For your 2006 Toyota Tundra, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13180. This is a square tube design with a black powder coat finish over a protective base coat for superior rust resistance. This is a no drill installation.

For your wiring, I recommend the 4 Pole Harness and Hardwire Kit - Includes Tester # C59496. This will give you a 4 way flat connection. Then you will need to get the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brakes # ETBC7. This will give you all the wiring, connections, and circuit breakers you need to install a brake controller so you can tow a trailer with brakes.

For a price point brake controller, the Tekonsha Voyager # 39510 along with # 20127 harness will be a good fit. It will allow your trailer brakes to function with the same intensity and at the same time as you hit the brake pedal in your Tundra. It has a manual override that will allow you to apply the trailer brakes manually without hitting the brakes in your truck or with greater intesity.

For a ball mount, I recommend the Curt Channel Style Adjustable Ball Mount # C45900. This will give you adjustability to tow level as well as the 2 ball options. For a hitch pin, I recommend getting the locking pin # C23519 to secure your investment.

For a hitch with more visible safety chain connections, I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75105. This will be a more than adequate hitch for towing your car trailer. Let me know if you need anything else.

That's a very good question, we tend to be extra cautious and say to use 10 gauge wire because that would be more than enough. When you get into longer trailers that will end up using a lot of wire the heavier gauge wire becomes more necessary.…
