Expert Answers about Toyota 4Runner


  • Recommended Hitch for a 2001 Toyota 4Runner w/ a Larger than Stock Tire
  • The larger spare should fit with the Curt item # C13087 but no one tests these hitches out for larger than stock spare tires. We just don't have that information available to us. The reason I say the Curt should work is the exact reason you don't like it. It sticks out farther which gives more room for the spare. A 265/75/R16 tire is 1.04" larger than the stock 265/70/R16. I have attached a picture below of the stock spare tire installed on the Curt Hitch item # C13087. It is a tight...

  • Why are Weight Distribution Systems not to be Used on a 2000 Toyota 4Runner
  • When a vehicle manufacturer specifies that vehicle should not be used with a weight distribution system, it means that the frame of the vehicle cannot handle the stress of a weight distribution system and could result in severe vehicle damage. The vehicle frame could bend or buckle or the hitch could rip out of the vehicle frame. A weight distribution system transfers some of the tongue weight, the vertical load on the ball, further up the vehicle frame. Some frames cannot support the...

  • Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket Height
  • The best way to find out what kind of clearance is needed is to measure. From the research I did, your 2017 Toyota 4Runner is about 72" tall with factory tires. The Rhino-Rack Roof Mounted Steel Cargo Basket # RMCB you referenced is 5 1/2" overall in height. So that should put your 4Runner about 77-78" which is right under the 81" opening. But I still recommend that you measure your 4Runner and garage. Rhino Rack has a net and strap kit made for this basket # RLN1-RTD4 to keep all your...

  • Could Malone AirFlow 2 Roof Rack Carry Roof Top Tent
  • You'll need to check with the manufacturer of the tent to find out what is the minimum weight capacity for their tent from the roof rack. They should have a number listed for the dynamic capacity required for the rack which would translate into a higher static (parked not moving) capacity. The dynamic weight capacity of the Malone # MPG215 is 165 lbs which is definitely on the higher end so I would be surprised if this wouldn't work.

  • Steel Thickness of Curt Front Mount Receiver Hitch # 31367
  • I went out to our warehouse and measured the thickness of the steel on the Curt Front Mount Hitch Receiver # 31367 with a digital caliper. The steel on the crosstube measured 0.255 inch thick and the steel on the mounting brackets are 0.342 inch thick. The tow hooks themselves have a 1/2 inch diameter. I have attached an image to assit. I have not heard of a customer modifying this particular hitch so that it fits your 2003 Toyota 4Runner so I am not sure what that process would entail....

  • Adjustable Heights of Malone Axis Truck Bed and Roof Load Extender
  • That depends on the height of your 2019 Toyota 4Runner's back window (we don't have those dimensions, unfortunately); it is likely to work as an extension for your roof for sure, but your back window may not be high enough to use the Malone Axis Truck Bed and Roof Load Extender for 2" Hitches # MPG907. You will need to take some measurements and compare that to the adjustable heights of the Axis Extender, which is adjustable from 55-1/2 inches to 62-1/2 inches. I have added some links...

  • Will U-Bolts of the Heavy-Duty Crossbar Fit Kit # RUBK Rust Easily
  • The U-bolts of the Heavy-Duty Crossbar Fit Kit # RUBK that you referenced are zinc coated which means they will do an excellent job resisting corrosion. It would take years of weather exposure for them to start to rust most likely.

  • How Large Are The Chain Links In The Glacier Twist Link Snow Tire Chains
  • The Glacier Twist Link Snow Tire Chains with Cam Tighteners - 1 Pair. part # PWH2228SC, per Glacier, has a link size of .23mm. They are rated for highway use and not off road use. The twist link pattern will give a slightly smoother ride than a square chain would. I have included a video review link and a diagram below.

  • Can Weight Distribution Be Used to Extend Vehicle Manufacturers Stated Tongue Weight Maximum
  • In some instances where the weight rating of the hitch is less than the tow or weight rating of the vehicle, a weight distribution system can be used to extend the weight rating of the hitch. This being said, if the 730 lb maximum tongue weight rating is stated by Toyota, that rating has the final word. I cannot recommend anything that would contradict the vehicle manufacturer recommendations.

  • Are There Fastway Round Bars Rated Higher Than 1,000 lbs
  • The highest-rated round bar Fastway Weight Distribution Hitch is the 10,000 lbs GTW, 1,000 lbs TW # FA94-00-1000. The system has 1,200 lb rated trunnion bars, but because these use a different head unit, this does require a new set up, the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution with 2-Point Sway Control - Trunnion # FA92-00-1200. This is a 12,000 lbs GTW, 1,200 lbs TW system, and the trunnion bars are going to be an improvement over the round bars because they do not hang as low, giving you better...

  • Recommended Thule Cargo Box for a 2019 Toyota 4Runner TRD PRO w/ a Toyota Basket Rack
  • Almost all of them but I would go with the big one! I checked with Thule and the Thule Force XT XXL Rooftop Cargo Box item # TH6359B is confirmed to work with the Toyota factory rack. You will want to adjust two of the crossbars so they are between 23-5/8" - 35-1/2" apart.
