  • Troubleshooting Trailer Fuses Blowing on a 1992 Toyota Truck When Put in Reverse with a Trailer
  • Sounds like your taillights and trailer lights are overdrawing your 1992 Toyota Pickup and that is why the fuse is blowing. When you put your truck in reverse you have your foot on the brake which is activating the trailer brake lights as well as the truck brake lights, and then when the reverse lights of the truck come on additional amperage is being pulled and most likely causing the fuse to blow. What needs to happen is the amperage draw of your trailer needs to be reduced. The easiest...

This Hitch has a concealed cross tube so the only part that is visible will be the receiver...

  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13086 is a fit for a 1993 Toyota Truck.

  • Running Lights Not Working on Trailer
  • For starters, you will want to turn the vehicle on and test the running light circuit (brown wire) on the vehicle's 4-way with a circuit tester like part # PTW2993. If power is present, then you know the problem in on the trailer. If power is not present, then you know the problem is on the vehicle. If the error is on the vehicle side, then you will first want to start by checking the fuse box to see if any fuses associated with the trailer or running lights are blown. If not, you can...

  • Truck Bed Bike Rack Recommendation for a 1986 Toyota Pickup
  • I may have an option that will work for you, but I do not believe the Topline Truck Bed Bike Rack will work with your truck. It was designed for truck bed walls with an inside lip. Instead, I recommend looking at a bike rack like the Thule Insta-Gater Pro, # TH93VR. This is a wheel mount bike rack that also does not require a lip. I have attached video reviews for each of these bike racks for you to check out.

  • Need Hydraulic Trailer Brake Kit for 1999 Demco Kar Kaddy Model KK360
  • The Hydraulic Trailer Brake Kit, # AKUBRK-35 that you linked to is for a 10" diameter x 2-1/4" wide and for 4 bolt flange. It does appear that his will fit the application you are asking for, for the 1999 Demco Kar Kaddy Model KK360 with drum brakes. However, I will point out that we have the recommended replacement brake assemblies for the Demco Kar Kaddy in # DMSB24429M for the left side and # DMSB24428M for the right. The # AKUBRK-35 is a good product but Demco does recommend the...

  • Can More than One Transmission Cooler be Added to a 1993 Toyota Pickup Truck
  • Transmission cooler # D13502 will lower the transmission fluid temperature on your 1993 Toyota but whether or not it lowers it enough to keep the light off depends on a lot of things. Primarily it depends on the location of the cooler. If it is in front of everything, the radiator, AC condenser, and behind the grille where it can get the most air flow it is going to be the most efficient. Hilly terrain, high ambient temperatures, and frequent starts and stops also will make the temperature...

  • Can an Engine Oil Cooler be Used on a 1993 Toyota Pickup Truck with 3.0 Liter V6
  • Engine oil coolers are not vehicle specific so you can use one on your 1993 Toyota pickup. Cooler # D15502 will fit and includes the fittings you will need. Your motor takes thread size 3/4-16 and has an o-ring diameter of 2-3/4 inches. In most cases the factory oil filter will fit but sometimes a shorter filter is required. For your truck you could use Fram filter # PH3600 or # PH3614. I have included a link to the instructions for you to view.

  • The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118379 is a confirmed fit for your 1992 Toyota pickup.

  • What Hitch do You Recommend for My Japanese 1992 Toyota Hilux?
  • For your 1992 Toyota Hilux, we did have a neighbor that installed the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13086 on his Toyota Hilux model. I went ahead and attached a picture of the fitment of the hitch on his truck. However, I called Curt and my contact confirmed that there is no way of telling if that hitch will fit for sure on your 1992 Toyota Hilux. Also, as you can see in the attached picture, the hitch does not have the cleanest installation. With that being said, I recommend a universal...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness for a 1994 Toyota Pickup
  • We have a harness that can work for your 1994 Toyota Pickup. First, the Tow Ready 17499-204 didn't have much information about it online, so I couldn't determine if it is compatible with your vehicle. The information I did find did not allude to being compatible with your truck. When it comes to wiring your vehicle, it's best to stick with something that is built for your vehicle. That's why I recommend the Curt T-Connector, part # C55379. This is a confirmed fit for the '94 Toyota Pickup...
