Most Popular 350 Lbs Vert Load for 2008 Toyota Tacoma

My front hitch for my 2008 Tacoma got to me within 3 days very fast service. I installed it in 30 minutes and was able to put the front skid plate back on without doing any other changes to it. Very good product. I will be using it to put my rod rack on front of truck to use it at the outer banks of North Carolina for surf fishing this coming fall. Thanks for a very good hitch.

I got it faster than expected it appears it will bolt right up at this time the service has been Excellent, its to cold to install at this time its snowing

Dealing with etrailer.com was definitely easy. They very much so appreciate any and all business. Shipping was pretty quick and they kept me informed on my order status all the way through as well with follow up to make sure everything was satisfactory. I have a 2019 TRD Pro Tacoma, I opted to just replace my skid plate with a lighter one given the slight addition weight of the hitch. On top of the fact I didn’t want to have to cut such a pricey factory part. Everything installed easily and while I’ve never had much reason to use fish wires I can tell you in this situation it’s a lifesaver. If I recall some people had issues fitting a ratchet to the top nuts. I used my stubby bolt through ratchet set and worked pretty flawlessly. Got to say over all I have zero complaints, some people mentioned the loss of ground clearance and/or approach angle but it’s really not that intrusive. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking to make their Tacoma a little more versatile. My main objective was to be able to use my Surf Mate hitch rod/cooler set up without it getting in the way of the tailgate. Everything works great!

Installed a Curt 31075 Front Hitch on a 2019 Toyota Tacoma TRD Pro. Took about 2 hours since the skid plate needed to be removed and cut. I'm a little concerned about how deep under the bumper the receiver pin is. My purpose for installing is to use my SnowSport Plow. The interceptor for the plow is going to be close to the front license plate. The Pro right side hook had to be removed permanently but I did invert it and reinstall it just to fill the bolt holes it came from. 2 inches from the front of the Pro skid plate needed to be cut off. I split a commercial grade garden hose and covered the sharp cut edge. A receiver hitch plug was cut and inserted in the back (in photos). Thanks Curt, etrailer, Carol and Conner from etrailer.com. Hope the pictures help someone considering a front hitch on their TRD pro.

Excellent website. Easy easy to find what you need for your truck year. Mine was a 2001 Tacoma. Had 6 bolt holes that were to line up perfectly but only 4 of mine did. They landed exactly where my original tow hooks were. The instructions that came with my front mount 2" reciever even showed the torque amounts. Quality quality material, welds and bolts. Took me about 20 minutes to do the job. Floor Jack put it right where I needed it. I did have to cut a little plastic valance tab to line everything up. I have an original NC frame. No rust here. No way to ream out a 9/16" hole to make the last two bolts line up. When I was done with the install I jacked up the whole front of my truck off the ground from the front reciever. Worked perfect. Strong. Very happy. Now to talk the wife into a "Badlands" winch. Hahahah

Ordered the front-trailer hitch receiver for my 2003 Toyota Tacoma, and it arrived in 2 days! My son and I wasnable to install it in 20 minutes. It came with the bolts, washers and nuts needed. Matched up perfectly as if it was a factory add-on.

We live just south of Buffalo and Put this on our '11 Honda Ridgeline with a snowsport plow and a week later it snowed, and snowed and snowed... 5 feet in 24 hours and it's still snowing.... It's not good.... It's AWESOME! Not one driveway or even our street is clear... Except ours. It was easy to put together , easy to install and works exactly like it's advertised! It's November and it paid for itself already. Communication with etrailer was exceptional. We could not be happier with the whole setup.

Needed a front hitch for a 2006 Ridgeline Honda truck. I found it on etrailer.com and a better price for same hitch on another online store. As I talked with the customer service agent, I was also offered a discount which was quite a surprise. Shipping was very fast. Had it installed on my truck so I could attach a mounting hitch and snow blade. I am extremely happy with this hitch and etrailer.com.

Have used it a few times last fall to carry a cooler and fishing rod cart on the beach. So far have not had to use as a recovery to get pulled out of sand or pull another vehicle with the tow strap loop attachment that I bought as an additional accessory. The top mount on the bumper was ideal since gives more clearance than below bumper mount when in the sand. Keeps the cart up high. The paint on the hitch is very nice.

The item was packaged poorly causing me to have to touch up prior to installation. Large box with no stuffing causing the item to rattle around. Probably got scratched on staples in the center of the box that served no purpose. The installation instruction were unclear and contained errors. There we multiple washers and you had to guess as to where to use them. Instructions showed bolts installed where there on holes

Fits perfect and works just as I needed it to. I use it for my SnowSport plow set-up on a 2022 Gladiator Sport Max Tow. I’ve been using front receivers for this same plow for the last 24 years. It’s been used on 5 different trucks and this front receiver mount plow is the BEST. *** When installing on a Gladiator(possibly the Wrangler as well), the front plastic trim below the bumper needs to be cut for receiver clearance. I wanted a tight and “factory looking” install, so I took my time with a vibrating cutter and very sharp utility knife. After trying to put it back in place, the hole is not just square, it’s shaped more like. “T”. I suggest you make small adjustments/cuts as you go forward. It may take several times fitting and cutting to get it right and tight, but in the end it does look like it came that way from JEEP. On the Max Tow package, there is also a metal skid plate that does not get reinstalled. Unfortunately that piece is where the back of the plastic fascia mounts. I ended up securing it with some long heavy-duty zip-ties and it’s worked well for a year now. Just an FYI for those installing the same receiver on their same vehicle.

Product shipped and received on time. I'm very happy with the packaging. Hardware was included with instructions to install the hitches I purchased.

A good install! A bit of trimming for my application , but the bolt holes lined up perfectly. This front hitch was not specifically for a Lexus GX 460 but I decided to try it. There is a small area of lower bumper plastic that had to be trimmed. The hitch was pushing up against it before it was high enough to be in place. Upon trimming that area, it went in perfectly. If trimming the lower plastic is not for you, probably best to pass. However for my use, it works well. It is a stout piece, very strong. I added a pic with a red line to show where the trim needs to be.

Installed on my 2012 Lexus GX460. Perfect fit once I cut the center section of the lower plastic area for it to fit. Also had to trim the bottom splash guard and bend in the L brackets that hold it on. Took me about 2 hours. Very happy with the outcome. Now can mount snow blade for the driveway clearing…or any other hitch items.

product fit fine, install was about 30 minutes...maybe a bit less. Only needed two sockets, extension, ratchet and torque wrench. Shipping was quick. Only issue I had: product was not listed as fitting a two door Jimmy/Blazer. Contacted e-trailer and they said it would not work. Called Curts and they confirmed that it WOULD work. Also, since I have both a 2 and 4 door, I could not find any differences in the vehicles. Other than that, it was a fine transaction.

This is the 5th trailer hitch that I have ordered from etrailer.com. They have all worked great. On Monday I called and spoke with Amanda about a front hitch for my S10. I received it Tuesday afternoon. I had it installed within about 30 minutes, though I could have done it in about 10 using an impact driver. It went on perfectly and works great. It is a strange thing to "back" my trailer up with it in front of me. I am not sure how it would work with a very large or enclosed trailer (mine is not.) It works great and looks beautiful on the front of my truck. Thanks again etrailer for a great hitch.
