I reached out to Curt about removing the factory hitch on your 2011 Toyota Tundra. If you remove the factory hitch the Curt Hitch Receiver # C15398 can be installed.

However, when you remove the factory hitch you will be taking out some of the support for your rear bumper and they aren't able to confirm how secure your bumper will be after that.
