Size Of Front Hitch Receiver Opening For 2011 Toyota Tundra
Question:
Is there a reason it only comes in 2inch? My bike rack I want to use it for is 3inch. Does it come in 3 inch? Thanks

Expert Reply:
The front hitch that is confirmed as a fit for your 2011 Toyota Tundra is the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # 65080. This hitch does have a 2 inch receiver opening and is not available in a 3 inch version. This hitch has an easy bolt-on installation and requires no welding or drilling. If you have the front skid plate on your Tundra, it may have to be removed to install this hitch.
Typically, the shanks of any bike carriers we offer fit either 1-1/4 inch or 2 inch. I am not aware of any carriers that require a 3 inch receiver opening.
Another front hitch we offer is the Curt Front Hitch, part # 31198. According to the installation instructions, this hitch does not require the removal of the skid plate when installing.
Caution should be exercised when installing carriers or cargo to a front hitch as it can cause safety issues by blocking the radiator and headlights, and possibly obstruct the driver's view.
