Expert Answers about Toyota Tundra


  • How to Charge Truck Bed Camper Battery from Vehicle
  • You are on the right track to answering your question of "why isn't the battery," being charged as the reason is that the charge circuit of your vehicle just can't carry enough amperage/voltage to keep the battery charged. The reason this is the case for your new setup is most likely because your new camper has a larger battery and/or has appliances that just draw more which uses more of the battery and the current circuit just can't keep up. So the wiring of the 12 volt charge circuit...

  • Best Way to Add Length to Trailer Tongue to Allow Tailgate to Fold Down
  • The Brophy Ball Mount 13-1/4" Long # BH20 is going to be your best option since hitch extenders cut the capacity of the hitch, they are used in by 50 percent due to added leverage and movement. A longer ball mount avoids that so as long as the # BH20 would be long enough to accomplish what you need it would be best solution. You will also need a compatible hitch ball like # A-90 for a 2 inch diameter or # 19286 for a 2-5/16 inch diameter hitch ball with the 1-1/4 inch diameter shank.

  • Easy to Install Brake Controller Recommendation for 2018 Toyota Tundra
  • While we don't have a brake controller solution for your 2018 Toyota Tundra with a factory 7-way that attaches to the factory brake controller port under the dash of the truck I can set you up with an easier to install option than that which is also one of the best performing brake controllers out there. So the easiest to install brake controller that also works really well is the Curt Echo Mobile part # C51180. Basically this just plugs into an active 7-way and once you sync it to your...

  • Roof Rack and Cargo Basket Recommendation for 2017 Toyota Tundra Crew Cab
  • The etrailer cargo basket part # e98914 that you referenced is a really great choice for a basket option for your 2017 Toyota Tundra. It's a better priced option that is on par quality-wise with the much more expensive options plus it looks great too. I attached a review video for this for you to check out as well. Then for a roof rack the Inno rack part numbers # INXB130-2, # INXS200, and # INK742 is a really great option confirmed as a fit for your truck. It's an aero bar rack which...

  • Does Install of SumoSprings Solo Kit SSR-610-40 Require Replacing U-Bolts
  • The SumoSprings Solo kit part # SSR-610-40 is a fit for your 2021 Toyota Tundra and is a really great option to provide additional suspension support. We do not carry replacement axle U-bolts though as that's something Toyota would have to supply you with if needed. We haven't had that be a specific issue though so I would not anticipate it for you.

  • Available Grille Guards & Bull Bars for 2019 Toyota Tundra SR5 with Logo Radar Sensor
  • We do not have any confirmed fits for aftermarket grille guards or bull bars for the 2019 Toyota Tundra SR5 with the logo-mounted radar emitter which now seems to be a standard feature. I checked with Westin who make some of the nicer such items and while there are guards like # 45-3700 and # 40-3705 that my contact said will fit the truck so far there are none that will avoid disabling this feature. Westin was not able to offer any sort of timeline for when this might occur.

  • Corrosion On Contacts Inside of Air Lift WirelessAIR Remote
  • If the contacts on the battery terminals inside of the remote for your Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System became corroded and the remote still does not work once this corrosion was cleaned out then odds are the corrosion has spread to the contacts on the circuit board. If that was the case then you will need to replace the remote, the Replacement Wireless Remote for Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System part # AL73002 which is for the Air Lift WirelessAIR Compressor System for Air...

  • Rear Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for 2007 Toyota Tundra
  • If you still are experiencing sag with the weight distribution system that can mean a few things. Either the system is rated too low, the system isn't setup properly, or the vehicle is being overloaded. While we can help you pick out suspension enhancement I'd first verify those three things. You want to make sure the loaded tongue weight of your system falls right in the middle of the range of your setup. For suspension enhancement for your 2007 Toyota Tundra that will help the most...

  • Can Curt Chain Hangers Be Used Instead Of Clamp On Hangers Provided With BXW2000?
  • The Chain Hangers for Curt Weight Distribution Systems - Bolt On # C17005 will work for chain style systems that don't have sway control, so if you replace the tightening clamps of the Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control # BXW2000 you would lose the sway control ability of the hitch but it could still function for weight distribution. My recommendation instead is to use the Blue Ox Signature Series Lift Brackets for SwayPro Weight Distribution Systems - Clamp On or Bolt...

