Question:
My son bought a 2012 Toyota Tacoma. It has a pro series trailer hitch that is not installed. It is missing the 4 bolts with washers that hold the hitch up to the frame and the spacers between the bumper bracket and bumper. Would you sell those items?

Hey Todd, thanks for reaching out!
The Pro Series brand of hitches is no longer made, but you should be able to use the hardware for the Draw-Tite # 75236 as a substitute. Just order part # RHK and input the Draw-Tite part number and we can send out the hardware you need.
Normally we don't recommend mixing brands and hardware, but the Pro Series and Draw-Tite brand names have the same parent company so they are essentially the same hitch.
If you'd rather start from scratch and get a whole hitch and exact hardware kit then I recommend the etrailer # e98850 as the matte black coating is more hearty than the standard glossy coating on the other hitches.
What do you all plan on using the hitch for?

Hey Todd, did you decide to go with the replacement hardware kit for the hitch, or are you thinking about getting the whole new hitch with the matte black finish? I'm curious because it could help others in a similar situation.
