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.

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.

Lexus

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.

2009 Toyota 4Runner

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.



by:
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.



by:
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

I just used it again today, and it is still working great. Glad I got it.

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.

I love my new front hitch. Shipped ahead of time and easy to install. Works great when moving the boat into the garage.

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!!

were you able to keep the grey front skid plate with the front receiver installed. ive been researching but cant get a definite answer. the vid for install doesnt have it on.

I think this unit will work very nicely for being able to run my winch from either the front or the rear of my FJ Cruiser.



by:

Because of my complicated parking configuration I required a front mount hitch. The product came quickly right to my door. Installation on my 2007 Fj Cruiser was so simple and took no more then 30 minutes.
Thanks!

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.

J W.

3/29/2015

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



by:

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:

Couldn’t be happy with my purchase. Has been holding up great!!



by:

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!



by:

Ordered a 07 model and it worked perfectly on my 06 4 Runner



by:
2011 Toyota 4Runner

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.



by:

Good fit no instal issues thanks a lot.

  • Does Skid Shield Stay in Place on a 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser when Installing Curt Front Mount Hitch
    The Curt front mount trailer hitch # 31367 should fit forward of the skid shield on your 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser. It should be just like the video I have linked to the right on a 2008 FJ. You can see the skid shield stays in place parts of this video. 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.

  • Best Front Mount Trailer Hitch for a 2007 Toyota 4Runner
    The correct front mount trailer hitch for a 2007 Toyota 4Runner is the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 31367. The Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 65074 is a fit for a 2017 Toyota 4Runner. They are both bolt-on options that will not require any drilling into the frame rails.

  • Recommended Front Hitch for a 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser w/ a Motorcycle Carrier
    Yes, it can and thanks for the picture! The Curt Front Trailer Hitch item # 31367 has a 350 lbs vertical load limit. So long as your carrier weighs 90 lbs or less this set up will work great with your 2011 Toyota FJ Cruiser. I have linked an installation video below to help you get this hitch installed. If you need a motorcycle carrier, I recommend the etrailer Motorcycle Carrier w/ Ramp item # e98873. This carrier has a 500 lbs capacity and weighs only 58 lbs.

    It sounds like you might want to use Curt front mount hitch # 31367 on a vehicle it was not designed for. Please note that doing so will void the hitch warranty and can also require major modifications done to the vehicle to get it to fit. This hitch is designed for the 2007 to 2009 Toyota 4Runner, 2007 to 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser, and 2010 to 2013 Toyota 4Runner Trail Edition only. It will not fit any other vehicles.

  • Front Mount Trailer Hitch for a 2010 to 2013 Toyota 4Runner Trail Edition
    Because of the slightly different design of the Trail Edition of the 2010 to 2013 Toyota 4Runner, it requires its own front mount trailer hitch. For your Trail Edition you can use hitch # 31367. This hitch fits several vehicles, including yours, and I have included a link to its instructions and a video showing an installation.

The front-mount hitch receiver you referenced, Curt # 31367, is a fit for various model years and versions of the 4Runner and FJ Cruiser, but not for your RAV4.

  • How to Determine if a Curt Front Hitch Be Installed with a Bull Bar on a 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser
    In most situations front hitches and bull bars aren't compatible together on a vehicle like your 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser because they use the same installation points and occupy the same area for the most part. Since the front hitch # 31367 hasn't been tested with a bull bar I can't say for certain if it would fit or not. The best recommendation I can make would be to check out the install video and instructions I attached so that you can decide if they two could be both installed at the...

  • Is There a Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver Available For a 2019 Lexus GX 460?
    As there is not a custom fit front receiver for your 2019 Lexus GX 460 you will need to have a receiver fabricated. The Curt Weld-On 2" Receiver # E17 is a great starting point for having a custom receiver fabricated. The Curt Receiver # 31367 fits a 2007 - 2009 Toyota 4Runner, 2010 - 2013 Toyota 4Runner Trail Edition and a 2007 - 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser. These are on different chassis than your Lexus which is on a chassis closer to a Sequoia which there is also not a front receiver available...

  • Can the Loops on a Front Mount Hitch be Used for Vehicle Recovery
    Yes, the front loops on the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 31367 can be used for vehicle recovery up to 9,000 lbs. In fact, this is actually what they are designed for. This hitch will be a direct fit for your 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser and will not require any drilling. If you ever need to pull yourself out you can also attach a winch like the ComeUp Cub Winch w/ Mounting Plate for 2" Hitches part # CU123933. I have attached a photo of the finished product for you as well.

  • Is there a Front Hitch for a 2004 Toyota 4Runner?
    No, I am sorry I do not. I also checked with our vendors and it doesn't look like anyone made one for the 2005 Toyota 4Runner. The only option I have for you is to use the Curt Weld-On 2" Receiver item # E17 to have a custom fabricated hitch created at your nearby fabrication shop. This receiver will give them an easy plate to weld to for the receiver end and give you a hidden design.

  • Can A Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver Be Installed On A 2008 Toyota Highlander?

At this time there is not a custom fit front mount trailer hitch confirmed to fit your 2008 Toyota Highlander but that does not mean that a universal option like the Draw-Tite # 41990-07 cannot be installed. You would need to have a local fabricator modify it and weld it to your vehicle.

Just keep in mind the weight capacities of the hitch and winch in comparison with the weights you will be pulling. The hitch has a 9,000 lb vertical line pull capacity.

    Several 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.

  • Front Hitch Recommendation for 2007 Toyota 4Runner
    For 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.

    According to my contact in the engineering department at Curt, the two front receiver fits for the 2013 Toyota 4Runner are the # C31054 for limited or SR5 models and the # 31367 for the Trail models. 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. Your best bet would be to go with the # C31054. The C31076 is a fit for 2014 to present 4Runner models,...
