Every truck a trailer hitch, every trailer hitch a hitch cover…

As an owner of a trailer hitches and hitch covers ecommerce site, I’ve started noticing our favorite products everywhere. Whenever I’m driving down the road I notice whether trucks and SUVs have (or don’t have) trailer hitches. When I see a vehicle that obviously has the towing capacity but doesn’t have a hitch I ask myself why. Why would you let all that towing power go to waste? Trailer hitches in all sizes and varieties are just a few clicks away. At the same time, when I see a big truck that does have a hitch but doesn’t have a hitch cover, I’m confused. Especially when I see a sports sticker on the bumper or in the rear window. I mean, if you’ve got an NFL team decal that shows the world your devotion, why not reinforce the message with the right NFL hitch cover? Leave no doubt, that’s my motto. There are a lot of sites on the web that supply you with trailer hitches and hitch covers at very reasonable prices. Whether it’s our store or someone else’s, do the right thing for your truck or SUV and get yourself properly outfitted. You’ll be glad you did!

Toyota Tundra

I love the new Toyota Tundra TV commercials, and the actual truck looks pretty cool too.  To see the commercials, follow this link http://www.toyota.com/vehicles/minisite/commercial/tundra_tv.html

Right after the commercials came out, I found videos on the Toyota site about the making of those commercials–apparently it was all pretty much just like it looks on TV.  Unfortunately, those videos are gone, but I found a blog with some more information, check it out here http://blogs.cars.com/kickingtires/2007/02/how_they_made_t.html

The 2007 Tundra has a lot of nice features, and Toyota.com has a lot of videos to showcase these features.  At Trailer Hitch Universe, we’re mostly concerned with the trailer hitch and towing features, so I’ll focus on those: The 5.7L V8 has a 10,800 lb. towing capacity and can carry over 2000 lbs in the long bed. The V8 tow package includes a heavy-duty tow hitch receiver, 7-pin connector, trailer brake controller prewire, supplemental transmission cooler, TOW/HAUL mode (not available with 4.7L V8), automatic-transmission temperature gauge, 4.100 rear axle ratio (on 4.7L models) or 4.300 rear, axle ratio (on 5.7L models).  Front tow hooks come standard on all models except the 4.0L Double Cab.  Toyota reccommends the Reese weight distribution hitch bar, and I would also like to note that hitch is shown with a matte black toyota logo hitch cover.
