2000 Tundra, needs Tow Package, Options? - TundraTalk.net

I just picked up a 2000 tundra with the SR5 and 4wheel drive. It doesn't have the tow package, so I was thinking of getting an aftermarket Hitch. I've bought Curt Hitches for my Tacoma, and It's done ok, but I want to tow a 4000lb trailer. I found the service manual online and saw pictures of the factory hitch. It has a lot more bolt connections then then after market ones. There are something like 5 bolts on each side of the hitch assy and 4 bolts into the bumper. The after market ones I've found only have 2 bolts on each side and 2 into the bumper..

Can you get the factory tow package somewhere for a reasonable price? Are there any after market ones you'd recommend? Is it over designed and I should just go with the 150 dollar Class III?

Google Resse hitches. Their a fine hitch and I'm sure you'll find one for your Tundra. You will also need a brake control and a trans cooler for a 4000 pound trailer. Good luck.

I have the U-Haul cut sheet right in front of me for my 2006. Six bolts, 5000lbs max trailer weight and 500lbs max tongue weight.
