Expert Answers about Toyota Pickup


  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 1989 Toyota Pickup 4x4
  • While we have the components needed to flat tow your 1989 Toyota Pickup that's 4x4 I am not able to pull up an online version of your owners manual due to the age of your vehicle. If you have one in your truck it should be listed there under the recreational towing section. Or you can contact a Toyota dealer. You'd need the base plate kit part # 1123-1 which is a confirmed fit for your truck. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting,...

  • Can Hopkins Tail Light Converter Kit Be Used for Combined Tail Lights on Motorcycle
  • Yes, the Hopkins Tail Light Converter Kit # HM48895 will technically work to take the separate circuits on your bike and combine them so that the stop/turn signals are carried along the same wire for use with your 3-wire tail lights. You would need to cut off the 4-Way connector and hardwire that end to the new tail lights. A better option though is going to be with the Roadmaster Brite-Lite Wiring Converter # RM-732, as it wouldn't require any modifications and is really designed specifically...

  • 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.

  • Ladder Rack and Canoe Carrier Recommendation for 1991 Toyota Truck
  • Most truck bed ladder racks are designed to fit specific vehicles. For your 1991 Toyota Truck I recommend the Yakima Outdoorsman 300 Ladder Rack with 58 Inch Crossbars # Y01136-Y00409. The crossbars allow you to perfectly match the width of your truck bed. If you need the rack with longer, 66 inch crossbars, you can use part number # Y01136-Y00410. The Yakima KeelOver Rooftop Canoe Carrier with Tie-Downs # Y04069 will work great with the Outdoorsman ladder rack. The KeelOver includes...

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1988 Toyota Truck
  • The first thing you will need to do is install a base plate kit on your 1988 Toyota Pickup. There are several options based on the configuration of your vehicle. If you have a 2-wheel drive model you would want the Roadmaster Base Plate kit part # 1117-1. If you have a 4 wheel drive truck without front leaf springs you would want the part # 1146-1, 4-wheel drive with front leaf springs part # 1123-1. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables,...

  • Hitch for 1992 Toyota Hiace IH113
  • I don't think an exact fit hitch is sold in the USA for your Toyota Hiace. You should take a look at the Curt # C13701 adjustable hitch. This hitch can be adjusted for width and then welded or bolted onto an existing frame. I have attached a video review of this product.

  • Can a 1991 Toyota Pickup Be Flat Towed or Will a Vehicle Dolly Be Required
  • Typically vehicles that are equipped with a manual transmission can be flat towed without using a vehicle dolly, however there are usually recommendations as far as putting the transmission in neutral and the key position of the towed vehicle, etc. Through my research I was unable to verify if you could flat tow your 1991 Toyota pickup, and what steps should be taken to proceed, or if a vehicle dolly was required. Many of our flat towing resources and manufacturers only provide recommendations...

  • Replacement Hitch for 1991 Toyota Pickup Truck
  • We would not have a part such as this. All the brands we sell are welded together and then the large side plates are bolted to the frame of the truck. If the metal on that part has cracked then I suspect the remainder of the hitch is of a concern for weaken structure. I recommend replacing the entire hitch with the Curt # 13086 Class-3 hitch with 2" receiver that is a confirmed fit for your truck, and includes all hardware needed for installation.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 1989 Toyota Pickup 2WD and 2010 Chevy Traverse AWD
  • We do have parts needed to flat tow your 1989 Toyota 2WD pickup that is a dually with the base plate kit part # 1117-1 that you referenced as the correct fit. Then for the 2010 Chevy Traverse the correct kit is the part # 523149-1. The rest of the parts needed are not vehicle specific so they can either be used on either vehicle interchangeable or if they are permanent install kits like wiring would fit both but you'd need two kits. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 1981 Toyota Pick Up 4x4 and LED Trailer Lights
  • For your 1981 Toyota Pickup you will need to first determine whether or not you have combined or separate taillight circuits. Combined taillights are ones that the blinkers and brake lights are on the same circuit. Separate means the taillights circuits are on different bulbs. Which either way you would want the Curt Circuit Protected wiring harness part # C59496. This harness can work on either taillight style, the only difference will be how you install the harness on your vehicle. The...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Wiring Harness For 1994 Toyota Pickup Truck
  • I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # 75031 for your 1994 Toyota pickup. This is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2-inch receiver opening. This hitch will not fit the T100 model truck. Per the instructions, the bumper and bumper brackets need to be removed so you actually have less work to do when installing this trailer hitch. If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with...

  • Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness for 1988 Toyota Pickup
  • We do have a couple universal harnesses that are confirmed to fit, however there is not a custom, plug and play style wiring harness available for your 1988 Toyota Pickup. To install a 4-Way connector, I recommend the Harness # C59496. This is a hardwire kit that features a ModuLite Protector with integrated circuit and overload protection to safeguard both the harness itself and your truck against shorts or miswiring. A circuit tester is also included to assist with locating the correct...

  • Are There Air Bags for a 1991 Toyota Pickup
  • I do have an option for you but we don't offer air bags for a 1991 Toyota Pickup. Instead, I recommend upgraded jounce bumpers like the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TTORTAC4A which offers a bolt-on fit and works well to reduce sag while towing or hauling. They also don't require maintenance like air bags do.

  • Ladder Rack Recommendations for a 1992 Toyota Pickup
  • The only TracRac ladder rack listed for the bed of a 1992 Toyota truck is # TH14750. A TracOne model is not available for this vehicle. But you can use a ladder rack from Yakima, # Y01136-Y00409 rated for 300 pounds. The width of the tops of the bed sides on the truck are not an issue. Another, similar rack that you can use is # CG-902. It is rated for 500 pounds.

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Blinkers that Only Work When Brakes are Applied
  • This could be a ground problem. A bad ground connection can cause all sorts of problems. First check the trailer connectors on the vehicle and on the trailer for any dirt or corrosion and clean them out. Corrosion can also build up behind the connectors where the wires attach. On the vehicle side, make sure that the main ground is attached to a clean bare metal surface on the frame. On the trailer side connector, again make sure that the main ground is attached to a clean metal surface. Use...

  • Weight Distribution Recommendatino for Towing 3,500 lb Trailer
  • If the trailer you plan on towing weighs more than half of the weight of the tow vehicle we recommend the use of weight distribution. Or if there is considerable sag in the vehicle rear suspension. The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup. You should note that the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your vehicle should be considered tongue weight as well. I attached an FAQ on determining tongue weight for you...
