Expert Reply:
Since you're willing to remove your 2005 Tundra's factory hitch, I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e87KR. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 5,000 lbs towing capacity that can be increased to 7,500 lbs when used with a weight distribution system.
I recommend spraying the bolts holding your current hitch on with WD-40 for a few days prior to trying to remove them. See if you can get them loosened then spray up into the threads. Old bolts like that have a tendency to break off.
