Yes, Curt part number 13024 is designed for 1987–1991 Toyota 4Runner, both 2WD and 4WD models. The installation procedure varies slightly between 1987–1989 and 1990–1991 vehicles, particularly regarding fender washer placement and exhaust bracket repositioning.
The manual notes that the spare tire may need to be repositioned slightly forward to avoid contact with the receiver tube. Check clearance after installation and adjust the spare tire position if necessary.
Yes, but only for 1990–1991 models. You must remove the exhaust bracket from the forward surface of the body mount, loosen the clamp at the tailpipe, reattach the hanger bracket to the rear surface of the body mount, and retighten the clamp. 1987–1989 models do not require exhaust modification.
The hitch weight is listed in the parts list but the value is blank in the manual provided. Contact Curt Manufacturing or your dealer for the exact hitch weight.
When used as a weight-carrying hitch: 5,000 lbs trailer weight and 500 lbs tongue weight. When used as a weight-distribution hitch: 6,000 lbs trailer weight and 600 lbs tongue weight. Do not exceed your vehicle manufacturer's recommended towing capacity.
Yes. You must drill a 1/2" hole in the bottom of both frame rails for the mounting strap attachment (vertical). This is done in step 7 of the installation, using the hole in the mounting strap as a guide.
The kit includes: 4× 1/2-13 UNC 1-3/4" hex cap screws (grade 8, yellow zinc); 6× 1/2-13 UNC 1-1/2" hex cap screws (grade 8, yellow zinc); 2× 1/2-13 UNC 4-1/2" hex cap screws (grade 8, yellow zinc); 2× 1/2-13 UNC 1-3/4" carriage bolts (grade 8, yellow zinc); 14× 1/2-13 UNC serrated flange nuts (grade 8, yellow zinc); 12× 1/2" flat washers (yellow zinc); 4× 1/2" fender washers (chrome); 2× 0.250 × 1.50 × 2.00" square hole spacers; 2× 0.188 × 1.50 × 3.00" round hole spacers; and 2× 0.188 × 1.50 × 2.00" round hole spacers.
Yes. In step 2 (front of vehicle attachment), you must remove the black plastic plug that covers the hole in the outside vertical surface of the frame before installing the 1/2-13 x 4-1/2" hex bolt.
All 1/2-13 fasteners must be torqued to 110 lb.-ft. This applies to all bolts and nuts in the assembly.
Do not tighten fasteners as you install them. Steps 2, 3, and 4 specifically state 'do not tighten at this time' or 'loosely fasten'. Tighten all 1/2-13 fasteners to 110 lb.-ft only after the entire assembly is aligned and installed (step 8).
1. Position side plates on the outside surface of the frame and align with existing holes. 2. Install the front attachment bolt (1/2-13 x 4-1/2") with spacers and fender washers (1987–1989) or round hole spacers (1990–1991), loosely fastened. 3. Install the center attachment bolt (1/2-13 x 1-3/4"), loosely fastened. 4. Install the rear attachment bolt (1/2-13 x 1-3/4"), loosely fastened. 5. Repeat on the opposite side. 6. Align and install the cross tube assembly with 1/2-13 x 1-1/2" bolts. 7. Drill 1/2" holes in the frame rails and install the mounting strap attachment (vertical) with carriage bolts, loosely fastened. 8. Torque all 1/2-13 fasteners to 110 lb.-ft.
For 1987–1989 vehicles: Use fender washers (taped loosely to the inboard surface of the side plate over the two front mounting holes). For 1990–1991 vehicles: Use 1/2 × 1.50 × 2.00" round hole spacers at the front attachment point instead of fender washers.
The horizontal portion of the mounting strap will be located on the bottom of the frame. In step 7, use the hole in the mounting strap as a guide to drill a 1/2" hole in the bottom of both frame rails, then install the carriage bolt through the 1/2 × 1.50 × 2.00" installation spacer, frame, and mounting strap.
Periodically check the receiver hitch to ensure that all fasteners are tight and that all structural components are sound. The manual does not specify a retorque interval; consult Curt Manufacturing or your dealer for recommended maintenance intervals.
