Shipping SpecialFully welded vehicle trailer hitch is strong and durable. Draw-Tite's Tested Tough guarantee ensures that this hitch exceeds industry standards. The combination of an e-coat base and a powder coat finish provides excellent rust protection.
Features:
Specs:

Draw-Tite's Tested Tough program provides testing standards far superior to those outlined by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE), the go-to source for engineering professionals.
Each Draw-Tite trailer hitch receiver undergoes extensive fatigue testing and static testing with the ball mount that is either supplied or recommended for use with that particular hitch, thus ensuring results that are applicable to real life use. Fatigue testing is also conducted on hitches rated for use with weight-distribution systems.
In addition, Draw-Tite performs static testing on a simulated automobile, as opposed to the rigid fixture used for SAE testing, resulting in a more true-to-life scenario.
At etrailer.com we're committed to the products we sell, and to our customers. Our experienced and knowledgeable staff are available via both phone and email to address your questions and concerns for the lifetime of your hitch. The technicians at etrailer perform hitch installations on a daily basis, making them a valuable resource for do-it-yourselfers. The one-on-one, personal service you'll receive comes straight from an expert in the towing and automotive field. We've installed it, we've wired it and we've towed with it, so whatever your question, we can answer it.

Today on our 2012 Toyota Highlander, we'll be installing the Draw-Tite Hitch, part number 75586. This is what our hitch will look like once it's installed. Next, we'll go ahead and give you a couple of measurements to assist you in selecting accessories for your new hitch. From the center of the hitch pin hole to the outermost edge of the bumper is 1-1/2 inches. From the top of the receiver tube to the ground is 14-1/4 inches. This will assist you in selecting accessories such as a drawbar, a bike rack, or a cargo carrier.
Now, let's go ahead with the installation. Before we can install the hitch, we'll need to remove both the driver and passenger's side underbody trim panels. These will get removed and will not be reinstalled. With this application, the manufacturer has suggested cutout lines if you wish to cut them out and reinstall them. However for this application, we will not.
To remove the underbody trim panels, there are multiple pushpin fasteners and bolt fasteners to remove. We'll go ahead and start on the driver's side and then remove the passenger's side. Now with both underbody trim panels removed, we'll go ahead and remove both tow hooks. There are two fasteners for each tow hook, one on each side. Once again, we'll set these aside as they will not be reinstalled.
Now, we're ready to go ahead and point out the attachment points. We'll have a total of three on each side in the bottom of the frame. We'll need to go ahead and remove the rubber plug for the forward fastener on the driver's side. Next, we'll go ahead and take our 1/2-inch nylon tube brush, part number 814092 and some spray lubricant and clean out each one of the weld nuts. We do this so that we can go ahead and take one of the new 10-mm bolts and make sure they're going to thread in nice and easily, because over time the threads can build up with rust, dust, dirt and debris, making it difficult to install the new fasteners.
Now, we're ready to go ahead and install the hitch. We'll be using the new 10-mm bolts with the conical toothed washer with the teeth of the washer facing the hitch. It's a good idea to get an extra set of hands to help you hold the hitch while you install the fasteners. Now with all six fasteners installed, we can go ahead and tighten them down. Next, we can go ahead and torque to specifications as indicated in the instructions. And that will complete our install of the Draw-Tite Hitch, part number 75586 on our 2012 Toyota Highlander.

Great fit installation was a breeze it took me a bit longer to install because instead of eliminating the plastic covers as suggested by even the manufacturer I modified the drivers side and didn`t have to remove the passenger side at all. 9250

Exelent product Easy installation. Took me abour one hour to install it. Don't listen any one who will be telling about not putting back left and right side plastic corners (guards) under bumper. Right one fits perfect. Left one needs to be altornated (just cut it from existing hole in the middle in the bumper dirrection and change profile of center hole ro recive new bracket.This altornation took one half of installation time in total). Will be good if manufacture will make some type of temlate for it.3514

Was as advertised, No surprise I had it installed by local Draw-Tite dealer. All went well. Seems to work as it should. Installer did not remove right side cover. So still have shield on right side. The wiring was tricky, had to know how to remove panel in cargo area. 1015

Great standard shipping time was in stock and ordered Saturday received Tuesday. Installed Tuesday night in no time. The only issue is the install of rear Tow-Plug Adapter on Toyota 2013 Highlander Hybrid is different that the pictures in the instructions. In the Toyota 2013 Highlander Hybrid they (Toyota) moved the 12 volt battery into the back driver side compartment, still has the same connector (see picture) 75196

had to have it professionally installed. it is a) heavy and b) the bolts on the car where wicked tight!! once it was installed (2 days after it arrived), made immediate use of it. It was simple to use and the bike hitch did the job. glad to have purchased it. 44673

After having watched the installation video I thought, yeah, sure, less than an hour to install, maybe if you own a car lift. Boy was I surprised when I shimmied my fat but under the rear of my 2008 Highlander to install this. It was so simple and intuitive I could not believe it only took me about 30 minutes. 34961

Wonderful, amazing service. This is the BEST online service that I have ever experienced. This hitch was easy as pie to put on. It was shipped and arrived to me in just a few days. Great e-mail communication from etrailer. My wife and I put this on our 2011 highlander in just a few hours. I am 100% satisfied with both the hitch and the etrailer service. 26538

Product is Excellent. Shipping as expected. Sma Note: Box corners were damaged and should be reinforced. Will save you headaches from future returns as hitch is heavy and box got pretty thrashed. Definitely would do business again. Thanks25742

I couldn't be happier with the installation of my hitch and brake controller for my 2011 Toyota Highlander. I had the pre wired harness, but that doesn't mean much. If you are trying to decide what you need to buy to install a hitch and brake controller on your car, here are the product #'s I ordered: 75586 ETBC7 118449 90185 I used all of the parts, and installation was very clean! 20883

I ordered the tow hitch and a 4-bike carrier indicated above for my '08 Highlander and have been very satisified with both purchases. I ordered at 2:45pm on Friday and received the products on Tuesday morning of that next week. Just 3 business days and the shipping was FREE! Just like indicated on the Etrailer website, the tow hitch was indeed specifically machined for my vehicle...in fact it took my wife and I just 20 mins to hold the hitch and tighten the 6 bolts to the chasis. It took me longer to figure out how to get the leverage to remove the bolts holding my factory tow hooks! Great product, fast-free delivery and easy installation....way-to-go Etrailer!16555

Great timing delivering the item I purchased. Fast delivery! Box was extremely large, item shifted considerably in transit, scuff marks and a few scratches were present. Not a big deal as it is a towing hitch. Hitch bolted right up and was easy as could be installing it! Will buy from them again. Great communication from e trailer.15480

The trailer hitch for my Highlander arrived on wed after ordering on saturday. I did pay the extra $7.49 for quick shipping, but I did not expect it to be that quick. It arrived in good condition. Instructions were clear for installation. The hitch itself was extremely easy to install. The light package was a bit more of challenge, but that is a Toyota issue, not with the etrailer product. The online video was very helpful for the hitch. The hitch itself appears very well constructed and fit perfectly. I am very satisfied.6805

It's OK... Installation was easy and quick. It appears that it may interfere with dropping the spare tire but I haven't tried to verify. It does extend out beyond the the bumper more than I'd prefer and the mount is more visable because it goes under the muffler rather than over it. I purchased the 2923 ballmount along with this and the ballmount's fit in the receiver is very loose. I don't which item is out of tolerance but I ended up using some electrical tape around the ballmount to make a better fit in the receiver because the constant banging drove me nuts.721
