It fit my 2010 Tundra Double cab with 6 ft bed using the factory brackets. I removed the one that it came with and used the one on the truck. Just unbolt the old bumper, remove and bolt on the new bumper. Takes about 20 minutes.

Jim,I had another person put this on for me, but if I recall correctly, he used the existing hitch brackets on the truck and detached and discarded the ones that came with the replacement bumper. Best of luck.

I also have the tow package and I had no problem bolting on the new bumper. The bumper is separate from the hitch.

Hi Jaz, I don't know much about Tundra 2013 but for my Tundra 2011 (Crewmax). I fits very well.What I did was put a little glue on to the screws after installed. This will keep the screw from backing out. The truck looks a lot nicer.I hope it will hellp. You can beat the price especially it's aluminum instead of plastic.

I mounted mine to a 2014 xv crosstrek to the frame and all I have towed is a 10" boat trailer that can't weigh more than 500 lbs in entiritie. Mounting to sheet metal, depending on how thick, you risk bending and even ripping through the sheet metal. You should also take into to consideration emergency breaking with the vehicle you are mounting it to, this adds much more weight by the force of the sudden stop to the joints and hardware of the entire unit

I am not really sure but the Tundra and 4-Runner are very similar inside. The mates come with 4-Runner on them, I don't know if that would bother you if you put them in your Tundra. They are great mates though, exactly what came with my 4-Runner when it was new. I love them....

I had a hitch already installed on mine. I removed it and used the hitch on the bumper instead. You have to remove all the bolts that hold the hitch in place anyway when you install the new bumper.

You will have to remove it, It mounts where the aftermarket hitch mounts. This bumper has a hitch, witch works just fine.

Measure space under the tailgate between tail gate and bumper. Think 60 inch would probably work better for Tundra, but needs at least 1 inch of vertical space as well as the width. Mine still works perfectly and now is the longest lasting light bar I have now owned.

My truck has the towing package as well. After looking at the replacement I realized that (in my case) it was a lot easier just replace the chrome skin. The metal support underneath would not fit around the new support. If I had realized this from the start I would have order just the chrome skin. It fit perfect, every thing lines up where it should be. Hope this helps you. Doug

There's nothing about the tow bar itself that is special for a Jeep. It could in theory be fastened to just about any vehicle. However, in most cases, that would be a bad idea. (1) Most cars don't have a steel bumper. If you fasten the tow bar to the typical fiberglass or plastic bumper, it'll just tear it apart when you try to tow. (2) Most cars don't have four-wheel-neutral. The Jeep Wrangler, like many vehicles with four-wheel drive (but NOT like many vehicles with "all-wheel-drive") has a "Neutral" for the *transfer case*, which is different than shifting the transmission into Neutral. When the transfer case is in neutral, that disconnects the transmission from the wheels. If you cannot disconnect the transmission from the wheels, then towing the vehicle on all of its wheels can damage or destroy the transmission. When towing a "normal" car, either you put it on a towing dolly which lifts the drive wheels (front if its front-wheel-drive, rear if it's rear-wheel-drive) so they don't spin, or you get underneath it and disconnect the drive shaft. My father's GMC pickup has an "N" setting on its 4WD controls. If we could find a way to connect the tow bar to the chassis so that we had a secure connection that could take the strain, this tow bar could be used to tow that pickup. Personally, I wouldn't try it. Chrysler offers a factory option for a front-bumper-mounted winch for Jeep Wranglers, so I know that they made sure the structure of the front bumper can handle the force necessary to pull the entire vehicle out of a mud pit. I have no way of knowing if the GMC pickup's bumper support could handle the same. Most bumpers are intended to protect against too much force being *pushed,* and don't have any reason for great strength when being *pulled.* So *could* you? Probably. *Should* you? Probably not.

It willYou will have to unbolt the old bumper from your factory hitch. Then unbolt the new bumper from the mount that it comes shipped on ( which would be the standard bumper for tucks without a tow package) I did this on mine and had it done in 30 min

Did you get this? I also have a 2008 Tacoma, towing a 1978 Airstream. The tongue weight of 1000lbs on this is to much I think. There are two other models of this product...one with a 750lb tongue weight and another with 550lb. I am not sure which to get. I think the Tacoma is only rated for around 600lb tongue weight and I think the 24ft trailer should fit this unless overloaded. Thoughts? I am new to towing. Also seems like a hassle to have to take it off to backup.

I do not know of any changes in the rest of the truck from the 02-05 models to the 06-08 models. The changes were the new facial in front, and some differences in the suspension, primarily front. So this should fit. I put on similar to this on an 07, but a different manufacturer, but there was not difference from what I noted. It is a nice and easy install and upgrade for a 1500 without a preinstalled hitch. It os also the correct rating for these years of 1500. The max towing weight is right at 8000 lbs, but you can verify that with your owners manual or reseaching towing capacity for the 06. Hope this helps.

I put this on a Toyota ( Small truck.) and I am thinking it is a generic fit ? I would call A couple trailer places and give them all the info. and ask them which model they would install for you on your specific truck. I would not order it without knowing for sure, it is a very good and heavy duty hitch and went on with no trouble or problems, I have a trailer shop I called that I have worked with over 20 years and they told me it would work before I ordered it and they installed it as I had some welding done on the truck also.... Good Luck RJ

Not sure what your asking butthe base of the truck is designed for the middle part to match. Removing the middle partwould make it a standard truck with a very odd angle. Don't know if it would ride well at all if not damage the truck.

We installed this lift kit on a 2008 Tundra crewmax and everything fit perfectly. Word of warning, since the kit has been installed we have been unable to get the front properly aligned. After just a couple months, brand new tires were already showing significant positive camber wear (outer edge wear). I'm not sure if the kit, alignment(s), or the up sized tires are the problem. Good luck!

Depending on which hole you put your hitch pin in It has a few different lengths to choose from. I have it set so it is about 6 inches from the bumper. I have even been rear ended with it and it saved me having to be without my pick up while a new bumper would have to be installed. Very worth it!!!

Hi - William. Just purchased and installed on 2010 Silverado LT 5"8" bed length. This model sits on bed rails - has very nice look to it. great coverage and no issues to date. The sides interlock with the header. Pretty much set in place - connect - sight for square and attach clamps.
