2 inches. But you need to figure out what size ball you need also.

 

and how much of a drop/rise you need to keep the trailer level

 

get a "connect-a-ball".....buy the 1 7/8", 2" and 2 5/8".

2" receiver with whatever "drop" you need based on ride height.

 

What class is the factory hitch?

 

Should be class 4. IV

 

The Tundra hitch is actually just slightly oversize for 2". The pin required for the Tundra hitch is just a little bit longer than normal so check it to make sure that the one you have fits.

Nice, thanks guys :thumbsup:

 

It's the same 2" like every other "normal" truck on the market...

The drop will depend on the trailer. My boat squats the back of this truck pretty good...a quad or whatever that is probably won't.

measures 2.125" wide/high on my 2014.

 

Yeah I dont understand why it is larger than 2"? The receiver moves around a lot.

 

So that the hitch doesn't rust in place in the receiver. Add a couple of spot welds to the hitch to take up the slop if you want it gone.

 

Someone in the past just added duct tape around the hitch. Add layers until you get the thickness desired.

 

I was thinking of adding some steel shim tape.

 

That should work very well

 

That is a good idea. I've always had this problem with Toyota. I have used electrical tape in the past...at least that dampened the sound when my trailer was empty and bouncing around.

 

There is an anti-rattle device for hitches.

As for the lock, you have to use a lock for a class V hitch.

 

Hmmm, you have a 2014, didn't you get one with your truck? my dealership gave me the one that Toyota sends out with the trucks

 

I'm betting the dealer didnt give him one. Some dealers are not handing them out from what I have been reading on this and other forums.

 

I usually use cedar shims to take up the slack...pound them in with a mallet and good to go...no rattle. I have driven across country pulling a heavy trailer and no rattling. That way if I use my hitch in a different receiver, I don't have to fiddle with getting the tape off so it will fit.

BTW: I didn't get a hitch when I got my '14.
