Replacement Hitch Installation Hardware for Curt Class III Hitch 13013 for Toyota Tacoma

Question

Question:

Hi, I own a CURT hitch for a 1999 Tacoma 4x4 SR5. The problem is I lost the hardware. I was wondering if you sold a hardware package separately for this particular hitch. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

We sure do have replacement hitch installation hardware for your Curt Class III hitch # 13013.

All you need to do is enter our part # RHK into our search box and press enter. Then click on the item image. Then on the page for the RHK kit enter in your hitch item number (13013) and select Curt from the drop-down menu. Add the item to your cart and you're all set.

We will send you all new hitch installation hardware. Hitch hardware should never be re-used since it is designed for being torqued down only once. I also linked the install instructions for you and an install video for a 2000 model year Tacoma, part of the same 1st generation of this vehicle.

The instructions list the tools you'll need to install the hitch.

Yes, a trailer that is nose up can cause big problems. A level trailer is ideal and worth working toward for safety. The good news is that you can get the trailer almost exactly level with switching ball mounts. This is where an adjustable ball mount…

Answer 7

The ideal height will actually have to do with how tall the coupler of the trailer is from the ground. The Draw-Tite #76020 will sit at 13 1/2 inches from the ground to the top of the hitch when installed on a 2016 Mazda CX-9. From what I could find…

You will have to go with a sliding hitch to allow the trailer to make tight turns. For a trailer 8 feet wide the only bed length that's going to allow 90 degree turns without a slider is a stationary hitch. That being said you have two options.…
