Watch these CURT videos first
All four videos are from the official CURT YouTube channel (@curtmfg). Use them for class selection, install habits, wiring basics, and ball-mount height before you dig into the product cards below.
If an embed does not load, use the YouTube link under the card. Hilux shoppers usually land on Class 3 two inch hardware for listed two thousand sixteen through two thousand nineteen years on the 13457 card.
Trailer Hitch Installation Techniques
Confirm the live card still lists your year and configuration. Shared sheets are easy to mix up when sibling badges sit nearby.

Plan lights after the hitch. A four-flat or seven-way still needs a clean ground before the first night tow.

Match shank size to the live tube, then level the trailer with rise versus drop once the hitch is on.
Watch on YouTubeThe live hitch path for listed Hilux years
CURT 13457 is a Class 3 hitch with a two inch receiver path that names listed Toyota Hilux years from two thousand sixteen through two thousand nineteen on the live card. That is a narrow window. We will not invent fitment for earlier or later Hilux years that do not appear on the live title.
Class 3 hardware suits utility trailers and modest work loads when the Toyota sticker and the live hitch card both agree. Confirm gross and tongue ratings on the live product card. Your door sticker still sets the ceiling. Dedicated Hilux trailer wiring is thin on this shelf, so we will not invent a Hilux-only harness promise. Plan lights only when a live harness card clearly fits your year.
Honest catalogue gap: Hilux is not a mainstream Canada retail truck the way Tacoma is. Stock can be thinner, and year landers stop at the listed window. If your truck is a Tacoma or Tundra badge, open those guides instead of forcing a Hilux card.
