Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2003 Toyota 4Runner that Can Be Used with Weight Distribution
Question:
I have an 03 4Runner V6 that has a factory hitch but it doesnt mount to the frame, it has the 7pin wiring harness. Im a bit confused as to how much I can tow with it ? I am looking to upgrade to a frame hitch due to the fact that I have weight distribution set up for my camper but Ive been told that the factory hitch,not attached to the frame is not set up for weight distribution. Can you recommend a frame mount hitch ? Thanks, The first picture is looking up at current hitch, next is my set up for the trailer

The Draw Tite Class III hitch part # 75155 that you referenced is a great option for your 2003 Toyota 4Runner. It has the highest towing capacities and is rated for weight distribution like you are needing. When used with a WD system it has a towing capacity of 7,300 lbs.

Hey, while torquing down one of the bolts the head broke off. Is there a way I can get a replacement ? The bolt was the Hex Bolt M8 x 1.25 x 30 mm CL 10.9. I wish the head didnt snap off, now I have to remove the hitch to get it out.
