They make it easy to hitch up and Bring It, offering a vehicle-specific fit and the weight capacity to handle a variety of trailers.

Each class 3 hitch has a 2" receiver tube and is tested in accordance with SAE J684 for safety. To ensure that CURT class 3 receiver hitches have what it takes for serious trailering, they are designed using a hands-on approach and are constructed with rugged, high-strength steel and precise welding. We also protect our class 3 hitches in a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat and black powder coat for superior resistance to rust, chipping and UV damage.

My install instructions on 1st gen Tacoma's (I apologize if I miss a step):
Tools needed or recommended: 19mm sockets, breaker bar, ratchet, WD40 or equivalent, heat gun (if you drive in heavily salted winters), impact tool (not necessary, but made things a hell of a lot easier), I forgot the size needed to remove the stock hitch ball from some Tacoma's, but if your hitch currently has that, you will need remove that or it will not clear. A floor jack and a friend, although I did it myself with just a floor jack.
1. Remove the license plate lights. Just twist them out of the bumper and tuck them out of the way.
2. Position a floor jack to catch the rear bumper so it does not fall when you remove the bolts.Remove the bumper. Bumper is held on by 4 19mm bolts. Two on each side. The two bolts closest to the front of the engine you can take it right out. The two rear one's, you have to hold the nut on the inside, otherwise it'll just keep spinning. If you live in a salted area, I would recommend WD40 the bolts generously a day or two before working on it. Also, be prepared to need a torch. I used the one's you just attach a small canister to. Even with a power air gun I needed some heat. You do not want to keep going at it if it is being stubborn. Bolts will break!
3. The bracket that holds the rear bumper to the truck can be removed from the bumper and HAS to be removed. I believe these were 19mm also. Again, soak it with PB Blaster/WD40. Again, I needed heat. Try to scrape any rusted parts and BUY anti rust spray like rustoleum.
4. If your current bumper has the stock ball hitch attached to it, remove it by undoing the huge nut holding it in place from the bottom. You might have to sawzall it or heat the hell out of this part. The nut will not clear the hitch if you leave it, at least for me it didn't.
5. Take the brackets you just removed and put the flange that sticks out in to the opening in the hitch, move the bumper to the hitch and connect the two rear bolts again, the one's the held the brackets to the rear bumper. DO NOT TIGHTEN THEM. Leave a good amount of wiggle room. Do this to both sides of the brackets.
6. Use the floor jack to lift it in to place and bolt it back together for the remainder 4 bolts. With these 4 bolts tighten, now tighten the 4 bolts holding the bracket to the rear bumper. The bumper comes with a plate and bolt. It is easy to figure out where it goes by reading the instructions. It is essentially used to secure the bumper to the hitch.
7. Optional, but recommend spraying anti rust on the bolts.
8. Install rear license plate lights and you're good to go!
Hope this helps and please correct me if I'm wrong on anything or forgot something.
The instructions are clear for the installation. I did this solo and it took me 2 hours with all hand tools (no impact gun or air ratchet). You need a 19 MM socket to remove and re-install the bolts. On my '99 Tacoma, two of the OEM bolts on the frame did not have welded nuts, so I needed to hold the nuts with a 19 MM open end wrench. (NOTE: all other bolts have welded nuts) Prior to removing the bumper and bumper frames, I liberally applied some penetrating lubricant (PB B'laster Penetrating Catalyst). *****When you install the hitch and OEM parts again, do not tighten any of the bolts until you are sure the alignment of the parts is equal and straight. (Check that the tailgate does not interfere with the plastic bumper cover.) Then tighten them one at a time and check alignment as you go.
My Tacoma is a 1999 2WD 4cyl Sr5 Extra Cab. It has a pair of Hellwig Model 550 helper springs installed that raised bumper height 1" from OEM height. I selected a Reese ball mount with a 3 1/4" drop and I reversed the ball to make it a bout a 1 3/4 inch lift for the ball and that puts my hitch height at 17 1/2 Inches off the ground, which is about right for most small trailers.
Hints:
-as others suggest, drop out the spare prior to starting if your truck is sitting on the ground and not a lift (good time to check the spare tire pressure).
-have a light you don't have to hold yourself while you work with the tools. It is dark under there.
-if working alone, you can turn a 5 gallon bucket upside down to catch the bumper as you remove it.
-as others suggest I did use locktite blue on the fasteners.
-you need a torque wrench that goes up to 110 ft-lbs (most auto parts stores loan for free)
-wear safety glasses to keep rust and dirt out of your eyes.
-to remove and reinstall the ball from the mount, install the mount into the receiver to hold it for you instead of a vice or trying to freehand it. I also use locktite on ball threads.
Other costs to account for in the project: Hopkins 43315 Trailer wiring harness, trailer plug mount, trailer wiring test plug with LED indicators ~$50; Lubricant and locktite ~$12; Reese mount, ball, security lock $44. (shop rags, etc.)
