Does Front Skid Plate have to be Removed to Install Front Mount Trailer Hitch on 2006 Toyota Tundra  

We have had a few customers come back with similar Toyota Tundras as yours who said that with some minor trimming they were able to reuse the stock skid plate and have the Curt hitch #31180 installed. I attached a picture that shows the hitch…

For a front mount hitch for your 2004 Toyota Tundra, there are 2 options, see link. Both of them are going to require drilling, trimming, and/or removal of the skid plate for the hitches to fit properly. I would go with the Draw-Tite hitch, #65031…

I spoke with my contact at Curt about Front mount hitch #31180 for the 2006 Toyota Tundra. He stated that the skid plate does not have to be removed, but there is some trimming of the plate that will need to be done in order to install the hitch. I…

Unless you drive your Tundra pretty aggressively off-road, I would not be terribly concerned about removing that skid plate. I examined the instructions for the Curt Front Mounted Receiver, and the access hole the instructions refers to is not too…

I spoke with my contact at Curt and I have some measurements on hitch #31180 for you. For the mounting holes, they are 34-3/8 inches apart on center, side to side. The width between the mounting brackets is about 31-3/8 inches. I have included a…

To install the Curt front hitch part #31180 in your 2006 Toyota Tundra will require you to drill the two holes closest to the front of the vehicle on the trailer frame. I can't recommend you skip this step otherwise the warranty of the hitch…

I may have a different kind of solution for you, but based on the tongue weight of your trailer none of the front hitches we offer for your 2010 Toyota Tundra would work. The Trailer Valet XL part #TVXL25 is a great way to move trailer's around…

Both the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch #31180 and the Draw Tite Front Hitch #31180 that you referenced would be excellent choices for your 2002 Toyota Tundra. I would probably go with the Curt hitch only because it has been reviewed more times and…

Yes, we offer replacement hardware for all of the trailer hitches we sell with the part number #RHK. You'd need to enter the part number 31180 on the product page and select Curt from the drop down menu and hit add to cart.

If your 2017 Toyota 4Runner SR5 has one of the TRD front skid plates it will need to be removed to install the Draw-Tite Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver #65074. I recommend using the WeatherTech BumpStepXL Hitch-Mounted Bumper Protector and Step…

Normally the skid plate can reinstall after the front hitch part #31313 is installed but on the TRD models the skid plate is different and can't be.

I have a solution for you, but the Draw-Tite is not a confirmed fit on the 2020 Toyota 4Runner TRD models. The good news is that the Curt #C31076 has been confirmed as a fit on the 4Runner TRD Pro models, so you can use that front hitch on your…
