Best 2009 Toyota Camry Hitch Options- Video
Today in our 2009 Toyota Camry we'll be looking at our best hitch options. All right we have two hitches here today. On the top we have a Draw-Tite Class 2 part number 36416 and on the bottom we have a Curt Class 2 part number C12343. Now as you may notice, our hitches are very different here today. They attach in completely different manners. The only real similarity that both these hitches have is that they're both Class 2's. Now our Draw-Tite hitch here in my personal opinion I believe this is the easiest hitch to install. However, it does require some drilling. more

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2009 Toyota Camry- Video
Today we are going to be installing Draw-Tite hitch part number 36416 on a 2009 Toyota Camry. This hitch installation will also apply for Hidden Hitch part number 90152. OK, the first thing we want to do is to open up the trunk. And we need to remove our spare tire, because we will be drilling some holes through the spare tire well. As you can see here on the passengers side, we are going to need to actually lower the exhaust. You want to go ahead and use a strap or something to hold the exhaust up, because once you remove the final hanger, it will considerably. We are also going to go to the forward side of the exhaust. We need to remove the exhaust off the rubber hangers here, and here as well. You can see we have a reinforcing bracket that we are going to need to remove. And with the exhaust lowered and the brackets removed, we can go ahead and point out the mounting location for the trailer hitch. We have got two weld nuts here in this bumper flange that we are going to go ahead and use as two of the attaching points on each side. Once we get the hitch mounted into these weld nuts, there are two tabs that are going to be going into the spare tire well - which, we are are going to use the hitch as a template and drill holes through there. Then next, we want to go ahead and remove the two fascia clips here at the bottom of the bumper. When we mount the hitch, it will allow the cross tube to go up and behind the bumper. more

Trailer Hitch Installation - 2009 Toyota Camry C12343- Video
Today we are going to be installing Curt hitch part number 12343 on a 2009 Toyota Camry. We are underneath the vehicle now, and I am going to go ahead and point out the mounting location for the trailer hitch before we get started. As you can see here on the passengers side, we have got the main exhaust. There are three bolts here at the bottom of the frame holding the exhaust bracket on. We are going to to need to remove those, and the hitch is actually going to go up in that same mounting location, using those same three holes. It is also going to use the weld nut here on the vertical flange here, nearest the bumper. You can see we have a reinforcing bracket that we are going to need to remove there are three bolts to take that off. The attaching points, again, on the drivers side, we are going to be using this same vertical flange. We are going to use this existing weld nut, and this one as well. This one you can see is covered by tape, so we are going to need to remove that first. And then this tab on the outboard side of the frame as well. And again, I am just cutting out the sticker to expose the weld nut and the frame. Some of these exposed weld nuts might have a considerable amount of corrosion in them. If that is the case, you want to go ahead and spray them down with some sort of lubricant, and maybe get a wire brush in there to clean them out really well before you get started. more
