  • 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...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation 2012 Toyota Highlander with VIN That Indicates Tow Package
  • Yes, what you found by giving your VIN to a Toyota dealer is the relevant info for picking out trailer wiring. So that means the Curt trailer wiring kit part # 56042 would be all that you'd need to have a 4-way. This easily plugs into a port at the rear of your vehicle and you'd be set. I attached an install video for this kit for you to check out as well.

  • Troubleshooting Weight Distribution System that Still Allows Suspension Sag
  • One of two things are going on most likely.... You either are trying to tow a trailer that weighs too much for the capacity of your 2017 Toyota Tacoma or you are using a weight distribution system that is not properly rated for your trailer's tongue weight. Keep in mind that your tongue weight figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. Air bags would not be a solution to your problem and would more or less be a band aid. I looked up the towing...

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2012 Toyota Sienna
  • I've linked you to the available hitch part numbers for your 2012 Sienna. May I make a Recommendation? I'd personally choose a Class III hitch like the Curt part # C13343. 2 Inch Class III hitches have a much better selection of hitch mounted accessories available than the smaller 1-1/4 inch Class II hitches do. The game changer about the # C13343 is that it uses a concealed cross tube, which means that the only portion of the hitch that's visible is the receiver tube and the safety chain...

  • 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...

  • Spare Mounted Bike Rack Options that Fit 2010 Toyota RAV4
  • The Hollywood Racks SR1 2 bike rack part number # HRSR1 is a confirmed fit for your 2010 Toyota RAV4 that has the rear mounted spare. For a spare mounted bike rack that fits your vehicle that can carry 3 bikes instead we have the Malone RunWay # MPG2148. If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment...

  • Timbren Axle Less kit for 4,000 lb Trailer that has 4 inch Lift
  • The Timbren Axle Less Kit part # ASR2KHDS03 that you referenced is essentially a 2,000 lb axle so it would take two of them for a 4,000 lb trailer. If you have a 4,000 lb trailer axle the most similar option that would work well you'd want the Timbren # T99GR which has a 4 inch lift like the axle you mentioned and has a 5,200 lb capacity so it would work great.

  • Recommended Towing Mirrors for 2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser
  • Due to the unique design of the factory mirrors on your 2013 Toyota FJ Cruiser your best option for adding a towing mirror is a door-mount unit like the CIPA # 11650. This will attach to the bottom of the door and in between the top of the door and window to provide you with a 5 inch x 8 inch mirror that extends out 17 inches from the vehicle for maximum vision. One mirror is included that can be used on either the driver or passenger side. All of the custom and clip-on style universal...

  • Roof Rack Recommendation for 2006 and 2021 Toyota Corolla to Use with Thule Hullavator Pro
  • I recommend going with the Yakima JetStream roof rack system for your 2006 Toyota Corolla because it will be long enough to accommodate the Thule Hullavator Pro Kayak Carrier # TH898, and you'll be able to use the same crossbars and leg kit for your 2021 Toyota Corolla. 50" JetStream Crossbars - Black # Y00425 BaseLine Towers - # Y28TR Fit Kits - # Y06136 and # Y06148 Lock Core Kit - # Y07204 (optional) Then once you get the 2021 Corolla you just need the Fit Kits # Y06135 and # Y06151.

  • What Kayak Lift Assist Option Can I Use On My 2013 Toyota Avalon
  • You need to install a roof rack on your 2013 Toyota Avalon. The Thule Hullavator is compatible with your vehicle. Unfortunately, any roof rack for your vehicle will clamp to the frame of the vehicle. The roof rack that I recommend for your 2013 Toyota Avalon will consist of the following: Yakima CoreBar Crossbars - Steel - Black - 60" Long - Qty 2, part # Y00422 BaseLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars - Naked Roofs - Qty 4, part # Y28TR BaseClip Fit Kit for Yakima BaseLine Roof Rack Towers...

  • Can Truck and Trailer with Weight Distribution System be Turned Tightly
  • With a weight distribution system like the Fastway part # FA92-00-0600 you can back up as long as you back up mainly in a straight line. You want to avoid getting the trailer into too tight of a jackknife situation. Going forward you're totally fine to make tight turns as you can't get into the same tightness of a turn like you can in reverse.

  • Weight Distribution Recommendation for 2,600 lb Trailer
  • Weight distribution systems are not intended to have the trailer sitting nose up like you mentioned. You want the trailer sitting as level as possible when using a WD system just like when towing without one. This is why the systems come with shanks that have several mounting holes to allow you to have more flexibility with the height setting so that you can get the trailer as level as possible. A weight distribution system would be ideal for you as it will reduce the rear suspension sag...

  • 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...
