Do Factory Tow Hooks Get Reinstalled When Installing the Curt Font Hitch on a 2013 Toyota Tundra UL

Updated 04/27/2017 | Published 04/26/2017

Question:

I had a Curt 2 inch Front Receiver hitch installed on my 2013 Toyota Tundra Limited. The installer did not put the factory tow hooks back on. Were the product provided bolts long enough for both the Curt hitch and the tow hooks? What are the specifications/length on these bolts for attaching both? Since these are TTY, are they a common bolt that can be acquired in a common small town? Or, should they be product provided? Thank you

According to the installation instructions, the tow hooks should have been reinstalled when the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver, part # 31198, was installed on your 2013 Toyota Tundra Unlimited. I have attached a picture from the instructions that you can find on the product page for you to see. The mounting hardware is the OEM hardware that was used to hold the tow hooks prior to the hitch being installed.
