Will the Valley Class III Trailer Hitch Fit The 2009 Toyota Tacoma Pickup What is the Tow Capacity

Expert Reply:

Yes the Valley, part number V82790, will fit the 2009 Toyota Tacoma pickup except for the X-runner. This hitch has a weight carrying capacity of 5000 pounds maximum and 500 pounds tongue weight. If you have a weight distribution system on your vehicle then the capacity is 6000 pounds loaded trailer weight and 600 pounds tongue weight. Even though the hitch is rated for these capacities you are limited by the lowest rated component, whether it is the vehicle, hitch, drawbar or ball. You can find your vehicle tow rating in the owners manual.

Some items you may need with the Class III hitch are as follows,

Drawbar 2923
Pin and Clip PC3
Ball 19260, 19247 or 19287
Wiring Harness 118432
Hitch Lock 5201 or 7683
