Hello,
I was recently rear-ended and my OEM hitch took most of the impact. The hitch was bent and the bumper was damaged. I took it to my local Toyota body shop and they put the following part numbers in the quote:
Rear bumper cover -
52159-35190
Trailer Hitch -
51909-35011
When I search for rear bumpers, I see two options. The one above says "with tow hitch", and the other option (
52159-35200) says "without tow hitch". My assumption is the one quoted has a notch cut out for the hitch found on the V8 4Runners. However, mine is a V6 and has no notch. I don't want them to install the wrong bumper and end up with a notch with no hitch to fill the opening.
Additionally, the hitch quoted looks nothing like the one I have. Mine is a tube style that bolts to the frame rails. The one quoted is just a small piece that bolts to the cross member. I can't find a tube style hitch on any Toyota parts sites so perhaps it is discontinued? Can anyone help me identify the correct part numbers? I don't have much confidence in the body shop.
