Question:
Do you sell any front hitch which does require the removal of the factory skid plate for a 2006 Tundra? Does such a front hitch exist?

Expert Reply:
The Draw-Tite front mount hitch # 65031 requires removing the front skid plate for installation. See instructions and video links I have linked for this hitch.
On front mount hitch # 31180 you should not have to remove the skid plate. The 2001 model we installed it on did not require removing the skid plate and the installation instructions make no reference to removing it. I have linked the instructions and a video showing a typical installation of this hitch as well.
