Fishwire Trouble with Curt Hitch On 2016 Toyota Tacoma

Question

Question:

Hello I bought the Curt hitch for a Gen 3 Toyota Tacoma. Ive tried following the instructions, watching videos online, and everyone seems to struggle right at the fishwire step and the video then cuts to the completed step. Do you have any other advice, or alternative hardware I could try? Thanks.

I have attached for you below an install video of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13264 on a 2016 Toyota Tacoma. The front two attachment holes require fishwiring. This is standard procedure for hitch installation but the Tacoma can be tricky because the crosstube is too shallow to pull the bolt through the space while flat on the crosstube. Therefore, you'll need to fish the bolt through the spacer while inside the crosstube which you can see preformed in the video below.
