Trailer Hitch and Wiring for 2025 Toyota Highlander XLE Hybrid
Question:
2025 Toyota Highlander XLE hybrid ,class 3 trailer hitch with hidden crossbar, all welded construction, please give me a couple options and a plug-an play wiring converter for 4 prong trailer plug. I went through your website. I just wanted to make sure I was looking at the correct hitch and wiring converter.

Hi Jake; for a hitch that will fit your 2025 Toyota Highlander XLE Hybrid I recommend the etrailer # e75ZR. This is a Class II hitch with a bolt-on installation, welded construction, and concealed cross tube. It also features a matte black finish which helps hide dirt and dings while giving it more of an OEM look.
For an additional option, we also have the Curt # C99FR. This shares the same design as the etrailer hitch but has a glossy finish. If the finish isn't important to you I would choose whichever has a lower cost.
The wiring depends on whether or not you have the tow package. If you do have the tow package, you can use the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package # TK74FR. This plugs into the connection point behind your rear bumper.
If you do not have the tow package, I recommend the ZCI Circuit Protected Vehicle Wiring Harness # 119250KIT. This isn't plug and play but it does clamp onto your vehicle wiring so you won't have to do any splicing. If you need a ball mount to complete your setup, check out the etrailer Ball Mount # e67DR.
I attached some installation videos below for your reference.
