Stock WD hitch - hardware to mount it?

[dsieber]

Hi,
Just in the process of picking up a (used) stock weight-distributing hitch (the 7,000lb version for a V8), and wondering if anyone would happen to have a list of exactly what bolts (size, etc) you need to mount it. Getting the hitch, but no hardware.

I figure if I know in advance, it'll save me a lot of trips to the local hardware store while trying to install it...

Thanks!
Dirk

As I recall when removing mine the bolts are kind of specialized so I suggest getting them from Toyota. You want to make sure that's attached securely!

I used this when finding the same hardware to mount a used OEM hitch I picked up. Curt listed the hardware in the upper left corner of the pdf file. Fyi, I never found any of it at Home Depot/lowes type stores. They always had the wrong thread type. I'd look at a specialty hardware store or buy the curt hardware kit they sell online. But it's pricey for what it is. Also, you can reuse the tow hook hardware again if you have one attached so you'll only have to buy 2 of the bigger bolts. Hope this helps.
