I have a '04 Toyota Tundra, long bed, 2WD. I have an opportunity to buy a trailer hitch that had been installed on a '01 Tundra. My question is, are the frames the same, and should the hitch fit my truck?

I have no idea but you might log onto a website (Drawtite is one, U-Haul is another, etc) and do a comparison there for fitment.

Reese is another…and to confuse things more…

Reese and Drawtite merged…and U-Haul hitches are made by Drawtite.

One thing to add…if you have an automatic and plan on towing a few times a year…then I suggest you get a transmission cooler.
