Whatever your task at hand -- whether it's launching that boat before daybreak, setting up your camper before the rush or getting a final load to the dump before close -- CURT class 3 trailer hitches offer the strength needed for serious towing. They make it easy to hitch up and Bring It, offering a vehicle-specific fit and the weight capacity to handle a variety of trailers. Custom class 3 hitches are the most common type of receiver hitch for pickup trucks and SUVs. Because of their weight range, they are also found on full-size cars, crossovers and minivans. Each custom-fit class 3 hitch package is made for vehicle-specific mounting. This particular kit fits certain years of the Toyota 4Runner (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 5,000 lbs. GTW and 500 lbs. TW. It is also compatible with a weight distribution hitch for level towing and a rating of 6,000 lbs. WD and 600 lbs. WDTW. CURT class 3 trailer hitches are typically used to attach and haul utility trailers, boat trailers, campers, snowmobile or ATV haulers and more (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Each class 3 hitch has a 2" receiver tube and is tested in accordance with SAE J684 for safety. To ensure that CURT class 3 receiver hitches have what it takes for serious trailering, they are designed using a hands-on approach and are constructed with rugged, high-strength steel and precise welding. We also protect our class 3 hitches in a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat and black powder coat for superior resistance to rust, chipping and UV damage.
CURT custom wiring connectors are the easiest way to outfit your vehicle with a CURT trailer wiring connection. They are built with some of the most advanced technology in the industry, and each one is custom-fitted to work with a specific make and model. Some automotive manufacturers install a special socket on the vehicle to be used for vehicle-to-trailer wiring. Although this special socket is not equipped on every vehicle, a CURT custom wiring connector -- also called a T-connector -- utilizes the socket for simple, stress-free installation. Rather than requiring you to cut, splice and solder into your vehicle's wiring system, the custom wiring connector uses a single OEM-compatible plug and instantly provides a standard, universal vehicle-to-trailer wiring connection, typically in the form a 4-way flat. All CURT custom wiring connectors are made vehicle-specific for the easiest possible installation and the best fit. This particular plug-in connector provides a 4-way flat socket and is designed to be a custom wiring option for certain years of the Toyota 4Runner, Toyota Highlander, Toyota Grand Highlander, Toyota Land Cruiser, Lexus LX470, Lexus LX570, Lexus RX300, Lexus TX350, Lexus TX500h, and Lexus TX550h+ (factory tow package required; to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary hardware to establish a solid connection. It also comes with a dust cover to keep the connector socket clean when not in use. To ensure long-lasting reliability, all CURT custom wiring connectors are thoroughly tested for optimal functionality. Stress is the last thing you should feel when towing a trailer -- whether you're hauling your RV to that favorite camping destination, your ATVs up to the hunting grounds or your fishing boat to the new hidden hotspot. At CURT, we think your towing equipment should add to the enjoyment of your experience, not detract from it.

The 01 - 02 Toyota 4Runner Curt 2", Class 3 Trailer Tow Hitch + 4-flat Wiring Kit 13087 (Part #CHW-2837) Refer to the included instructions for installation details. Basic hand tools are typically all you need.

No. The manual explicitly states "NO DRILLING REQUIRED." The hitch uses existing M12 bolt holes in the frame rails where the factory tow hooks are mounted.
The manual does not specify required tools. You will need a torque wrench to tighten fasteners to the specified values (86 lb.-ft. for M12 fasteners and 75 lb.-ft. for 1/2" fasteners). A socket set and basic hand tools are likely necessary, but the manual does not list them.
The kit includes four 1/2"-13 UNC hex head cap screws (HHCS), grade 5, 1-1/2" long (part 10-10035), and four 1/2" conical tooth washers (part 30-00149). The hitch also includes two weldnut plate weldments (CM-NP4W and CM-NP3W). Installation reuses the existing M12 bolts and tow hooks from your vehicle.
1. Remove the factory tow hooks from the vehicle frame. 2. Position the weldnut plates inside the frame rails as shown in the diagram. 3. Raise the hitch into position, align the side brackets with the existing tow hook holes, and reinstall the existing M12 bolts and tow hooks. 4. Insert a 1/2" bolt and conical tooth washer through the rearmost existing hole in the hitch and hand-tighten into the weldnut plate. 5. Insert a 1/2" bolt and conical tooth washer through the foremost existing hole in the hitch and hand-tighten into the weldnut plate. 6. Torque all M12 fasteners to 86 lb.-ft. and all 1/2" fasteners to 75 lb.-ft.
Torque all M12 fasteners to 86 lb.-ft. These are the existing factory bolts that secure the hitch to the frame rails.
Torque all 1/2" fasteners to 75 lb.-ft. These are the new bolts (part 10-10035) that attach the hitch to the weldnut plates.
Hand-tighten the 1/2" bolts in steps 4 and 5 only. Do not fully tighten them until step 6, after both bolts are in place. This allows you to align the hitch properly before final torquing.

The factory tow plug is located behind the bumper (marked as S6). On some vehicles, the tow plug may be hidden under a black box cover secured with 10 mm hex bolts. Remove these bolts to access the plug.

Insert the harness connector into the vehicle's factory harness connector (located at S6 behind the bumper). Route the 4-flat connector to the center of the vehicle and secure it in a convenient, out-of-the-way location.
