Does Front Hitch Fit 2022 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off Road With Skid Plate

Published 10/11/2022

Question:

I am interested in the curt front hitch for my 2022 4Runner off road with the factory trd skid plate. There seem to be conflicting answers from the experts. Can this front hitch be mounted without interfering with front skid plate?

Fantastic photos thanks so much, and the short answer is it is very, very likely the skid plate on your 2022 Toyota 4Runner TRD Off Road will interfere with the Curt Front Mount Trailer Hitch Receiver # C31076.

This model of 4Runner has a different skid plate than most 4Runner's, and the issue is how far it sticks out relative to where the hitch sits. So while I don't know this 100 percent as we have not done this install, an educated guess is the skid plate will have to be cut or removed on your 4Runner to install the # C31076.
