Question:

I'm adding a winch to the front of my 2021 TACO. What do I need to get this done? Thanks!

Expert Reply:

I recommend going with the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31075 for your 2021 Toyota Tacoma because it will be easier to install and has the same line pull rating as the Draw-Tite # 65070. The only reason I would recommend the Draw-Tite over the Curt is if you are going to be pushing that 350 lb vertical load limit, but even then you'll need to ensure that your truck has that high of a weight rating in the front. I've attached a photo of the Curt hitch installed on a Tacoma for you to check out.

If you don't already have a winch I recommend checking out the Bulldog Winch Standard Series Off-Road Winch # BDW10044 which can be connected to your front mount hitch using the Mounting Kit # BDW20155.
