Question:
My 2019 Tacoma has a 2-inch hitch. Which Meyer tailgate spreader models will mount cleanly - the ME86FR, ME26FR, ME98FR, or ME48FR?

Hey Ryan, great question.
All five of those Meyer tailgate spreaders # ME86FR, # ME26FR, # ME98FR, # ME48FR are designed to mount into a Class III 2" × 2" receiver rated for at least 500 lbs of tongue weight, so your Tacoma’s hitch fits the standard requirement.
That said, the Blaster 350S # ME98FR is the largest model suited for mid-size or half-ton trucks like yours. The Blaster 750RS # ME48FR is much heavier and should only be used on a 3/4-ton or larger full-size pickup, per Meyer’s installation recommendations. The Base Line models # ME86FR and # ME26FR are lighter-duty and will fit comfortably on your Tacoma.
Which kind of loads or salt volume are you planning - driveway scale or commercial use? We can help narrow it down to the right match.

I mostly just do my own driveway and a couple of neighbors’ - nothing commercial. Would the Base Line 400 be better than the 240 for that, or is it overkill for a Tacoma?
