Trailer Hitch Recommendation-2015 Toyota Camry SE
Question:
Can the Reese trailer hitch that I have installed on my 2003 Toyota Avalon XLS be removed and reinstalled on my 2015 Toyota Camry SE?
asked by: Dan D
Expert Reply:
For your 2015 Toyota Camry, you'll need a new hitch because the rear structure of your 2003 Avalon is different enough that the hitch won't fit your Camry. The hitch wouldn't hang down far enough to clear the rear bumper, and the exhaust configuration at the rear of the vehicle is different.
I'd recommend the Draw-Tite Class II hitch, part # 36540, because it's reasonably priced and similar capacity as the other available hitches. If you're planning on doing some light duty towing, you'll need a few other items to complete your towing system:
Trailer wiring harness with 4 pole trailer connector, part # 118405 (see linked video)
Ball mount, part # 36071
1-7/8 inch trailer ball, part # 19256 or 2 inch ball # 19258
Hitch pin, # PC2
Locking hitch pin, # e98879
