Sort of fits a Toyota P/U : Master Lock 3812AT Class III Multi-Fit Hitch
Bought this thinking it would fit on a 1992 Toyota Hi-Lux pick-up. The 3-pc design is nice in that it can adjust a bit. And the shipping was free from Amazon. Well, it sort of fits. The spec says it fits, but actually, if I check the manufacturer's list, it say it fits the extend 8ft hi-lux P/U bed, not the standard bed. And the reason it doesn't fit is because underneath, Toyota decided to punch out big holes where the mounting nuts would have been present on the chassis to which the rear-bumper is mounted.
My solution was to buy some 1.5 inch x 1.5 inch x 1/8th inch angle-iron and cut two pieces about 9 inches long, then sand, prime and paint them. These pieces become chassis extensions and re-inforcements that allow the rack to bolt to the same structure as the OEM bumper. The way I create the mounts is to measured and drilled 3 slightly larger than 1/2 inch holes for the mounting bolts in each piece and using a few extra fender washers. I'm able to use the angle iron as a bracket above the same chassis where the big holes were punched.
Rack now fits my standard 1992 P/U just fine and it has about 1/2 inch clearance underneath the OEM rear bumper, and provides clearance to lower the spare tire as well.
There is one issue in that the 3-pc design allows the heavy center piece to shift and vibrate, despite torquing down the bolts on the center piece. My solution was to drill out and tap threaded holes in each side bracket where the middle piece slides over and had already a pre-made hole for a secondary pass-thru anchor bolt. I used two 3/8th inch bolts and some lock washers and then directly secured middle piece to each side bracket piece. Now the hitch is really stiff and works well with no shaking, vibrations, etc.
I don't tow anything heavy. Mainly, I use this to hold a 2 inch square tube bike rack on the back, which now works wonderfully.
It was a small hassle though, but the price was right.
