. Etrailer quickly shipped exactly what I ordered

Great Fitting Hitch for the front of my FJ Cruiser. I needed a solution to re-use a personal plow from another vehicle. Luckily, the plow was able to be converted to a 2" receiver hookup. Using my existing winch for the up/down with a snatch block. Even with aftermarket Warrior Bumper and Skid Plates fit perfectly. Ground clearance not compromised. 6 bolt installation, EASY PEEZY.

The front mount Toyota FJ Cruiser hitch fit perfectly. It took me 30-45 minutes to install. you need a 145mm socket or wrench and a larger socket for the bolts that come with the kit (I used an adjustable). Good clean install using a total of 6 bolts (4 existing and 2 new that bolt to the factory tow points.
Excellent Kit!!! very happy!

What a value!! I installed this front receiver hitch on my 2007 FJ Cruiser and is was a perfect fit. I planned to use it for a bicycle rack mount when pulling my boat but use it also for a winch mount, access step for under the hood and for trailer handling in tight spaces. Super fast shipping from etrailer.com and great price too!!
Thanks, et!!

Fit my 2006 4Runner perfectly. Some have had issues installing this hitch on a 2006 4Runner here in the reviews. I purchased this 31367 hitch in February 2019, but did not get around to installing it until today, December 2020. The installation was quick and simple. Removed four nuts connecting the bumper to the frame (but four bolts remain so the bumper stays intact) by using a couple drops of Liquid Wrench (like WD40, but more aggressive penetration) on each to help loosen them with the 1/2" drive breaker bar (about 16" long) and 14mm socket. Then lifted the hitch in place to hang on the bolts and placed the nuts on snug but not tight. The hitch comes with two 24mm bolts that then go through front hitch plates, front vehicle tow hooks, and have a heavy duty rectangular 'washer' used on the under side of the tow hook to bolt the front hitch to the tow hooks. These vehicle tow hooks must be angled down at 45degrees (straight out about 1/2" then down at 45degrees) to match the front hitch mounting plate which is also at 45degrees. As shown, the front hitch has replacement tow hooks welded to it, so you still have hooks after mounting. I then tightened the two 24mm bolts and then the four 14mm bolts. Done in about 45 minutes from box open to box in the recycle bin.

2014 ToyotaFJ Cruiser
For 2014 fj cruiser; will not fit until you cut-off the two inside lower mount bolts that do not attatch the front bumper brackets at the end or front of the frame. Not sure why these bolts are there, but may be by Toyota for some other option. Haad to cut-off then grind the remaining remnant f the stud before installation could proceed.

Did you use hack saw or some easier method of cutting off bolts. Did you find what use these bolts were mounted for.

Couldn’t be happy with my purchase. Has been holding up great!!
by: Deborah10/01/2022
Bolt holes did not line up. etrailer was no help. Many unreturned calls and unhelpful emails and unanswered questions, and no solutions offered. Finally gave up. Will probably have to have it welded on.
When they asked me to review it after one year (now), I stated the above to them. Their response was: "etrailer is continuously looking for ways to improve our customers' experience and we take your comments very seriously. Without honest feedback from valued customers like you we would not know where we need to make improvements." But again, offered no help or solution.
by: Ariana06/14/2021
Holds two fat-tire e-bikes securely. Easy to mount the bikes and remove them. Perfect solution for us as our airstream cannot accommodate a bike rack. Very satisfied with this product and would recommend it to anyone needing a front rack. Additionally, etrailer customer service is above and beyond. We will be using them again when needed for sure!

I've used my front hitch off and on for a year now, and without apology. I've taken it on aggressive 4x4 trails scraped on boulders, carried cargo 1000 miles, towed vehicles, pulled stumps, and it's a solid as ever! Very happy, it does everything I wanted.

- Front Hitch And Spare Tire Carrier For A 2010 Toyota Fj CruiserYes, the Curt Front Mount Hitch # 31367 will indeed fit a 2012 Toyota FJ Cruiser. It has a 350 lb vertical load limit so it can certainly be used for a spare tire mount. A really good option for a carrier is our etrailer Hitch Mounted Spare Tire Carrier # e98ZR. It has a universal bolt pattern design so it will accommodate virtually any wheel/tire combination.

While he did not have any notes stated that it would not fit the Trail Team package models, he could not say for sure that it would fit. I have included a link to the instructions below.

If you already have the winch but not the hitch mount, the Bulldog Hitch Mounted Winch Mounting Plate with Handles, item # BDW20011, will work with the mounting pattern of the Warn winch also.

Curt does list this hitch as a fit for all models of the 2014 FJ Cruiser so that would include models with the off road package.
view full answer... - Does Install of Curt Front Hitch # 31367 on 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser Require Cutting of BoltsSeveral years ago we did have one customer who reported that they had to cut bolts for the Curt front hitch part # 31367 to fit their 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser but we haven't had any other customers report the same thing so I would not anticipate it being a requirement for you as well.
view full answer... - Front Hitch Recommendation for 2007 Toyota 4RunnerFor your 2007 Toyota 4Runner we have one front mount hitch, the Curt part # 31367 which is a confirmed fit. We can't recommend trying to install any other hitch on the front of your vehicle. With a bike rack mounted to the front of the vehicle normally it's not an issue but you have to consider that it might block headlights and turn signals depending on the style of bike and how "see-through" it might be.

It was not designed to fit any other vehicles therefore I can not say whether or not it will fit a 2022 Lexus GX460. Just a heads up that attaching this hitch to a vehicle it's not designed for will void the hitch warranty and can also require major modifications done to your Lexus...

But looking at pictures of the Expedition One WyoOtto bumper versus the stock bumper it does not appear that the new bumper hangs down any lower than the stock bumper.

That being said, we definitely have options for a hitch on the camper and bike rack rated for use on said camper.

- Troubleshooting Installation of 2008 FJ Cruiser Front Mounted HitchWith factory bolts, there is often thread locker or binding from time and debris. I recommend using a penetrating oil lubricant to work into the threading to allow you to loosen the nut. I recommend spraying the oil all the way around the nut only where it makes contact with the bolt and then using a wrench and mallet to add vibration to that nut. The vibration will help the oil get inside and loosen the hold. You may need to use a breaker bar to get the torque needed to loosen the...

Curt tells me that due to differences at the front frame structure and tow hooks, the hitches aren't interchangeable I'm sorry to say. It's not just a difference in the front fascia/air dam.

Installing a rear hitch on your Cruiser and installing a bike rack would block the camera as well. My only recommendation would be to install a front mount hitch like part # 31367, on your Cruiser.

Works very well. I use it for mounting bikes in front, mounting a removable winch, and a front basket when I am camping. I had to add a 12 inch extension, the hitch is tucked under quite a bit. This is a very stout set up. No worries for any use.
