CURT 13087 Class 3 Trailer Hitch, 2-Inch Receiver, Square Tube Frame, Fits Select Toyota 4Runner

My 1996 Toyota 4Runner came with no accessories at all. Nada. No wiring for a trailer, no receiver, no bug deflectors, no roof bars, you get it. So I started just doing things myself. I bought a wiring harness and tapped it in like it said and sure enough I can run a 4 pin trailer no problem now. Next on the list was the receiver, first one I found said it fit so I bought it at 4 in the morning here in Alaska, it came all the way here but Alas it did not fit. Wrong version it was made for new Toyotas. Company said they would not mind me returning it to them and Amazon said I would be reimbursed shipping to return it, but the cheapest shipping option out of Alaska was more than the receiver itself. I felt morally wrong completely screwing the company over my mistaken order, I know some will think that is really daft to just eat a hundred and fifty bucks, but I wanted to own up to my mistake. Anyway I ordered the correct one and stored the other for whatever purpose, no one would buy it on craigslist. The correct one installed so easy it was childs play, 4 big bolts I believe and she was mounted up tight as could be. I have used the rings to hook tow hooks and pull out cars, drag logs, pull other random junk, you get it. This beast is strong.

Exact fit for 99 4runner. Heavy duty and very easy to install

Fits an 02 4Runner perfect. Had more trouble getting the old one off. All the wholes lined up. Did the job myself with jack stands in about 20 min. Sticks out a little further than old hitch but looks good. Great price and delivery time.

Overall, this hitch is excellent. Perfect fit with my hitches/accessories. I purchased it to be able to use a hitch-mount bike rack on my wife's car, when we use that vehicle instead of mine. It works flawlessly for this application. I have no reason to believe that it would not also shine in the lightweight trailer department (<5,000 lbs), as the bolts included are very robust. My wife's car is not wired for towing, so I've not tested it there.My main complaint is that the new bolts were extremely difficult to get threaded primarily due to the positioning of the weldment plates included - they were almost far enough out of alignment that they would not thread at all. This is the reason for less than a 5-star rating. Bear in mind also, that holding those plates in place while threading the bolts may require an extra set of hands.

1996 4runner sr5. The only hard part was getting the old rusted tow ring bolts broken loose. Once that was done I was able to install it on my own in about 10 minutes. Most importantly all the holes lined up. The only weird part is there are 4 holes on the frame and you would assume you use those holes. They aren't all used. The rear end of the bracket you slip in the frame actually hangs off the end of the frame. Visually the directions were not that clear. It is pretty obvious after installation that it is correct because of where the hitch rolls around the spare tire under mount. Took me about 2 minutes to figure it out. Overall totally works exactly as planned.

Fit perfectly, easy to install, Hitch and harness for the lights. Installed all in an hour and a half.Saved $$$$. Watch the youtube videos!!

I was amazed at how well built and easy to install this hitch was. I thought I had to drill into the frame of the car like previous hitches I have used but this one bolts on directly to my existing 2000 Toyota 4Runner frame bolts. Had the whole thing installed in less than 15 minutes. Solid construction as well.
