Rugged, Matte Black Finish

The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability.

In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2015 Toyota Tacoma
    Hey Mark, for your 2014 Toyota Tacoma the hitch I would recommend is the etrailer part # e98850 which has great towing capacities and is mostly hidden. Then for trailer wiring the Tekonsha kit part # 118496 is the easiest to install and most reliable as well.

  • Width of etrailer Trailer Hitch for 2005 Toyota Tacoma
    I couldn't find an order with us so I'm not sure what you purchased before but etrailer hitch you're looking at, part # e98850, is custom designed to fit the Toyota Tacoma from 2005 through 2015. I'm also not sure where you're measuring exactly. This hitch is about 38 inches inside the brackets and about 35-1/4 inches center on center between the holes that mount to the bottom of your truck's frame. I've made a diagram to show where I measured, as well as a video from when we installed...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2014 Toyota Tacoma w/out a Factory Hitch
    The etrailer Hitch item # e98850 you were looking at, is custom fit so the holes will line up on your 2014 Toyota Tacoma if you do not have a factory hitch installed. This hitch does include all of the necessary mounting hardware to complete the installation. If you have the factory hitch it must be removed and the holes will not line up. All of the aftermarket hitches for the 2014 Toyota Tacoma are the same way. As far as a video goes we only have a video of the Curt item # 13323 being...

  • Will The Yakima LongArm Truck Bed Load Extender # Y01149 Fit a 2005 Toyota Tacoma Short Bed?
    The Yakima LongArm Truck Bed Load Extender # Y01149 can be used on any truck with a 2" receiver. So you will be able to use it on your 2005 Toyota Tacoma Short Bed as long as you have a 2" receiver. We do have our Receiver # e98850 if you need one.

  • Can 2013 Toyota Tacoma OEM Trailer Hitch Be Replaced with Aftermarket Trailer Hitch
    The 5,000 lb tow weight rating is definitely enough to safely tow a car trailer weighing in at 4,600 lbs total. The only time I would be nervous about the weight difference is if it was under 100 lbs in your situation. According to my research the OEM hitch on your 2013 Toyota Tacoma installs using the bumper brackets so if you remove the OEM hitch you'll need to find replacement brackets for the bumper. Once that is done you can install an aftermarket hitch and for that I recommend the...

  • Why Do The Trailer Hitch Receivers Say They Will Not Fit a 2011 Toyota Tacoma w/ Factory Receiver?
    Based on the information I could find online the bumper brackets are integrated into the factory receiver. I have also read some of the factory receivers may have been welded to either the frame or bumper components. You will need to check your assembly and possibly order the different bumper brackets for your 2011 Toyota Tacoma. Then you should be able to install our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98850. I have linked an installation video we have for this in our shop which you can...

  • Is etrailer Ball Mount Kit 989891 Matte Black Like Trailer Hitch e98850
    The etrailer Ball Mount Kit for 2" Hitches # 989891 does not have the same matte black powder coat finish as the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98850. The ball mount is a bit glossier so they aren't a perfect match but it will be pretty difficult to tell the hitch and ball mount apart unless someone is really trying to find a difference. The ball mount kit is an exceptional value because it includes a ball mount with 3/4" rise or 2" drop, a pair of hitch balls (2" and 1-7/8"), a pin...

  • Recommended Replacement Trailer Hitch Receiver For A 2008 Toyota Tacoma
    The only compatible Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver for a 2008 Toyota Tacoma is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75236, which excludes X-Runner models. If you have a regular Tacoma then you'd be fine using that hitch. If you do have an X-Runner model then I'd recommend going with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98850, which is a fit for both the X-Runner and regular models. I also prefer the matte black paint of this hitch over the high gloss of the # 75236 since...

  • Width of Trailer Hitch Receivers for 2005 Toyota Tacoma
    There are three trailer hitch receivers that are fits for a 2005 Toyota Tacoma, and according to the manufacturers, from outside-to-outside at the widest points the hitches were approximately 38-1/2 inches wide. That would be the part of the hitch that attaches to the outside of the frame rail, but as you can see from the cut out of the installation instructions, there is a flange on the inside which is about 1/2 inch from the sides. I believe this may be what you were referring to by...

  • Parts Needed to Tow Small Trailer With 2007 Toyota Tacoma
    I did a search for an owner's manual for a 2007 Toyota Tacoma, which has the capacities in it, and so long as the Tacoma has the factory towing package it can tow the nearly 3,900 lb Forest River trailer you mentioned. In order to do that you will need a number of different parts if you don't have them, starting with the hitch: - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98850 If your 2007 Tacoma does not have the factory 7-way, you will need to add wiring, which you can so with the following...

