I went with the MetalTech hitch as I don't have plans to max out the towing capacity. It's a solid build as expected from the folks at MetalTech. If you have slightly larger tires in your future and plan to mount it underneath here's a heads up. My only niggle is the bottom flange of the hitch...

The 470 xfer is a VF4BM the same as the V8 4Rnr and certain FJC's. If memory serves the 460's have a different version of the VF4 Not sure on the NV4500 adapter but I doubt anyone has gone down that path yet. Ignoring cost, there are likely OE MT's that bolt up the 2UZ just not in the US.

Great find, thanks. It covers all my Toyota's, and the wif's Merc along with some other brands I help keep going.
