Genuine Toyota hitches have up to 16 connection points to the vehicle frame to transfer the force of towing across the vehicle to reduce stress and preserve the integrity of the body structure
All Toyota hitches are manufactured by expert welders, press operators and painters
Thorough testing of the tow hitch design is conducted both on and off the vehicle to ensure its capabilities including:
Precise computer simulations, used to analyze stress points, assess impact forces and examine design efficiency
Steel prototypes for real-world testing; extensive fatigue testing to assess long-term mechanical durability
On-road testing to ensure the hitch precisely matches vehicle towing capacity
Dual-layer painting process features a protective paint called electro-deposition coasting or “e-coat” to help protect against corrosion and the environment, along with a powder topcoat to protect against UV rays and maintain long-term appearance.
Advanced, no-drill hitch and wire harness installation process maintains the structural integrity of the vehicle frame
Custom replacement fascia pieces, matching vehicle contours and color, are provided if parts of rear fascia need to be removed to accommodate the hitch—integrating the appearance of the vehicle bumper and hitch
Electro-deposition coating, or “e-coating,” helps protect against corrosion and the environment
Powder top coat protects against ultraviolet rays and helps maintain a “like-new” appearance
Easy, no-drill installation maintains the structural integrity of the vehicle frame
Custom replacement bumper trim panel matches vehicle contours and color
16 connection points to the vehicle frame transfer force of towing across vehicle to reduce stress and preserve integrity of the frame and body structure
Extensive stress point, fatigue and on-road testing ensure the product meets or exceeds all Toyota durability testing
