Trailer Wiring Harness Installation - 2002 Toyota Tacoma Video

A 4-Way trailer connector has the basic lighting functions only; running lights, left turn signal and brake lights, right turn signal and brake lights, and ground. A 7-Way has these functions and a 12 volt circuit, a circuit for electric trailer…

Between the Draw Tite #75236 and the Curt #13323 there isn't a significant difference in ground clearance. They both fit right up to the bottom of the rear bumper. Overall I would go with the Curt though. We have found that typically the…

Normally a bumper is rated at about 3500 lbs towing capacity. It is usually stamped somewhere on the bumper or possibly on a sticker. A frame mounted hitch is going to have more capacity for towing due to how it is installed. Also, most trailers will…

You will still be able to use the trailer with the 4-Way after installing the 4 to 5-Way adapter, #20036. First, you could just remove the adapter if you wanted to and then plug in the 4-Way like normal while stowing the adapter in the truck. The…

We do have a solution for you, however, you will not be able to power reverse lights on a trailer with a 4-pin trailer connector. The reverse lights on a trailer must receive power from the reverse lights on the tow vehicle. To do this, you will want…

The difference between the Class II and Class III hitches has to do with their Gross Trailer Weight (GTW), their Tongue Weight (TW), and their Hitch Receiver Size. Class II trailer hitch receivers have a 1-1/4 inch receiver and can be rated up to…

Yes, the Curt hitch part #13013 that you referenced does fit a 1999 Toyota Tacoma 4WD like you have. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

When we installed a brake controller in a very similar Toyota Tacoma as your (see attached install video), we found that the correct wire to use for the stoplight switch was dark green wire with a white stripe. You should still test this wire for…

We have two options for front mount hitches specifically designed for your 2003 Toyota Tacoma and neither of them state that the skid plate will have to be removed for installation. First is the Curt Hitch, #C31013. This hitch mounts to the bottom of…
