Expert Answers about Toyota Tacoma

• Recommended Weight Distribution System For Trailer Towed With 2015 Toyota Tacoma
• The first thing you want to check out is the weight capacity of your trailer hitch with a weight distribution system. The capacity of a hitch can change when you use a WD system. You will want to know the gross tongue weight to find the right system. The weight you need to know is the tongue weight of your trailer when it is fully loaded and ready to tow added to the weight of any cargo you place in the truck bed behind the rear axle. This can include water, coolers, or any other gear....

• Tire Chain Recommendation for 2022 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport
• I was able to find the tire size of your 2022 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport online as the size 265/65-17 so for tire chain recommendations in this size my favorite option is the Konig Easy Fit chains part # TH04115265 which provide superior traction, will last a long time, and install the easiest in a matter of seconds. If you were looking for something that will get the job done well and costs a lot less the Titan chains part # TC2526 would work great. The traction will be there but the install...

• Towing Mirrors Recommended for 2019 Toyota Tacoma
• We do offer some universal-fit options available for your 2019 Toyota Tacoma, but the custom-fit CIPA mirrors you'd mentioned are a fit for a late model Ford F-150 and therefore wouldn't fit your truck. Unfortunately, there aren't any custom fit option available for your Tacoma. I'd recommend the K-Source # KS3990 dual-lens clip-on towing mirror. What sets these mirrors apart form other clip-on mirrors is the very sturdy straps used to attach the towing mirrors to the existing factory...

• Why Is It Important To Use The Correct Equalizer Weight Distribution Hitch For Your Trailer?
• The important thing to figure out is what is the tongue weight of your airstream trailer and how much additional load will you have in the bed of your 2018 Toyota Tacoma. The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37060ET is rated for tongue weights of 200-600lbs. The Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System # EQ37100ET is rated for tongue weights of 600-1000lbs. If you were to use the # EQ37100ET with a lower than 600lbs of tongue weight the bars may not have enough tension on...

• 72 inch Trailer Axle with 2k Capacity and Hub/Drums to Match
• We have 72 inch axles that are 2k rated with idler hubs as a single part number but none that have the hub/drums on them so you'd need to order an axle with spindles only in that configuration and then add the hub/drums and assemblies like with the # T20BTR-7258 and then hub/drums # 8-257-5UC3 and then for assemblies # 23-47 and # 23-48. Then for a wheel and tire that's 15 inch with the bolt pattern you are needing the part # AM32418DX would be a great option.

• Parts Needed to Tow Trailer with Tractor Loaded with 2019 Toyota Tacoma
• The weight of a 1710 Ford tractor is very manageable for the towing products we offer for your 2019 Tacoma like the etrailer.com hitch part # e98905 which has a towing capacity of 6,000 lbs. Then to install a 7-way trailer connector for the wiring you'd need the kit part # 22117 and you'd be set. For a brake controller I'd recommend the Curt Echo Mobile part # C51180. Basically this just plugs into an active 7-way and once you sync it to your phone it's ready to go. This brake controller...

• Towing Mirror Recommendation for a 2010 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner and 2015 Toyota 4Runner
• Since there isn't a custom fit mirror available for your 2010 Toyota Tacoma Prerunner or 2015 Toyota 4Runner I recommend the K Source Universal Clip-On Towing Mirror, part # KS3891 for your vehicles. As long as you have a lip on the edge of your mirrors, these will work great for you. These mirrors are sold individually and will attach to either the driver or the passenger side mirrors. These mirrors measure 7-3/4 inches tall by 5-1/8 inches wide. I have attached a link to a product review...

• Will Draw-Tite Spare Tire Carrier 6715 Work With Kuat Pivot 2 and 2" Receiver On 2017 Toyota Tacoma?
• Yes, the Front Mounted Trailer Hitch Universal Spare Tire Carrier # 6715 you were looking at will fit in the Draw-Tite 2" Trailer Hitch Receiver you have installed on your 2017 Toyota Tacoma, and will work just fine with the Kuat Pivot 2 Swing Away Hitch # PVP20B. Since the # PVP20B has a 250lb weight capacity and the # 6715 only weighs 18lbs you will be plenty under the weight capacity even when your 33" tire and wheel is loaded. To prevent the tire carrier from moving in the swing away...

• Why Do Trailer Wiring Harnesses for 2020 Toyota Tacoma Require Power Wire to Battery
• The available trailer wiring harness for your 2020 Toyota Tacoma, is the Curt T-Connector # C56349 you were looking at (which would also be my recommendation), do require that a hot lead be ran up to the battery for power. As you mentioned in your question, there are many vehicles that don't require this connection but there are just as many (if not more) that do. While I can't say for certain what the particular difference is between your previous model vehicles and your new 2020 Toyota...

I am not sure what tire size you have but I am fairly certain you have a 2012 Toyota Tacoma which the most popular tire size for that vehicle is the 245/75-16 and for Mud Service chains that fit that size we have the # TC2439 from Titan which would do a really great job. If you have a different tire size let me know and I'll pick you out the best option. I attached an install video of the tire chains...

• Roof Rack and Cargo Basket that Wont Let Water Leak Into a 2004 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab
• When properly installed the clamps used to install SportRack roof rack # SR1005 will not affect the weatherstripping and would not cause water to leak into the cab of your 2004 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab. If a roof rack is not installed in the proper location, over tightened on one side, or the wrong roof rack was used, that is when you would run into problems. The roof rack can support a cargo basket. The bars have a capacity of 130 pounds but you will need to check the vehicle owners...

• Best Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2009 Toyota Tacoma with Factory 7-Way
• For a brake controller I would recommend the Prodigy P2 Brake Controller part # 90885. This is our best selling brake controller because of how well it works and how easy it is to setup. This is a proportional brake controller that senses the amount of braking the tow vehicle is applying and applies a proportionate amount to the trailer brakes. To install this brake controller in your 2009 Toyota Tacoma all you need is the correct install harness, part # 3040-P. I attached an install video...

• Front Hitch and Bike Rack for 2007 Toyota Tacoma Towing Camper
• I have a different solution that I think may be just what you need. What I would recommend is a front hitch like the part # 65070 which is confirmed as a fit for your 2007 Toyota Tacoma so that you can install a hitch out front and not mess with the interference and capacity issues out back. Then for a platform rack designed for the heavier E-bike I'd recommend the Swagman bike rack part # S94FR which has a capacity of 70 lbs per bike.

• We have just what you are looking for. I called my contact at TDE and asked about the hub you have on your boat trailer. They told me that it was a 5-stud idler hub for a 3,500-lb axle. That means you need the part # AKIHUB-545-35-K. This is a fit for the standard spindle 3,500 lb dimension that your trailer.

• Recommended Replacement Tongue Jack For Additional Ground Clearance On Angle Iron Trailer Frame
• For the etrailer Round, Snap-Ring Swivel Jack #TJBB-2001-B to fit properly on your homemade camping trailer the frame will need to be boxed. This would require having additional frame material welded where you intend to mount the new jack. I recommend installing the Ultimate Trailer Jack # 322-RDJ-2K in your A-frame mount. This jack assembly can be raised to 1-3/4" with the jack retracted and moved to its lowest setting. The jack can then be adjusted in 2" increments up to 12" and raised...
