  • Is the Draw-Tite Hitch DT55MR for a 2022 Toyota Sienna Concealed?
  • I have attached a picture of the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver item # DT55MR installed on a 2022 Toyota Sienna van. It is not a concealed hitch but it is the lowest profile hitch of the available options for your van. If you need a wiring harness I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # TK69FR. This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness located in the rear cargo area. This will provide you...

  • Can The Frame Of the Trailer Be Installed In the Slot On the Scissor Stabilizer Jack
  • In regards to the Scissor Stabilizer Jack part # TJSC-24, the slot is not designed to support the frame. I must recommend you attach the two ears to the bottom of the frame as you can see in the attached video. I have also attached for you some general dimensions of said ears below as well.

  • Solution for Trailer Hitch Where One Bolt Won't Line Up Perfectly to Thread in
  • Sometimes hitches will get slightly bent during shipping which makes the install a bit more challenging. Normally we recommend getting all of the bolts started at first and then torquing them down. Typically this gives enough play to allow all of the bolts to line up and then everything will work out.

  • 2020 Highlander Platinum AWD Trailer Wiring Recommendation
  • Since your 2020 Toyota Highlander has the factory towing package the correct trailer wiring kit is the part # 22119 which will give you a 7-way harness. This kit (and any other option) does require the harness have the power wire ran from the rear to the front of the vehicle. This ensures that the vehicle wiring and trailer wiring is protected in case of a trailer wiring short. The more inexpensive kits are basically hardwire kits which require you to use a circuit tester to test all...

  • Is Drilling Required to Install etrailer Trailer Hitch on 2023 Toyota Highlander
  • During the installation of the trailer hitch on your 2023 Toyota Highlander, there is not any type of drilling into your frame required.

  • Yes! In order to find a local installer for the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - 2" # e98853 for your 2015 Toyota Sienna, there is text underneath the product photos/videos that reads "Need help with installation?

  • Availability of Installation Video for EcoHitch on 2020 Toyota Prius
  • The installation process for the EchoHitch # EH53VR is very similar to the Curt # C11473 and Draw-Tite # 24966. The hitch requires the removal of the bumper and installs behind the bumper beam on your 2020 Prius XLE. Although we do not have an installation video specifically for the EcoHitch yet, we do have them for the Curt and Draw-Tite. I have attached the installation videos below so you can reference them along with the instructions for the EcoHitch to complete the installation....

  • Does Trunk Mounted 2-Bike Carrier Allow Trunk Access On 2021 Toyota RAV4?
  • All trunk-mounted bike racks, including the Yakima Full Back 2 Bike # Y02634, prevent access to the trunk when installed on a vehicle. This is mainly due to the fact that vehicle trunk/hatch supports are not made heavy duty enough to withstand the excess weight of the bike rack and/or bikes. The bike rack itself is also not designed to carry bikes in that position so I do not recommend trying to do so. This carrier is very easy to install and use! The straps simply clip around your vehicle's...

  • Installing Trailer Wiring Harness on 2019 Toyota Highlander Hybrid
  • It sounds like you're looking through the installation instructions for the Curt T-Connector Wiring Harness # C56217 that requires you to first disconnect the negative battery terminal. You are right that on the 2019 Toyota Highlander Hybrid the 12V battery is located in the left-hand side of the luggage/cargo compartment. You are also correct that disconnecting and reconnecting the battery may at first prevent the hybrid system from re-starting. Keep in mind though that disconnecting...

  • Can my 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser Tow a 3000 lb Pontoon Boat
  • According to what I was able to find in my research, the towing capacity for the 2007 Toyota FJ Cruiser is 5000-lbs, so you are able to tow a 3000-lb boat without any issue. With that being said, you should always consult your owner's manual to confirm this towing capacity. When towing a load that is more than 1/2 of the total weight on your tow vehicle, it's usually a good idea to tow with a weight distribution hitch. This is going to help distribute the weight more evenly across the...

  • Can the Factory Tow Package Connectors On Rear of 2006 Toyota Tundra Be Replaced
  • I do have an option for you but we don't carry the factory plugs that connect to the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness part # HM43385 on a 2006 Toyota Tundra. That said, you could indeed simply remove them and hardwire the wires using butt connectors like part # DW05745-5 and part # DW05744-5. I am not sure if you would even be able to find the connectors so in which case this would be the best option. If the wires don't color match you will need to test or look at the pin outs...

  • Does Hands-Free Liftgate Work on 2017 Toyota RAV4 With Curt Trailer Hitch C13406
  • It is possible with each trailer hitch that fits your 2017 Toyota RAV4 that the Hands-Free liftgate will be affected and possibly lost, and that includes with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13406. Generally, this doesn't happen, and what you'll have to do is kick your foot to either side of the 2" receiver of the # C13406 to activate the liftgate, but it is possible that the functionality will be lost. If you're okay with that, and are planning on using the hitch for towing, you'll...

  • Does Exhaust have to be Lowered to Install Curt Trailer Hitch on a 2012 Toyota Venza All-Wheel Drive
  • According to the instructions for Curt hitch # 13356, linked for reference, lowering of the exhaust is required on all models. And on AWD models you also have to disconnect the sway bar brackets like you said. It might be possible to angle the hitch in without lowering the exhaust but it would be difficult. If you plan on doing some towing I recommend etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or...

  • Adding Tow Bar Wiring to 2018 Toyota Camry Being Towed on a Dolly
  • You can add lights to your Camry that is on a tow dolly, but there isn't a conversion kit or anything of the sort. The only thing that you can do is add tow bar wiring such as the Roadmaster Universal Hy-Power Diode Wiring Kit # RM-152, cutting off the 4-way from the tow dolly and connecting all of the wires inside a junction box like # 38656. I have added links below to some video reviews of these parts for you to check out as well if you'd like.

  • Will the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller Still Work Even When There's Poor Service
  • The Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 will still work great even in rural areas with poor service. It doesn't actually use cellular data or WI-FI at all for function. It simply uses Bluetooth to receive and send signals between the mobile device and control unit so it won't be hampered in areas with poor signal. It does require an active data connection to install the app but then it would work great even when the phone is completely offline. If you somehow forgot...
