I had one installed by Leonard, think it was around $175. I use it for my fishing rod rack. They had several to choose from.

And that was on an 07 Tundra? Is it Class IV/V? I'm needing it for a winch and want to make sure I have sufficient strength to yank it out of the mud. Not familiar with Leonard. Is that a store name or a brand of hitch?

Thanks for the reply.

Mark

I also have the Curt hitch. Super easy install. I got my Surf Mate Rod Rack today. I will assemble and install tomorrow to see how it looks. I am going to the Outer Banks next month.

Leonard is a store that sells truck accessories. Mine is maybe a class III, it only needs to hold a few hundred pounds at most. Not sure how beefy you can go on the front. Looks like the Curt hitch should work, rated at 9,000 lb.

Thanks for the info - I'm getting one to haul my dirt bike in the front since I'm putting a slide in camper on my '07.

tonylop33. Could you please post some pics of your front receiver on your truck. Does it get in the way of removing the skid plate? Thanks

I don't have any pictures but it does get in the way a little when removing the skid plate. What I do is remove the bolt from one side and loosen the bolt on the other side (this is on the hitch receiver). Than I just swing it out toward the front of the truck. That gives me access to the front skid plate screws. It is not a big deal, maybe 5 minutes all told. If you had a Class IV or V it might be a bigger pain depending on how it is attached.

Here you go sebs. The skid plate does not need to be removed.

hangs down kinda low, doesn't it? Are you worried you'll be pushing rocks with that thing?

It looks lower than it actually. I don't go 4 wheeling (it's a 2wd). I have never come close to hitting anything with it.

I have a Curt Mfg. front receiver hitch on my 07 Tundra. I took it in to the dealership for the first oil change yesterday. The technician removed the receiver hitch to do the oil change. I talked to his supervisor who stated that the receiver will have to be removed for every oil change. I guess that is the price of having too many toys.

Time to loom at the skid plat and see if there is a way to trim it to simplify things..
