I've got a 2005 V8 sport that I've been using to pull my boat for the past few years. Just put a new Hidden Hitch on it actually because in Canada the V8's come with the v6 hitch. Anyway.... Crownline 206LS Boat weighs 3800 lbs dry.(21 ft with platform) Trailer is 1000-1200lbs.(tandem axle...

Thank you for the information and the pictures!:)

Hi. I just bought a Hidden Hitch 70779 and will be installing it tomorrow. How hard was it to remove the rear bumper fascia cover? Any tips? Thanks.

Thanks for the info Chris.

Dave, I'm up in Canada and for whatever reason the V8 4Runner comes with the same hitch set up as the V6. Luckily I live less than 60 miles from the border and I'm in the US frequently on business so I had the Hidden Hitch mailed to a customer of mine in NY and will pick it up next week when...

Thanks!

Thanks to all for the advice. I'll mention it to the service manager when I take the truck in later this week.

I've got a 2005 V8 Sport with approx 40,000kms on it and as of a few days ago a clicking noise occurs each time I apply the brakes. Lots of pad left, rotors are not warped. The brakes were serviced at 35,000kms. The dealership supposedly took them apart, cleaned and lubricated and put them...
