Question:

Are the bolts stainless steel or hardened. One fellow said the bolts were to big for the holes in the Toyota. Was this a one time problem, if not has it been corrected? The only wiring Ill need is for the car. The boat is wired, What wiring would I order?

The bolts that are included with the CURT Class III Round Tube Trailer Hitch, item # 13256, are hardened to manufacturers specifications but are not stainless steel. The Review that said that the bolts were too big must have been an isolated incident because that is the only time I have heard of the bolts not fitting.

We do get questions about bolt size from time to time that usually are resolved by proper cleaning of the weld nuts before installation. We use the round end of a battery terminal cleaner and spray lubricant to clean the weld nuts of road grime and rust before installing hitches.

The T-One Wiring Harness for your vehicle is item # 118304, which will install behind the vehicle taillights inline with the taillight wiring.

Some items you may need to complete your towing setup are listed below.