  • Recommended Hitch and Weight Distribution System for 2014 Toyota Tacoma Towing Camper
    A trailer hitch like the etrailer # e98850 is a Class III hitch (hitches are given a class based on their weight capacity and receiver size) and will attach to the frame of your 2014 Toyota Tacoma, so it will provide a secure connection to your vehicle to tow a trailer. It looks like the towing capacity on your vehicle is between 3300-lbs and 3500-lbs, so you'll want to make sure you don't exceed the towing capacity of your truck with the camper's weight. The price of the hitch isn't...

  • Correct etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2015 Toyota Tacoma
    The correct etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver for a 2015 Toyota Tacoma is indeed part # e98850 but please note, it cannot be used to replace a factory trailer hitch if equipped, it's only designed to be added to models without one.

  • Availability of Trailer Hitch With 6,500 Pound Capacity for 2010 Toyota Tacoma With Tow Package
    From what I have found, there are no hitches made for the 2010 Toyota Tacoma that will match the 6,500 lb towing capacity your truck has with the tow package. I also looked at the Toyota factory hitch, which is rated for 5,000 lbs. This is not typical, but does happen occasionally where even the factory hitch does not match the vehicle capabilities. As for aftermarket, it is hard to say. It is likely due to the necessary design for a bolt on hitch that will fit the vehicle, or a lack of...

  • Recommended Mouinting Bracket for 7 Way Connector on etrailer Hitch e98850 for 2010 Toyota Tacoma
    I've got just what you're looking for with the Mounting Bracket for 7 way Connectors # 18138 which comes with all of the screws and nuts needed to mount this bracket to your etrailer # e98850 on your 2010 Toyota Tacoma SR5. If you're looking for an option that doesn't require drilling, the Curt No-Drill Bracket for 6-Way or 7-Way Round Trailer Connector Mounting Bracket - Long # C57202 is a great choice, and will also fit on the etrailer hitch.

  • Can I Install An Aftermarket Hitch On A 2010 Toyota Tacoma With Factory Installed Hitch?
    Hello Denny, great question. It is possible to install our etrailer Class 3 Hitch # e98850 on a 2010 Toyota Tacoma with the factory installed hitch. According to my research, the factory hitch mounts using the bumper brackets. So, if you remove the factory hitch you will need to find brackets for the bumper. Once you do this you can install the etrailer Class 3 Hitch # e98850.

  • Lightweight Trailer Hitch for 2015 Toyota Tacoma
    Hey John! All of the hitches for your 2015 Tacoma weigh approximately 38 lbs so there isn't one that stands out over the others in terms of weight. Personally, I recommend the etrailer # e98850. The our hitch has a unique matte black finish so it looks sharp and does a better job hiding dirt and scratches. Keep in mind, all of the available aftermarket hitches are designed for a Tacoma that does NOT have a factory installed hitch. If you need anything else feel free to reach out in the...

    Yes, our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98850 is perfect for your 2011 Toyota Tacoma as it fits all Trim levels. I feel that our hitch having the Matte Black Finish also looks better than the other Gloss Black hitches. While you're replacing the hitch you will want to replace the Curt 7-Way RV-Style Trailer Connector - Vehicle End Item # C58155. This will ensure that any worn or damaged terminals within the connector are replaced and you don't have connection issues with your trailer....

  • Can A Trailer Hitch Be Added To The Front Of A 2010 Toyota Tacoma?
    Hello. I do have a solution for you, but the etrailer Class 3 Hitch # e98850 you mentioned is custom fit for the rear of a 2010 Toyota Tacoma and this would not bolt up to the front of the truck. There is a custom fit front hitch available for the 2010 Tacoma so this will be your best option. For that I recommend the Curt Front Mount Hitch # 31313. Just keep in mind that the front skid shield will need to be removed from your Tacoma in order to install the hitch.

  • Recommended Parts Needed To Tow a Trailer with a 2013 Toyota Tacoma
    The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98850 is a great made in USA option for a 2013 Toyota Tacoma. It features a bolt-on install and it has a hidden design. In order to complete the towing setup you'll also need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118496 which is plug and play along with a ball mount/hitch ball for which I recommend the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ball Mount part # C45900. This would give you a complete setup and ready to tow.

I added a link to that video, and also added a link to a video of the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 75236 being installed on a 2006 Toyota Tacoma for you to reference.
