    I installed the OEM hitch today without any problems. However, the bolts through the bumper seem very long. Can someone with the factory installed hitch take a look at the pic below and let me know if they look the same?

    Thanks, Kelly. I was just in the neighborhood of a Toyota dealer and stopped by for a look at a new Tacoma with the factory installed hitch. The bolts are the same length, just painted black.
