Mounting 4-Way Extension on Factory Hitch of 2021 Toyota 4Runner

Published 03/28/2021

Question:

I think the mounting bracket and extension will work. Do you have a shorter extension loop? 48 is too long, but 30 or 32 range would work. Thanks

Thanks so much for the photos, and there may be an option for your 2021 Toyota 4Runner which will allow you to mount the 48" Long 4-Pole Loop with Cover # HM47115.

I can't quite tell if the section the hitch is attached to has an opening above it, but if so, you could mount brackets just to the left of the hitch with the No-Drill Mount # 18140 and Mounting Bracket 4-Pole Flat # 18144.

If there is not an opening that allows you to attach the No-Drill Mount, the only option I can see would be to drill small holes to attach the Mounting Bracket 4-Pole Flat # 18144.

There is a shorter option than the 48 inch 4-Pole Loop with Cover # HM47115, though not 30 to 32 inches. The next closest in size is 24 inches, and like the 48 inch option, it is also made by Hopkins: - Hopkins Endurance Easy-Pull 4-Flat Extension # HM47004 I have added a link below to a video review for you to check out as well if you'd like to take a look.
