The Toyota Hilux Iii, known for its ruggedness and reliability, often serves as a primary vehicle for towing. Whether it’s hauling equipment, a boat, or a camper, a reliable trailer hitch is essential. A CURT Class 3 trailer hitch provides a robust solution designed specifically for the Hilux III, ensuring secure towing for various applications.
Towing Capacity and Features of the Hilux III Hitch
CURT Class 3 hitches are engineered to handle a wide range of towing needs, making them a versatile choice for Hilux III owners. These hitches are commonly used on full-size cars, vans, crossovers, light-duty trucks, and SUVs, demonstrating their adaptability to different vehicle types. For the Hilux III, this translates to confidently towing fishing boats, pop-up campers, ATVs, utility trailers, and more. Beyond towing, a Class 3 hitch can also increase your vehicle’s storage capacity with hitch-mounted cargo carriers or bike racks. However, it’s crucial to remember never to exceed the lowest-rated towing component’s capacity.
Each CURT Class 3 hitch is custom-designed for a specific vehicle make and model, ensuring optimal fit and straightforward installation on the Hilux III. This custom design seamlessly integrates with the Hilux III’s frame and provides a dependable connection point for your trailer.

Built to Last: Durability and Testing of CURT Hitches
This CURT hitch for the Toyota Hilux III undergoes rigorous testing in compliance with SAE J684 standards. This ensures a substantial weight carrying capacity of 4,000 lbs. Gross Trailer Weight (GTW) and 400 lbs. Tongue Weight (TW). The hitch features a standard 2″ receiver tube opening, accommodating a wide variety of ball mounts and other hitch accessories with a 2″ x 2″ shank.
CURT’s commitment to quality extends throughout their manufacturing process. All CURT custom-fit receiver hitches, from Class 1 to Class 5, are manufactured in the USA with meticulous attention to detail. Their hitches are engineered with hands-on expertise for a precise fit and are welded using a combination of manual and robotic processes for both speed and accuracy. The final step involves a unique co-curing process. Each hitch receives a liquid A-coat dip for comprehensive rust prevention, followed by a durable black powder coat finish that provides maximum resistance to rust, chipping, and UV damage.
Ensuring Reliability: SAE J684 Testing and Warranty
Every CURT custom hitch design is subjected to thorough testing at their Detroit, Michigan facility. Adhering to the proposed SAE J684 testing protocols guarantees the dependability of the hitch, allowing Hilux III owners to confidently tow their loads. This commitment to quality ensures a reliable connection for various activities, from recreational pursuits like hunting, fishing, and camping to demanding tasks like off-roading and heavy-duty hauling.
Furthermore, all CURT custom hitches are backed by a limited lifetime warranty, providing peace of mind and reinforcing their long-term reliability. This warranty underscores CURT’s confidence in their product and ensures Hilux III owners can rely on their hitch season after season. With a CURT Class 3 hitch, your Hilux III is equipped to handle any towing challenge.
