Expert Answers about Toyota Trailer Tongue Box


  • Recommended Trailer Tongue Box At Least 22" Tall Inside
  • The tallest trailer tongue box that I'm seeing is going to be the DeeZee Specialty Series Trailer Tongue Tool Box - A-Frame - Aluminum - 7.24 Cu Ft - Silver # DZ91717, which is exactly 22-3/4" tall inside; with that said, it's not poly/plastic and I'm not sure you'd be able to store 2 nitro style gas cans in there. This box is 20" wide at the front and 34" wide at the rear and 22" long overall. I've linked a short review video of this box for you to have a look at, as well.

  • Should Stainless Steel Or Galvanized Bolt Be Used To Mount Trailer Tongue Tool Box In Coastal Area?
  • Stainless steel fasteners are going to be a much better option for securing a Trailer Tongue Toolbox # 350970 to the front of your trailer. Galvanized are going to be able to wear through the coating and begin to corrode while stainless is throughout the bolt and will not corrode and rust away. We do have a Polyethylene Box # 3371701680 if you are wanting something lighter and not aluminum. This box only weighs 21lbs versus 37lbs for the aluminum above. We do have the U-Bolt # CE15501A...

  • Parts Needed To Power Interior Lights On an Enclosed Cargo Trailer
  • It looks like you already have everything you need to complete this mission. The only thing left to do would be to drill a hole or find an existing wire path into your trailer from the battery box and run the wiring to your lights. The last thing you'll want to make sure you have is some silicone # 0160297 to seal the holes and keep water out.

  • Recommended Solution for Bike Rack When Towing Travel Trailer with Limited Mounting Space
  • I have a solution for you, and I'll start out by saying that I cannot recommend using a dual hitch adapter like the Malone 2" Dual Purpose Hitch Receiver # MPG544 because it reduces the tongue weight capacity of the hitch on your 2013 Toyota Highlander. Unfortunately this does mean that using your Kuat Transfer V2 # KU24FR isn't an option with your trailer setup because of the side mounted jack and the front cargo box. With all of that said, you can use the BikeBase Trailer Tongue Adapter...

  • Which Travel Trailer Storage Cover For 31 Foot 2006 Weekend Warrior FS2600
  • When we list a cover for a particular length of travel trailer, the stated length is for the length of the box, not including the trailer tongue. Your Weekend Warrior is listed as being 31 feet in length, which is most likely the full length of the trailer, including the tongue. To determine the correct cover for your needs, you'll need to measure the overall length of the box at its longest point. If this length is 29-31 feet use # 290-52245. If the actual length of the box is 24-28...

  • Parts for Installing Weight Distribution on a V-Nose Trailer
  • Reese does have a different bracket available for towers with V-Nose trailers or trailers with boxes on the A-Frame tongue. These brackets, part # RP58305, bolt-on to the side of the frame instead of going over the top. Since they are not Snap-Up brackets, you will have to hitch the trailer, raise the truck and trailer via the trailer jack, attach the chains, then let the jack down.

  • Effects Of Installing Over Rated Gen-Y Gooseneck Adapter
  • You're correct when installing a higher rated Gen-Y hitch it would cause you a rougher towing experience. I would recommend sticking with The Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin Box # GY43FR. The Gen-Y hitch is designed to replace The Lippert 1116 and 1716 5th-wheel pin boxes. It has a towing capacity of 21,000 pounds and has a pin weight capacity range between 1,500 pounds to 3,500 pounds. The pin box has a heavy-duty steel construction and has a powder coat finish...

  • Parts Needed To Convert a 1999 US Cargo Enclosed Trailer From 5TH Wheel To Gooseneck Hitch
  • The easiest way to convert a 5th wheel trailer to connect to gooseneck hitch is by using either the Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter # CAB-C5G or Cushioned 5th-Wheel-to-Gooseneck Adapter w/ Offset # CAB-C5GX1216. Both of these attach to the king pin and are adjustable from 12"-16" tall. They can be used on trailers up to 20,000lbs with a 4,000lb tongue weight. If you prefer to use replace the entire pin box with one like the Gen-Y Hitch Shock Absorbing 5th Wheel to Gooseneck Pin...

  • Extension for Kayak Trailer for 21 Foot Tandem Kayak

The Rack and Roll has a 250 lb capacity but it can be upped to 350 lbs with HD Shocks # Y08110.

