Since you do not like the strip type we do have several light bars you could use on your 2012 Toyota Tundra including # RA960134 (stop, tail, turn). There are additional options for...

• Comparison Between Draw-Tite and Curt Front Hitch for 2013 Dodge Ram 2500 4WD
• The Draw-Tite Front Mount Hitch you referenced, part # 65063, does indeed protrude through the bumper.

• Titan 7000 lb Hydraulic Actuator Versus Atwood Model
• Your assumption about the Titan versus the Atwood coupler is correct. When the tow vehicle comes to a stop, the front of the coupler portion will swivel downward which compresses the actuator. The Titan simply slides directly rearward, with no pivot involved. Although either coupler would serve you well, I prefer the simpler Titan design. The Titan actuator you referenced, part # T43397007K would be ideal for you if your trailer uses drum brakes. Your brake assemblies will not be needed...
