The front skid plate you have on your 2018 Toyota 4Runner TRD will need to be removed in order to install a front mount trailer hitch like the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C31076. This has to do with where the hitch mounts in relation to the skid plate and the lack of space for both to attach. There will be no way to install a front mount hitch on the vehicle without either removing or modifying the skid plate.
