Expert Answers about Toyota 4Runner


  • Can the Go Power DuraLite Charge A Jackery 500 Generator?I have a few questions regarding this pa
  • Yes, the Go Power DuraLite Portable Solar Panel with Digital Solar Controller # GP66FR is compatible with your pre-wired ZAMP port on your trailer, and you will not need any additional adapters. You may also want to check the polarity of your Zamp plug as they have been known to wire things backwards. I have included an FAQ that goes into a bit more detail on this. For your Jackery 500 it is not recommended to bypass the included charge controller however this panel does has both an...

  • Are Hazard Flasher Immunity And Prolonged Stop Features Available With Brake Controller
  • With a brake controller like the Primus IQ, part # TK90160 on your 2011 4Runner, the hazard flasher immunity is no issue since the 4Runner has separate stop and turn signals. I called my contact at Tekonsha and they said there were problems several years ago when flashers were used but it would not be problem with the newer brake controllers. When sitting with your foot on the brake for prolonged periods, the amount of braking current applied will decrease, but as soon as you touch the...

  • How To Measure a Spindle On a 6x10 Wells Cargo Road Force Trailer For Replacement Hubs and Brakes
  • You will need to measure your spindle using a Digital Caliper # PTW80157(see image below). Once you have those measurements I will be able to help you determine the correct hub for your application on your 6x10 Wells Cargo Road Force trailer. You may need to also lift the trailer since your wheels and tires on your truck are most likely a larger diameter than what you have on your trailer. Please also send images along with the measurements for your spindle.

  • Convert-A-Ball Multi-Hitch Ball Mount Fits Ball, Lunnete Ring, Clevis Hook, and Spade Couplers
  • If you plan to tow a variety of trailers including those with couplers that accept 1-7/8 inch, 2 inch, 2-5/16 inch balls, along with trailers that have a lunnette ring, spade, or clevis, then this is the ball mount for you. The cushioned part is made of a very dense rubber-like composite material that can absorb a lot of weight and shock, so I think it will work well for your application. I have included a link to a video review for this ball mount. I have also included a link to our FAQ...

  • Does 7-Pin Adapter For Go Power Portable Solar Kit Require Solar Controller
  • You will still need a solar controller when using the 7-Pin Trailer Adapter for Go Power Portable Solar Kits # 34270357. So it won't replace a solar controller it will actually plug right into it (via your 7-way) when using a portable solar panel like the Go Power Portable Solar Panel with Digital Solar Controller - 130 Watt Solar Panel # 34282730 or 200 Watt Solar Panel # 34282610.

  • Scale For Determining Travel Trailer Tongue Weight
  • We have an option for you so you can know exactly what the tongue weight on your RV is, but because they come in so many shapes and sizes, and because how a trailer is loaded can make the tongue weight vary significantly, a guesstimate is not something you'll want to rely on by any means. That said, generally it's somewhere in the range of 10 percent to 15 percent, but I very strongly recommend verifying any tongue weight with a simple tongue weight scale: - Tongue Weight Scale for Campers...

  • What Does No Lockout Mean On the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler
  • The lockout feature does not apply to fixed trailer couplers such as the Demco A-Frame Trailer Coupler w/ Jack Hole part # DM14793-97. The lockout feature only applies to surge brake actuators and the ability to close the proportioning valve so that the trailer can reverse without locking up the brakes.

  • Is There A Round Utility Light With Grommet That Has A Color Temp Of 5000k?
  • With the Optronics Uni-Lite LED Mini Trailer Utility Light w/ Grommet # UCL11CKB having a Color Temp of 5974k and 16.5 Lumens, it is quite a bit higher than what you are looking for. However, the Command Electronics LED Bullet Utility Light with Grommet # 328-ET003184CWM will be a little brighter at 23 Lumens, but it does get a lot closer to the color temp you want at 5200k. This will be the closest we can get in this style of light.

  • Can One Valterra W01-1573 Self-Regulating Cable Be Used on Water Supply Line and Holding Tank
  • You could certainly install the # W01-1573 heating cable in the manner you described. It would do a great job on the supply line, but how effective it would be on the tank will depend on the tank's capacity and size. Unfortunately, Valterra couldn't provide a 'rule of thumb' on the size of tank this particular set up would be best with. I'd run the line straight against the supply line, and run the element serpentine fashion on the underside of the tank, keeping the loops about a foot...

  • Will Timbren Suspension Enhancement Improve Ride On 2012 Toyota 4Runner When Empty
  • Installing a suspension enhancement system like the Timbren Vehicle Suspension, part # TTORSEQ will not affect the ride of your 2012 Toyota 4Runner when empty. The system is designed to help the ride when a heavy load is placed in your vehicle. It will work independently side-to-side to help compensate uneven loads and takes the majority of the bumps when traveling on rough roads, while reducing body roll on turns. I am not aware of a system that will lower your 4Runner. You will want...

  • 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.

  • Tools Required for Reese Steadi-Flex Assembly
  • The Reese Steadi-Flex Weight Distribution System w/ Sway Control - Trunnion - 6K GTW, 600 TW # RP66558 does require a 1/2 inch socket or use the wrench for the head assembly tilt and the bracket hardware. The 1-1/8 inch socket they reference is for the hitch ball, but depending on the hitch ball there may be a different size needed. The wrench they reference is simply an adjustable wrench so you can hold the nut while turning the bolts. They put that with the large socket for the hitch...

  • What Are The Color Options For The Malone Aero 58 inch bars - Item # MPG216
  • I contacted the manufacturer and the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack, Item # MPG216, with the 58 inch bars you referenced only comes in silver. To get a rack that fits your 2017 Toyota 4Runner with a black finish, I recommend the Thule Evo Raised Rail Feet # TH710401, 53" WingBar Evo Crossbars # TH711420, as well as locks # TH450400. It has a 165-lbs capacity. A more economical option is the Curt Roof Rack for Raised Side Rails # C18118 with a 150 lb capacity. I have attached some videos...

  • What Signals Are Carried on the Circuits of 7-Way Type Trailer Wiring
  • The 7-way type trailer wiring format does include enough circuits for all the trailer lights, 12V auxiliary power for a trailer-mounted battery and for trailer brakes. On a 7-way socket the trailer brake signal is carried on the contact at the 5-o-clock position. Please refer to the linked photo of a 7-way vehicle socket that shows you which signals are carried on each of the pins. I also included an article that explains all the types of trailer wiring in common use. Having a 7-way on...

  • How to Determine Correct Ball Mount For Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer
  • I can tell you exactly how to determine the ball mount with the correct rise or drop for your 2018 Toyota 4Runner so you can tow the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer # MAL53FR. Since we know the measurement from the ground to the bottom of the coupler on the EcoLight is 14 inches, the only thing you need to do is measure the distance from the ground to the top of your hitch receiver. If the measurement to the top of your receiver is more than 16 inches, you will need a ball mount with drop;...

  • What is the Warranty on the Thule Helium Aero Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack
  • The Thule Helium Aero bike rack, # TH9043PRO, comes with a limited lifetime warranty. I can tell you that I have seen hundreds of bike racks, installed them, tested them, fixed them, and the Helium is by far my favorite. It will not disappoint you. The cradles are the most advanced of any rack and feature road dampening pads. It also comes with an integrated cable lock, anti-rattle built-in and weighs only 19-1/2 pounds. I have included a link to a video review of this rack for you. If...