  • Replacing a 7-Way with a 7 and 4-Way on a 2014 Toyota Tundra
  • Trailer wiring harness # HM11141835 is designed as a replacement for a 2014 Toyota Tundra that came with a factory 4-Way. There isn't an additional connector if your truck already has the 7-Way. A simple solution would be to replace the factory 7-Way with # HM11143395 which is both a 7-Way and a 4-Way so you would have access to both types of connectors.

  • Is Weight Distribution With Sway Control Recommended for 2013 Toyota Tundra With Tow Package
  • Remaining under the recommended tongue weight is very important; not doing so is dangerous. Going over the tongue weight capacity can make your tow vehicle difficult to control because of the force at the rear of your truck. It will be difficult to turn and will have poor braking, so you definitely need to stay under the tongue weight capacity and make sure it is between 10% and 15% of your trailer's loaded weight. To ensure this I recommend the a tongue weight scale like the etrailer #...

  • Recommended Ladder Rack Compatible with BAKFlip MX4 Tonneau on 2017 Toyota Tundra
  • There is only one ladder rack that is compatible with the BAKFlip MX4, and that is the Adarac Pro Series ladder rack since it has uprights that are 90 degrees (perpendicular) to the truck bed rails. I've listed the Adarac Pro Series Ladder racks for each bed size that the 2017 Toyota Tundra is available with, so you'll want to choose from these: 5-1/2 Foot Bed # A4001665 6-1/2 Foot Bed # A4001671 8 Foot Bed # A4001676 All of these will allow your BAKFlip MX4 folding tonneau cover to fold...

  • Will the RoadActive Suspension for a 2016 Toyota Tundra Work With TRD Anti-Sway Bar
  • The RoadActive Suspension (RAS) Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit part # RAS34FR is an excellent option for a 2016 Toyota Tundra. In regards to compatibility, there should not be any with upgraded anti-sway bars from what I can see. The RAS kit mounts above the leaf spring pack so you will be fine.

  • Replacement Hitch for 2006 Toyota Tundra With Towable Bumper and Factory Hitch Installed
  • There has been quite a bit of debating back and forth over whether or not a hitch like the # 13184 can be installed on your 2006 Toyota Tundra. The manufacturers have also had mixed answers on the fit over time. One thing is for certain, installation would require modification of the bumper and also the removal of the factory hitch. Even then, there is no guarantee you will be able to fit a custom hitch on your vehicle. The best option would be to use a universal hitch like the Draw-Tite...

  • Will the SumoSprings for a 2021 Toyota Tundra Work With Lift Kit
  • The SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs part # SSR-610-54 which is a fit for a 2021 Toyota Tundra is designed to work with the factory suspension. There are many different types of lift kit options. If the kit consists of a spacer block under the leaf springs then there should be no issue but if it's any other type of lift then the system may not work properly. Another option assuming you have factory leaf springs is the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit part...

  • Will the Kuat Dirtbag Mount A Trek Powerfly 5
  • The Kuat Dirtbag Bike Rack # DRT15 requires a 15mm x 100mm axle size. Per the Trek site, the front hub through axle is 15mm on the Powerfly 5 so this will work great for you. From here you would just need to arrange the mounting location and obtain the mounting hardware needed. The video provides some additional details to get you started.

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for 16-Foot Tandem Axle Enclosed Trailer
  • Selection of a suitable weight distribution (WD) system requires you to know your trailer's actual fully-loaded tongue weight (TW). Gross weight is not enough. You'll want to measure your trailer's fully-loaded tongue weight (TW) and add to that the weight of anything in the tow vehicle that will sit behind the rear axle, such as a generator or loaded cooler. With this total TW you can choose a system rated high enough to move some TW forward onto the front axle without being so stiff that...

  • Troubleshooting Non-Functioning Trailer Left Turn Signal on 2005 Toyota Tundra with Tow Package
  • It is certainly possible that a 10-year-old factory trailer connector can go bad. Sometimes internal corrosion or damage may not be visible. We do offer replacements for the factory wiring in tow-package-equipped Tundras, such as Hopkins # HM43385 and Tow Ready # 20137, which plug in to the OEM connectors. Both of these include 7-way and 4-pole connectors. First, I suggest you check for blown fuses and replace any as needed. If this does not fix the problem, you can test the truck's wiring...
