Hitches that fit the 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma

3 receiver hitches fit, by the makers' own fit charts. Gross trailer weight ratings run from 5,000 to 7,000 lb; the truck's own tow rating is the limit.

Hitches for the 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma: what to know first

Three receiver hitches fit the 2016-2023 Toyota Tacoma in Access Cab and Double Cab form, and the makers rule none of them out. Toyota offers two bed floor lengths, 60.5 in and 73.7 in. The truck has an easy-lower lockable removable tailgate, a deck rail system with four adjustable tie-down cleats and a composite bed, so whatever you bolt under the rear bumper has to live alongside those. Toyota states a Class-IV receiver for the truck but does not publish the opening size, so the sizes shown here come from each hitch maker's own listing. Every hitch here has a 2 in receiver. Two are Class III and one is Class IV. Each entry carries a part number, a gross trailer weight rating and a tongue weight rating taken from the maker, which lets you match the number on the box to the number here before you order.

How to choose for this truck

All three hitches are the same product type, a custom-fit receiver hitch with a 2 in opening, so the choice comes down to class, ratings and install. Two are Class III and one is Class IV. The lowest gross trailer weight rating is 5000 lb, on the Reese Towpower Class 3 Multi-Fit, part 37137. The highest is 7000 lb, on the Draw-Tite Class 4, part 75238. Tongue weight ratings run from 500 lb on the Reese to 1050 lb on the Draw-Tite. The CURT Class 3, part 13264, sits between them at 6000 lb and 900 lb. Draw-Tite lists its install at 20 minutes with no drilling. Reese lists 60 minutes with drilling required, and that same part number also lists the Ranger, Colorado/Canyon 2015-2022 and Frontier, so it is a multi-fit design rather than one cut for the Tacoma alone. Reese gives a weight-distribution rating equal to its 5000 lb gross rating. CURT lists the 2016-2023 Tacoma excluding trucks with a factory receiver, so a factory receiver is the one option that changes the answer for the CURT part. Match the load rating to your trailer first, then look at the install.

Watch-outs before you buy

None of these hitches is ruled out by its maker, but the fine print still carries items to check. CURT 13264 excludes a factory receiver, so look under your rear bumper before ordering. Reese 37137 lists drilling required, while Draw-Tite 75238 and CURT 13264 list no drilling. Toyota states a Class-IV receiver and does not publish the opening size, so rely on the 2 in opening in each hitch listing. Before buying, match the part number exactly, confirm your bed floor length against the two Toyota offers, 60.5 in or 73.7 in, and confirm your cab is an Access Cab or Double Cab. CURT's guide lists wiring 56349, a 4-flat connector, for production years 2016-2023.
