Recommended Parts Needed To Tow a Trailer with a 2013 Toyota Tacoma
Question:
Hello, Id like to install a trailer hitch on my 2013 Toyota Tacoma Base Model. I really like Item # e98850 but would like to know what else Id need to purchase to complete the towing package. I only plan on using it to tow a small sailboat 150lbs. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Respectfully,

The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98850 is a great made in USA option for a 2013 Toyota Tacoma. It features a bolt-on install and it has a hidden design. In order to complete the towing setup you'll also need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118496 which is plug and play along with a ball mount/hitch ball for which I recommend the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ball Mount part # C45900.
This would give you a complete setup and ready to tow.
