Question:

I have a 2014 Toyota Tacoma 4x4. Which is the recommended front hitch receiver, #65070 or #31313?

Helpful Expert Reply:

Both the Curt Front Hitch # 31313 and the Draw-Tite Front Hitch # 65070 are confirmed to fit your 2014 Tacoma 4x4 but I definitely recommend the Draw-Tite for its higher 500-lb vertical load weight rating and because it allows re-installation of the skid shield which is not possible with the Curt.

If you're intending to use a hitch-mount snow plow like the Detail K2 Avalanche # K2AVAL8219 or a hitch cargo carrier like # 63153 or any other potentially heavy item you might want to consider installing front axle jounce springs to help stiffen the truck's suspension. Suitable kits for the non-PreRunner 4x4 are shown on the linked page; these include Timbren rubber jounce spring kit # TTOFTUN4 and SuperSprings coil helper spring # CSS-1094F.
