Why Would Trailer Hitch for 2014 Toyota Tacoma Seem to Small to Fit Frame
Question:
Hi, My 2014 Tacoma double cab has a frame Outside dimension of 37.5. I recently purchased and I am returning the Curt model # 13323 which did not fit by half an inch 0.5 too small. How true is your receiver fitting to my Tacoma frame?

Expert Reply:
Most likely the Curt hitch part # 13323 that you tried to install was bent in shipping as that hitch is a fit for your vehicle and unfortunately hitches do sometimes get bent in shipping. It's very easy for them to get bent in to make them seem to small too. Normally we recommend applying controlled force to bend the hitch back as long as you don't see any signs of fatigue in the metal like creases or paint flaking you would be fine.
That being said the Draw Tite Hitch part # 75236 is also a confirmed fit for your 2014 Toyota Tacoma. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
