Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer with 2009 Toyota Venza
Question:
I have a jet ski trailer converted to kayak trailer. What would I need as far as a trailer hitch for my Venza?

Expert Reply:
First you would need a hitch on your 2009 Toyota Venza. For that the most popular option is the Curt hitch part # 13356. This is a Class III hitch with a 2 inch opening that would work well for you. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
For trailer wiring you would then want the part # 118482 which is a custom fit for your vehicle.
Since 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.
