Expert Answers about Toyota Tundra


  • What Are the Loops on the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch 31180 Receiver Used For
  • The tow loops on the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 31180 are recovery points that you can hook a tow strap to like part # EM59700 and pull yourself out with if you ever get stuck. They are rated for 9,000 lbs each just like the receiver tube. If you don't want to use these tow loops then we have the Curt Forged Tow Hook part # C45500 which will allow you to use the receiver tube opening to pull yourself out with. The other option you have is to install a front mount winch...

  • Do Factory Bedrail Covers Need to Be Removed to Install the Adarac Pro Series on 2019 Toyota Tundra
  • The Adarac Pro Series Custom Truck Bed Ladder Rack # A4001666 mounts to the rails of your 2019 Tundra using the stack pockets and doesn't require any drilling to install. You may need to remove your stake pocket covers, but it will install over the rail caps without removal. The Adarac Pro Series will be compatible with tonneau covers that mount inside the bedrails, but not those that mount on top of the bed rails. If you've got a tonneau cover that mounts on top of the bed rails there...

  • Can the Yakima Tracks for Roof Racks Be Trimmed Down and Still Have the End Caps Used?
  • Yes. You can cut the Yakima 60" Tracks for Roof Racks # Y01135 down to the size you need them and still use the end caps. You'll need to either cut them down to a size that still leaves the pre-drilled holes close enough to connect the end caps with the screws (as designed) OR you can drill new holes to connect the end caps on your own spacing needs. I've linked a photo to show you how exactly the end caps will attach to the end of your tracks.

  • How To Find the Backing On a Forest River R-Pod To Attach Extension Bracket of Solera Awning
  • I do not recommend using a molly bolt to attach the extension rod brackets on a Solera RV Slide-Out Awning like part # LCV000165063. The bottom line is that you need to find the backing and attach the extension rod bracket to this as there would not be enough support without doing this. It can be difficult to find the backing so your best option at this point would be to reach out to Forest River and ask if they can provide a drawing with it's location. This would eliminate having to drill...

  • What Mounting System Do I Need to Use for the Pioneer Platform # RR42108BF on My Leer 100XR Shell?
  • I have a great platform solution for you. Unfortunately, the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform 72" Long x 56" Wide RR42108BF is discontinued. However, with the recommended fit of the Rhino-Rack Pioneer Platform Rack for Short Camper Shells - Backbone - 60" Long x 56" Wide # RR63ZW, you will have both the platform and the mounting hardware available for installation with the modular Backbone. The Modular Backbone is designed to fit the track on the 100XR.

  • Brake Controller and Wiring Adapter for 2013 Toyota Tundra
  • Since you already have the factory wiring harness, you do not need the Tekonsha Custom Wiring adapter # 3040-p for your 2013 Toyota Tundra. The factory harness functions should be labeled, you cannot go by wire color since there is no standard for wire coloring. From what I have found, the factory harness has an additional green wire you will not need that may be taped off. I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED24FR over the # RED44FR unless you need the time-delayed...

  • Does Hayes Blackbird Brake Control Wiring Harness Need Extra Ground Wire on 2014 Toyota Tundra
  • I think what you mean is does wiring harness # HA81785-HBC require a separate and additional ground wire for a 2014 Toyota Tundra. Good news! It doesn't. Only the Tekonsha brake controller wiring harness, # 3040-P, has that additional ground wire since the ground in the factory connection point is insufficient for the Tekonsha controllers. The Hayes harness # HA81785-HBC only uses the factory ground so no additional ground is needed for the controller to operate effectively and properly.

  • How Long Does it Take a Shop to Install Firestone Air Bags on a 2001 Toyota Tundra TRD
  • Firestone Ride-Rite kit # F2245 is a fit for your 2001 Toyota Tundra TRD 4x4. I can't imagine that it would take a shop any longer than a 3 to 4 hours to perform the installation. That is about what it takes when we install them here. But what you can do is print off the instructions I have linked for you to the right and take them to some shops to get some estimates.

  • Is There A Way To Get Rid Of Vibration In The K-Source Towing Mirrors On My 2021 Toyota Tundra?
  • As all snap on custom towing mirrors, like the K-Source Snap & Zap # KS81300 for your 2021 Toyota Tundra, will snap over an existing mirror, you are going to get some vibration. If they were super snug, which would negate the vibration, they would most likely break when trying to fit them on. However, I have had people use felt strips with an adhesive back side stuck to the inside of the towing mirror to help with this. This is not something we carry, unfortunately, but should be something...

