Will The Curt Front Hitch Work With Motorcycle On 2012 Toyota Tundra

Question

Question:

I would like to purchase the Curt 31198 front hitch receiver to put my dual sport KLX 250 300lbs on the front hitch. Will I be legal to drive with the motorcycle on the front of my 2012 Toyota Tundra while towing a 3,000lb pop up camper in the rear?

Helpful Expert Reply:

The Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 31198 which is a bolt-on fit for a 2012 Toyota Tundra will work well for a motorcycle and carrier. The trailer hitch has a 500 lb vertical load rating so as long as the weight of the motorcycle and carrier does not exceed this you will be good to go. The etrailer Motorcycle Carrier w/ Ramp for 2" Hitch part # e98873 which only weighs 58 lbs is what I recommend you use if you don't already have an option in mind.

In regards to legality, I am not a legal authority but I can't think of any laws that the above setup goes against. The only thing I would be careful of is the headlight visibility while driving at night.

Initially what you need to do is clean out all of the grease in your hub, on/in the bearings, and on the spindle. Once that is done you simply swap out the grease seal for the oil seal included in the Kodiak XL ProLube Kit #XLPROLUBE2440KIT (which…

From what I could find, the skid plate on your 2020 Tundra will need to be removed to create a four inch hole for oil filter access, and then either reattached or it may be left off. I included a picture from the instructions that shows where to cut…

I do have an option for you though there aren't custom fit hitches for box trucks. The frame is not really the issue but rather the body the up-fitter adds on which could hang down below the frame where the hitch mounts or actually use the holes…

Yes, it will work. You'll just need to cut the Lance 6-pin connector out and rewire it into the etrailer Trailer Wiring 7-Way Upgrade Kit w/ Junction Box and RV Style Connector item #e99011. Here are the individual functions of that Lance 6-pin:…