  • Looking For 7-3/4 x 5-1/4 by 7-1/4 Inch Battery Box

This is a little larger than what you were looking for, but it would work for you. To see a product description video featuring the box I recommended, just click the provided link.

  • Choosing The Correct Blue Ox Sway Pro Distribution Hitch For A 2008 Dodge 2500
  • Yes, The weight value of the bars are based solely on the tongue weight of the trailer. When choosing a weight distribution system you need to be as close as possible to the load tongue weight of the trailer. Being way under the tongue weight or way over the tongue will cause more sway problems then not having one at all. With that being said you would need The Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - Clamp On - 15,000 lbs GTW, 1,500 lbs TW # BXW1500. The Blue Ox SwayPro...

  • Will the Blue Ox TrackPro Work on a Trailer with Surveyor Legend 19BHLE with 405-lbs Tongue Weight
  • When choosing a weight distribution system you'll want to try to find one where the tongue weight of your trailer falls in the middle of the prescribed range of the hitch. In this case, the Blue Ox TrackPro Weight Distribution w/ Sway Control - 7-Hole Shank - 6K GTW, 600 lbs TW # BLU36FR you were looking at is a great fit for your trailer with 405-lbs of tongue weight since the range on this hitch is 200-lbs to 600-lbs. This system comes with the hitch ball and shank included, so it's got...

  • How To Measure Tongue Weight On My Car Trailer
  • When It comes to using a weight distribution while towing a trailer using The Hitch Box Extension and Reducer for Titan 2-1/2" Trailer Hitches, 24 inch - 34 inch Long # RP45292 I would recommend The Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Trunnion - 8,000 pounds GTW, 800 pounds TW # FA92-00-0800. The tongue weight is generally a little over 10% of the gross towing weight which would put your trailers tongue weight around 600 pounds. When using a weight distribution system...

  • Can I Use the Roadmaster Tire Carrier with a Stowaway Cargo Box Attached to RV
  • We may have an alternate solution for you on this, but the long story short here is that we don't have anything that will make this work in the manner you're looking for. You're correct that the Roadmaster # RM-195125 would lower the tongue weight capacity of your hitch by 33%, and not down to 33% so you'd still be able to carry roughly 337-lbs total, so the answer to your first question is yes- this is correct. In looking at the calculations, the weight of the tire would also need to...

  • Which Weight Distribution Hitch for 2021 Little Guy Mini Max Towed by 2016 Toyota Sienna
  • When choosing the correct weight distribution system for your trailer, you'll want to consider what the fully loaded weight of the trailer will be; the tongue weight should be anywhere between 10% and 15% of that when loaded. For reference, the 240-lbs tongue weight is going to be the dry tongue weight of the trailer and will increase as full propane tanks, water and cargo are loaded. Since your trailer has a GVWR of 3500-lbs, you'll likely have a tongue weight when fully loaded of 350-lbs...

  • Trailer Hitch Tongue Weight Recommendation For A 2018 Hyundai Tucson
  • Even Though The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13240 is rated for a 525 pound tongue weight, since your vehicle's manual states that you have a maximum tongue weight of 220 pounds you 100% can not exceed the 220 pounds. So I do not recommend hauling around your dirt bike carrier because it exceeds the 220 pounds. You also would have to add the weight of the dirt bike added onto the carrier and that would more than double the maximum tongue weight for your 2019 Hyundai Tucson. There will...

  • Best Way to Provide Power to Electric Trailer Tongue Jack
  • In a typical RV-style 7-way the 12V charge circuit is carried on the pin at the 1-o-clock position as you look at the socket from the rear of the vehicle. Please refer to the linked photo. The 12V feed from a vehicle 7-way can deliver just enough trickle-charge current to maintain a strong battery while you're on the road, but it is not the best way to power a trailer jack. The best way to power a trailer-mounted 12V tongue jack, like the Stromberg Carlson # SC63VR, is to install a dedicated...

  • Recommended Keyed Alike Coupler, Trigger Latch and Tool Box Locks
  • I may have a solution for you, but there isn't a tool box lock that's going to be able to be keyed alike with all of the rest of the parts you're looking at. The best solution to key everything alike with a variety of locks is going to be a couple of different BOLT locks, since they key to your vehicle's engine key and would provide you with the solution that you're looking for. If you've got a Ford truck, you'd want to use the # BL7032496 for the trailer coupler lock, the # BL7025290...
