Recommendation to Replace Factory Trailer Hitch on a 2003 Toyota Tundra
Updated 09/30/2022 | Published 09/29/2022 >
Question:
i own a 2003 Toyota Tundra limited edition 4X4 extended cab, The rear factory tow hitch is rotted causing and bumper brackets are rotted, The stock tow hitch is very costly. Do you sell a hitch replacement that will fit my frame and rear bumper without any alterations

Expert Reply:
All of the trailer hitches we have for your 2003 Toyota Tundra mount directly to the frame and don't use the brackets that the factory hitch and bumper use. So for your application I recommend replacing your OEM bumper with the Sport bumper since it doesn't use the special brackets.
Then you can install the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13180 which mounts directly to the frame of your truck.
I know this isn't exactly what you're looking for, but it does give you a way to have a secured bumper and trailer hitch.
