• Difference Between NOCO Genius Smart Battery 5 Amp and 10 Amp Chargers
• The amp rating is really the only difference between the NOCO Genius Smart Battery Charger 5 Amp # 329-GENIUS5 and the 10 Amp # 329-GENIUS10. The 5 amp weighs in at 1.5 ls and works with batteries up to 120 amp-hours while the 10 amp weighs in at 3.3 lbs and works with batteries up to 230 amp-hours. So the 10 amp version is for a bigger application but that's it. I don't know what battery you have in your Yamaha but you can use the specs I mentioned above as a guide. There should be an...

• Recommended Brake Controller for 2016 Toyota 4Runner
• The Redarc Tow Pro Elite # RED44FR provides responsive and customizable proportional braking for your trailer and is one of our most popular and well reviewed brake controllers. I really like that it mounts out of the way and the only visible part is the control knob, which allows you to adjust braking on the fly as needed. You can use the # RED49FR adapter in your 2016 Toyota 4Runner to make the installation much easier. I've linked a review and installation video of this controller...

• Comparing Curt and Tow Ready Trailer Wiring Harnesses for a 2001 Toyota 4Runner
• There is not much difference at all between Tow Ready harness # 118341 and Curt harness # C55341. Both install the same way and work the same way. The Curt harness is rated a little higher at 3 amp per circuit for stop/turn lights and 7.5 amps for tail lights. The Tow ready harness is rated for 2.1 and 4 amps. The way the internal parts are arranged is a little different as well. The Curt converter has all the bips and bops attached to one side of the circuit board. The Tow Ready harness...

• Comparing Trailer Hitch Receivers for 1999 Toyota 4Runner
• The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13157 is my recommendation for you. I've attached a video to assist with the comparison of the 3 hitches confirmed to fit your 4Runner to assist. This Curt hitch will give you the same look as the Draw-Tite hitch # 75091, but will give you more towing capacity when using weight distribution. The only difference between the Curt # 13157 and # C13087 is the look and the chain mount location. They have both the boxy and the rounded for visual appeal. I've...

• Comparing the Longer and Shorter Thule Roof Cargo Baskets for a 2007 Toyota 4Runner
• I am happy to help you in determining which Thule roof cargo basket is best for your lifestyle and your 2007 Toyota 4Runner! The most important questions when comparing these 2 options is how much space do you plan on needing and will the larger basket stick out in front or behind your 4Runner? The smaller basket, part # TH859XT, measures 49" x 40" x 6" while the larger basket, part # 59504-EXT, has the same width and depth measurements and is just 20 inches longer at 69" long. The other...

• Comparison of Saris SA4026F SuperClamp EX 4 Bike and SA4414B Freedom 4-Bike Rack
• The difference between the Saris # SA4026F Saris SuperClamp EX 4 Bike Platform Rack and the Saris # SA4414B Freedom 4 Bike Platform Rack is how the bikes are held to the rack. The # SA4026F holds the bikes by the wheels/tires with no frame contact. This is good for carbon fiber framed bikes that don't do well in a carrier that has direct frame contact. The # SA4414B Freedom holds the bikes from the top tube or down tube. This rack would be a good choice for cruiser-type bikes with fenders,...

• Are the Draw Tite and Hidden Hitch for 2003 Toyota 4Runner the Same Hitch
• Yes, the Hidden Hitch part # 70779 and the Draw Tite # 75155 are the exact same hitch as they are both made by the same parent company Cequent. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in 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 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount...

• What is Difference Between V2 and V3 of Redarc Tow Pro Elite
• The V3 designation of the Redarc Tow Pro Elite part # RED44FR means that it's the most recent version of the brake controller. This is the third version and has been slightly updated. Functionally you wouldn't notice a difference aside from a slightly smaller knob of the V3.

