Easiest To Install Front Mount Trailer Hitch On a 2018 Toyota Tacoma
Updated 04/18/2020 | Published 04/17/2020 >
Question:
Hi, Folks, I will be buying a front mount receiver for my 2018 Tacoma. It looks like my options are Draw-tite Code: 65070 or Curt Code: C31075. It will be used to maneuver a light boat trailer around my parking lot and garage. Ease of installation is probably the main consideration. Can you make a suggestion on which unit to buy? I have watched a video on installing a Draw-tite unit on a 2015 Tacomawhich I believe is slightly different from the 2018. Can you refer me to videos or documents for installing the Draw-tite and Curt models on a 2018 Tacoma? Thank you. Stay healthy and safe.

The easiest to install front mount trailer hitch for a 2018 Toyota Tacoma is the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C31075. It will take less time according to the manufacturer and there is far less hardware involved. I also like Curt more than Draw-Tite as their instructions are much easier to follow along with. I have attached these for you below but we don't have any install video for you. I also like that the Curt hitch sits up closer underneath the front bumper.
The Curt hitch will do an excellent option of helping you maneuver your boat trailer.