  • Installing Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller # 90885 in 2010 Toyota Tundra
  • If your 2010 Toyota Tundra does have a brake controller quick-connect port under the dash (not an OBD-II port or other similar-looking connector) you can use quick-connect harness # 3040-P to connect a controller like the Prodigy P2 # 90885. The linked video will help you identify the port. You can make sure you have found a brake controller port by testing the 4 pins (which should look like those on harness # 3040-P); one should have 12V at all times (to power the controller); one should...

  • Will Adding Cold Air Intake Increase Gas Mileage on a 2004 Toyota Tundra 4.7 V8
  • Cold air intake such as # AR511-163 can indeed help with better gas mileage. Better airflow makes the motor more efficient. You wouldn't notice on a single tank of gas but over time you should notice a little bit of an increase.

  • Redarc Liberty Install on 2014 Toyota Tundra With Factory 7-Way
  • Assuming that your 2014 Toyota Tundra has the factory 7-way trailer connector, in addition to the # RED24FR Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty, you'll also need the # 331-TPH-017 pigtail and the # 3040-P wiring adapter. The adapter and the pigtail would plug in together with the open end of the # 331-TPH-017 going to the Redarc controller, and the open end of the # 3040-P plugging in to the factory trailer brake controller port of your vehicle. You might also be interested in the # 331-TPSI-002 mounting...

  • Do All Models of 2001 Toyota Tundra Have Tow Package Connector at Rear of Vehicle
  • According to Curt, all models of the 2001 Tundra have the tow package connector located by the driver's side frame rail as shown in the provided photo. If you'd like a mounting bracket, I'd recommend # 18140 that would attach to the hitch crossbar using the included pipe clamp If the hitch doesn't already have a standoff for the bracket to mount to and the # 18144 bracket.

  • Installing an Electric Trailer Brake Controller on a 2008 Toyota Tundra with a Factory 4-Way
  • The problem that you are experiencing is due to several more connections that need to be made at the rear of your 2008 Toyota Tundra. You will need a Adapter 4 Pole to 7 Pole and 4 Pole, # 37185, if you do not already have one. Your factory 4-Way will plug into the back of this unit. You will then need to hardwire the remaining wires. The white wire needs to be grounded to the vehicle frame. The purple or yellow wire can be connected to a reverse light circuit behind one of the taillights...

  • Does Rhino-Rack Spare Tire Carrier Have a Lock
  • There is not a locking device that comes with the Rhino-Rack Spare Tire Carrier # RSWH. That said, depending on if the wheel has any type of gap/hole/spoke in it you may be able to lock it to your carrier with a cable lock such as the etrailer 10' Long Cable Lock # e98891.

  • Brake Controller Wiring on a 2007 Toyota Tundra
  • If your Tundra came with a brake control wiring harness you can use that to hardwire and install the Prodigy brake controller. If you prefer there is a custom wiring harness from Tekonsha,part # 3040-P, which would eliminate any need to hardwire. Simply plug the custom harness into the brake control port under the dash and then into the back of the controller. You can view a copy of the Prodigy installation instructions by clicking the link below.

  • Trailer Brake Controller Wiring Connector Location on 2015 Toyota Tundra
  • The brake controller connector is clipped to the back side of a panel located just to the right of the ignition key. You'll need to lower the panel and unclip the connector from the rear of the panel, then feed it down behind the panel so it exits out the bottom of the dash. I've edited a photo showing the location of the connector, and I've linked you to the install instructions for the # 3031-P. I've also linked you to our Brake Controller FAQ article, which contains more information...

  • Brake Controller, Wiring Adapter and Location of Brake Controller Connector on 2014 Toyota Tundra
  • Brake controllers are not vehicle specific, but the wiring adapter you mentioned, part # 3040-P is. The 3040-P is indeed the correct adapter for your Tundra, and the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 you referred to, part # 90885 would be an excellent choice. My contact at Tekonsha tells me that the location of the installation connector has not changed for the 2014 model year. The connector will be located near the top of the kick panel along side the drivers left foot (see photo). I have linked you...