• Comparing Reese Steadi-Flex and Equal-I-zer Weight Distribution Systems
• The 180 pounds is the dry tongue weight. Tongue weight is usually 10 to 15 percent of the gross trailer weight. So if 180 is the minimum and the gross trailer weight rating is 3,200 pounds that would mean that on the high end the tongue weight could be as much as 480 pounds. Also for weight distribution you would add in the weight of anything carried behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. So for example if the trailer tongue weight is 300 pounds and you have 100 pounds of stuff loaded...

• What Are the Differences Between the Kuat Piston Pro and Piston Pro X Bike Racks
• There are some subtle difference between the Kuat Piston Pro Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # KU76ZR and the Kuat Piston Pro X Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # KU98VR. Overall the two racks are very similar, there are just some subtle differences/upgrades on the Piston Pro X. Both racks feature ratcheting arms with hydro-pneumatic pistons, cradle-less wheel trays, spring-loaded foot and hand pedal that lets you tilt and fold the rack with ease, easy installation with the flatlock cam system and keyed-a-like...

• Comparing Curt Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver C13702 and C13704
• The only differences between the Adjustable Width Trailer Hitch Receiver for RVs # C13702 and the # C13704 you were looking at is the size of frames they fit. The # C13702 works with box or C channel frames that are 18" - 51" wide, where the # C13704 works with box, C channel, or I beam frames that are 22" - 66" wide. Both hitches have the same 500lb tongue weight rating and 5000lb trailer weight rating, so the correct one will be dependent on the frame of your travel trailer. You will...

• Comparing the Fulton F2 Trailer Jacks with 1 Wide Wheel or the Twin Track Wheels
• For ease of maneuverability, I would go with the wide wheel Fulton F2 Trailer Jack, # F1413040134. The wide wheel will have more ground surface contact and the weight will be better distributed than with a single. This is a good feature on soft ground. Jacks are good for short distances but for a better solution you may be interested in the Rack'Em Trailer Dolly, # RA20. It has a 1-7/8 inch diameter ball and is good for up to 500 pounds tongue weight.

• Comparing SumoSprings and Timbren Off-Road Bump Stops for 2023 Toyota 4Runner
• The Timbren Active Off-Road Bumpstops part # TABSTORSEQ which are a fit for a 2023 Toyota 4Runner are pretty similar to the SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs like part # SS68DR. The Timbrens provide more support but the SumoSprings ride smoother. Therefore, it all comes down to preference and how you'll be using them. I personally prefer the SumoSprings as they offer the best of both worlds, ride quality and support. The only difference between the SumoSprings part # SS68DR and part...

• Will Timbren 5200lb Axle-Less TASR5200S05 Have Same Ride Quality As Timbren Axle-Less 3500 HD?
• I would be happy to help! The Timbren Axle-Less 5200lb Suspension # TASR5200S05 you were looking at will have a stiffer ride than the same trailer with the 3500lb HD kit, the # TASR35HDS07. Both kits have the same 2" lift and use the same hub and drums, the # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K, with the main difference being the built in progressive rate AEON main spring. If you are loading the trailer close to 3500lbs I don't think the ride quality change will be glaringly obvious, but if the trailer is...

• Which Tow Bar Is Best For Mostly Uneven Terrain Use The Roadmaster Sterling or Blackhawk 2
• In my professional opinion, for your situation with traveling more on uneven terrain with your 1999 Toyota 4Runner, I would go with the Roadmaster BlackHawk 2 All Terrain Item # RM-422. I think the steel construction will withstand more pressure. That being said it is steel and is prone to corrosion over time. Also it is going to be heavier being steel. I don't know the exact weight but with my hands on experience using, testing, and installing it, I would guestimate it being somewhere...

• Parts Needed to Install a Prodigy or P2 Trailer Brake Controller on a 2012 Toyota 4Runner
• If your 2012 Toyota 4Runner came with the factory tow package, you will just need the wiring harness # 3040-P. Plug it into the back of the brake controller and plug the other end into the connector on the vehicle that is located underneath the dash, to the left of the steering column, taped to another harness near the emergency brake pedal. Make sure to ground the additional white wiring on this harness so the brake controller will work. The Prodigy and P2 are similar controllers. The...
