Question:

Hi, Id like to put a trailer hitch onto my 2001 Toyota Tacoma 4X4. Id also like to outfit it with a standard non-breaking four-pin harness. Can you help me out? Thanks,

We have just what you need to install a trailer hitch and 4-way on your 2001 Toyota Tacoma. For the hitch you would need the # 13013 which is a confirmed fit. I attached an install video for this as well.

Then for a 4-way you would need the part # 118379.

If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
