Will Curt Front Mount Hitch Fit 2010 Toyota Tacoma With ARB Bumper

Question:

My 2010 Tacoma has an ARB bumper and a winch. Will this hitch fit if the skid plate is removed?

Without having the vehicle with the bumper installed to check, and with no instructions available for your ARB bumper, it is not something I can confirm. Based on the brackets I can see on the ARB it looks like the bumper and the Curt # 31313 would interfere with each other. The ARB bumper does appear to sit higher so I don't think clearance wouldn't be an issue.

What you can do is compare the instructions attached below to your vehicle to see if you would be able to install it using the holes in the frame and bumper beam. If the bumper uses the same holes you won't be able to do it. Also, the skid plate would definitely have to be removed. If you find it isn't possible to install this hitch you could still go with a universal option like the # 15902. This is a weld-on application so you would need to take it to a certified welder for installation.
