Expert Reply:
Since you're willing to remove your 2008 Toyota Tundra's factory hitch, I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e66KR. This is a class V hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a massive 16,000 lbs towing capacity, which is the closest capacity hitch to your 8,500 lbs boat trailer that doesn't require a weight distribution hitch.
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.
