Expert Answers about Toyota


  • Do I Want Sumo Springs or Timbrens to Pair with My Weight Distribution Hitch?
  • Hello Barry, Since you already have a weight distribution (WD) hitch and are only experiencing a little rear sag, I recommend going with SumoSprings. I typically only suggest Timbrens for those who are towing heavy loads regularly, as they can create a noticeably harsh ride when the vehicle is unloaded. Given that the sag is “not much but noticeable,” the SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs Rear Axle # SS46PV (blue) should be a great fit. These are rated for 1,400 lbs, while the yellow...

  • Can The Rear Hatch Be Lowered With The CVT Timber Creek Annex RG35ZV Installed?
  • Good question! Can you close the hatch of the vehicle the CVT Timber Creek Annex # RG35ZV is attached to? Yes. However, it should be noted that the hatch is actually acting as a roof support, so some of the roof will not necessarily cave in, but it will not be supported and will be flappy (for the lack of a better way to put it). If you look at the attached picture, I circled what I mean in red. If you are wanting something that can stand alone when you need to take your car somewhere...

  • How to Determine Correct Leaf Springs For 2018 Jayco Travel Trailer
  • Hi Austin, I can help you determine the right replacement double-eye leaf springs for your 2018 Jayco trailer, though we don't have any way of knowing what specific ones you need. It's pretty easy though, as all you need to do is measure your current leaf springs from center-to-center of the spring eyes, and you also need to know the weight rating of your axle. Based on its weight, your 174BH is likely to have a 3,500 lb axle, though you'll want to double check just to be sure. Leaf springs...

  • Hitch, Weight Distribution and Brake Controller Recommendations for a 2017 Toyota Sienna XLE
  • We can get you everything you need for towing with your 2017 Toyota Sienna XLE. By plastic shield, I believe you are referring to the appearance panel underneath the Sienna, and that will have to trimmed a bit in each of the hitches available for the vehicle. A great Class III hitch would be the Curt # C13105, which is rated for weight distribution and has been given a nearly 5-star review on our site by the over 500 customers that have rated it. As for a brake controller, the wireless...

  • What Wiring do I Need to get My 2022 Toyota Highlander Ready for Redarc Tow-Pro Brake Controller?
  • Hello Dan, We can most definitely get you set up to use your Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty brake controller in your 2022 Toyota Highlander. Since you were looking at the # ETBC7, I’m assuming your Highlander does not have the factory tow package. To equip your vehicle for a brake controller, you’ll first need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # TK99FR. This is fairly simple to install, with the most challenging part being the removal of some paneling to access...

  • Ladder Rack Options For 2024 Toyota Tacoma With 5' Bed
  • Hey Richard, congrats on the new truck! It is a bummer that your old TracRac cannot be used on your new truck, but we do have some other good options for you. If you liked your TracRac, we have the Thule TracRac TracONE # TH27000XT which will fit the 2024 Tacoma with the 5' bed. This will fit as long as you do NOT have the OEM utility track system on the bed rail. If the track is present it will need to be removed in order to install the ladder rack. Thule is a high-end brand and their...

  • Availability Of Trailer Wiring Harness For A 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander
  • As far as wiring for the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander, we do have the Curt # C59236 available which is more of a universal hardwire harness. Unfortunately there are not any plug-and-play options that have been confirmed to fit as of yet (October 4, 2023). I would like to think that they would use a similar plug between the Highlander and Grand Highlander models, but it is too soon to say. We have not seen one come thru our shop yet. As soon as we can get our hands on one, or the folks...

  • Coil SumoSprings for 2023 Toyota Sienna AWD
  • The # CSS-1168R and # CSS-1195F are only confirmed to fit the FWD models but that doesn't mean there aren't Coil SumoSprings for your 2023 Sienna AWD. To find the right size you will need to measure the gap between in the middle of the coil. Take the measurement with the vehicle as it sits. You do not need to raise it. Ensure that each side of the vehicle is within 1/4" (0.25") measurement of the other. If you only want them in the rear you don't have to measure the front. Once you have...

  • Trailer Hitch for a 2024 Toyota Rav4 that Does Not require Cutting into the Bumper
  • Hi Stephanie! Great question and you’re totally right to ask, because most hitches for the 2024 RAV4 do require a bit of bumper trimming. That includes the Oris Detachable Hitch #TS66VR, since it uses a hidden design that needs a hole cut in the fascia for the receiver to come through. If you’d rather skip the cutting, I’d recommend going with the Curt Class 3 Hitch #C77MJ. It bolts right to the frame and sits neatly under the bumper no trimming required. It's not completely concealed...

  • Front Hitch Fitment on a 2025 Toyota Tacoma
  • Hey Brian, thanks for reaching out! The Curt Front Hitch Receiver # C31075 fits a 2016 - 2023 Toyota Tacoma. Since you have the 2025 model, you'll need the Curt # C55RJ instead, which is still in the preorder stage and hasn't come out yet officially. The only other way around this is to have a shop fabricate a front hitch for your Tacoma. What do you plan on using the front hitch for?

  • Best Way to Prevent Sagging Suspension When Towing a Trailer
  • For sag from towing a trailer the best recommendation I can make is actually a weight distribution system. Suspension enhancement will help level your truck while towing. But the advantage to a weight distribution system is that it levels the vehicle by distributing the tongue weight of the trailer up to the front axle of the vehicle as well. This will help greatly with handling and braking, especially in an emergency situation. The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is...

  • Will The K-Source Mirrors KS48NQ Obstruct 360 Camera On 2022 Toyota Tundra?
  • Hello Allan, thanks for reaching out. The K-Source Snap & Zap Custom Towing Mirrors # KS48NQ will not obstruct the 360 degree camera on your 2022 Toyota Tundra. The towing mirror does not actually cover the part of the mirror that has the camera. It is kind of hard to see but I edited a picture below to help show you.

  • When Will the Curt Trailer Hitch for My 2024 Toyota Tacoma be Released?
  • Hello Tom, I am very sorry that the # C22ZV has not been released at this time. Toyota made some pretty drastic changes from the 2023 Tacoma to the 2024. Looks like in 2023 they decided to build the Sequoia on the same frame as the Tundra, well I guess they liked that idea so much that in 2024 they decided to do the same for the Tacoma. Curt does not have a set date on when it will be released which is why we have to keep pushing the date back. I really wish I had a better answer for you...

  • How to Flat-Tow a 2012 - 2014 Honda CR-V with All Four Wheels Down
  • In order to flat-tow a 2012 - 2014 Honda CR-V with all four wheels on the ground behind a motorhome you are going to need a tow bar, base plate kit, safety cables, tail light wiring harness, supplemental braking system, and possibly a high-low adapter. There may also be a few other smaller components that are needed depending on the options the vehicle is equipped with. For a tow bar, I recommend the Roadmaster Nighthawk All Terrain Tow Bar part # RM-676. The Nighthawk is one of the best...

  • Are Spacers Needed Air Lift Air Bags For 2024 Toyota Tundra With Factory Lift
  • Hey Chad, Good question and you will need spacers for your 2024 Toyota Tundra with the factory lift when installing the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers # AL24JQ. The rear lift on the Tundra is 2 inches (it is 3 inches in the front - it's common for the front to be slightly more on lift kits), so what you will use is the Air Lift Universal Air Spring Spacers - 2" Lift # AL52420. I also wanted to mention I do highly recommend considering...
