Hi, I have a 4 pin electric connector and place to place to attach a tow hitch (photos attached).

What else do I need to connect a trailer from Uhaul ? Do I connected a trialer to this 4 pin connector or maybe I need a special socket ?

I've rented from U-Haul several times. They have both 7 and 4 pin connectors and best of all, they have adapters available. At least that's the case at the Santa Rosa U-Haul. Your 2" hitch receiver is standard and will accept the drop hitch that you'll need. They typically use a 2" ball.Good luck.

Like Dave said,  You need to get a 2 inch ball hitch.   I got one with a 1 3/4" drop.  Then you are ready to tow : )   You can get one at any auto parts store or Wal Mart.

 

Keep in mind the towing limits for the FJ as well. If the trailer does not have brakes, Toyota says 1000 lbs is the limit and that is not a lot considering that includes the driver, passengers and the weight of the trailer itself. 5000 with trailer brakes.

is the hitch with 1 3/4" drop good for a truck with 3" lift ?

A 1 3/4" drop one is what I roll with a 3" lift. 

 

Like everyone says, you only need a drop hitch with tow ball and you should be ready to go. How big of a trailer do you need to tow?

Not big trailer...just for moving my stuff.i need one that will fit my bed.

Only advice would be make sure load and distribute the weight correctly. I think its supposed to be 60% at the front and 40% at the rear.
