Expert Answers about Toyota Pickup


  • Slide-In Camper Tie-Down Kit to Fit a 1990 Toyota Pickup
  • Hey Patrick, thanks for reaching out! In order to get tie-downs that fit your 1990 Toyota Pickup you'll need to go with more of a universal kit like the Brophy Slide In Camper Tie-Downs # HSWB as there aren't any custom-fit options that fit your vehicle. I'm attaching the dimensions for these tie-downs for you to check out and see if they'll fit your truck or not. Do you already have turnbuckles or a way to anchor your slide-in camper to a tie-down kit?

  • Function of Center Pin on a 7-Way Trailer Connector
  • The center pin on the 7 way connector can be used for many different purposes, although it is typically used to carry the signal from the reverse lights on the vehicle to the trailer. If the trailer does not have reverse lights or a reverse lockout for hydraulic surge activated trailer brakes, this pin can be used for any purpose such as providing an additional 12 volt circuit for any accessories on the trailer. The dedicated 12 volt accessory circuit, # 4 in the 1 O'clock position on...

These will engage on an as-needed basis when your OEM suspension needs help, so if your suspension needs help when you're parked, these will help. Are you done with trying to upkeep air bags?

  • Troubleshooting Wiring on a 1990 Toyota Pickup While Installing Curt # C55379 Harness
  • I have some suggestions to help troubleshoot your wiring issue with your 1990 Toyota Pickup and the Curt Harness # C55379. Make sure your truck is running when you are testing the trailer lights, not just having the truck in the accessory mode. By having your truck running your trailer will be receiving maximum voltage because the alternator will be running. Check your trailer connector with a circuit tester such as # PTW2993 to verify that you are receiving voltage on each pin. If you...

  • Dexter Disc Brake Kit Fit for a 2008 Road Runner 1500 Triple 7K Axle Boat Trailer
  • Hey Cody, thanks for reaching out and providing all of that great info! The Dexter Disc Brake Kit # K71-694-695-12 will most definitely fit your setup, but we will need to upgrade your actuator to one with a 1,600-psi rating to accommodate the disc brakes. I recommend the Hydrastar # HS381-8067 because it's a marine application and vented which makes it perfect for a boat trailer. Drum brakes don't require as much pressure as disc brakes which is why the new actuator is needed. Was there...

  • Will Hellwig EZ-1000 Helper Springs Fit 4X4 1991 Toyota Pickup
  • Hey Joseph! The kit you were looking at is not a fit for your 1991 Toyota Pickup 4X4. It looks like you decided on the Hellwig Load Pro 15 Load Leveler Helper Springs # HE79VR which are designed for 4WD models so you should be all set. These will help keep you level and reduce sway and body roll as well. What are you towing or hauling with the Toyota?

  • 4-Way Recommendation for 1981 Toyota Truck
  • Hey Gary, yeah a universal 4-way kit like the Curt # C59236 would be what you want to add a 4-way for your 1981 Toyota Truck. Due to the age of your truck there isn't a plug and play option that fits. What are you planning on towing?

  • Compatibility of LED Turn Signal on 1994 Toyota SR5 Pickup
  • The 1141/1156 LED Bulb - Single Contact Bayonet - Directional - 19 Diode - 145 Lumens - Daylight White # DG52533VP will work to replace your current 1156 incandescent bulbs. The manufacturer does not test on every vehicle, so I can't tell you if you will need the resistor or not. You will only need to add a load resistor like if you get the light out error or the turn signal blinking at double speeds to indicate a bulb out. A load resistor will solve that issue if it occurs, if it does...

  • Will the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit for a 1987 Toyota Pickup Fit the Rear Wheel Version
  • Hey Don, I actually spoke with Blue Ox and they said that the Blue Ox Base Plate Kit # BX3715 is not going to work with your 1987 Toyota Pickup with rear wheel drive. They said this base plate only works with the 4WD because that is the only one that is flat towable. If there is something else I can do for you, please feel free to drop a comment and let me know!

  • IS There a 4-Way Trailer Wiring Kit for a 1990 Toyota Hilux Diesel Import from Japan
  • Hey Albert! While we don't have any custom wiring kits for your 1990 Toyota Hilux diesel import, we might still have some universal-type options that will work. The Curt 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector # C56496 is a splice-in wiring kit that's more of a standard, but if you're wanting to avoid cutting into your wiring you'll want to go with the ZCI Kit # 119251 which acts the same way, but just clamps around your wiring so you don't have to cut anything. With these kits you just need to...

  • Troubleshooting Trailer with Non-Functioning Turn Signal Lights Behind a 1992 Toyota Pickup
  • This is the right harness for your 1992 Toyota Pickup. It sounds like you might be having a ground issue. Check the ground wire from the harness. Make sure it has direct metal to metal contact with the frame or body. Rust, corrosion and paint can insulate an electrical connection. Check the grounds for the tail lights on the trailer, make sure they have good metal to metal contact. Finally, check the the trailer ground wires, make sure again, that they have good metal-to-metal contact. You...

  • Why Won't the Air Lift Ride Control Air Helper Springs Work on 1984 Toyota with Extended Cab?
  • Hello George, The Airlift 59502 Ride Control Air Bag Suspension Kit is specifically designed to fit certain trucks based on their frame design, cab type, and bed length. If a product like the # AL59502 "does not work" with an extended cab model, it's usually for a few reasons: -Frame Differences: Extended cab trucks often have different frame dimensions (length, crossmember location, or frame rail width) compared to regular cab or crew cab versions. The air bag brackets are designed to...

  • Replacement Side Mirror for a 1994 Toyota Pickup OEM 87940-89139 and 87940-89149
  • That's a great question, Mike. Even though the original Toyota part is discontinued, you still have a solid replacement option. The CIPA Driver Side Replacement Mirror # CM17194 is designed to match that OE fit and will bolt up in place of the 87940-89139 mirror you mentioned. So you won’t need to worry about drilling new holes or trying to make something universal work, it’s built to fit your truck the way the original did. If you ever need the passenger side down the road, the matching...

  • Carrying Dirt Bikes On The Front And Back Of A 1991 Toyota Itasca Motorhome
  • Hello Patrick, thanks for reaching out. The best way to carry dirt bikes on your 1991 Toyota Itasca Motorhome is to install both a front and rear trailer hitch. There are no custom fit hitches for this vehicle, so the only way to do this will be to take a universal hitch like part # 41990-07 to a shop and have them weld/fabricate something to fit. This will be the case for both the front and rear hitch. The # 41990-07 hitch can be adjusted up to 44" wide, so if your frame is wider than...
