4Runner hitch type

We towed our 21 with our 2003 4Runner V6 for the first two years and about 30,000 miles.

Releasing hitch on an incline

Amplifying what John said, the hitch can easily bind onto the ball when on a bit of an incline.

Don't use a tool to force the latch to release. You need to pull forward or back up a half inch...
