Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2016 Toyota Tacoma Access Cab
Question:
I have purchased a Toyota Tacoma Access Cab and want to install a class III hitch receiver and the appropriate hitch lighting harness. Can you direct me to the appropriate products? I know that the 2016 Tacoma is the first major change since 2004, so I didnt want to assume that the 2015 model products would work. Thanks!

Expert Reply:
For a Class III hitch that has been confirmed as a fit for your 2016 Toyota Tacoma you would want the Curt hitch part # C13264.
For trailer wiring you would want the part # 119178KIT.
If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
