• Best Trailer Hitch Receiver For Towing With 2018 Toyota Highlander
  Hey Kevin, That's a good question as there's a number of different choices, but if it were my 2018 Toyota Highlander and I was looking to tow a trailer, the trailer hitch I'd put on is definitely the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13200. Reason why is this is the most robust hitch you can get for your Highlander, coming in with a 6,000 lb towing capacity and 900 lb tongue weight capacity, so it can easily handle whatever you're looking to haul with your Highlander. Apart from that, I...

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Toyota Highlander
  For your 2017 Toyota Highlander the best hitch option is the Draw Tite # DT65MR as it has the best capacity and has a great price. Hitch installs are pretty basic for qualified mechanics. The best advice I can give would be to find a local mechanic to you with a good reputation and let them install it. I attached an install video as well for you to check out to see if you might be able to tackle it yourself.

• Troubleshooting Installation of Tow Ready Wiring Harness on 2016 Toyota Highlander
  The Curt Wiring Harness # C56217 does have an external ground for the converter box harness that would need to be grounded to the vehicle's sheet metal. However, when I checked your order, you ordered the Tow Ready Wiring Harness # 118449 and this wiring harness does not have a ground wire that needs to be grounded separately. To begin troubleshooting, I recommend using a circuit tester, # PTW2993, to test the 4-Way connector of the # 118449 harness. I've attached a video showing how...

• Trailer Lights Not Working After Installing Trailer Wiring Harness in a 2013 Toyota Highlander
  There are 2 fuses associated with wiring harness # 118449 for your 2013 Toyota Highlander. There should be a 10 amp towing fuse that will need to be installed in the fuse panel. There is also a 10 amp fuse for power to the converter box that is in line with the wiring. If either fuse is missing or blown then it will not work. The 30 amp "towing" fuse will also need to be present and not blown for the harness to work. Most Highlanders already have it installed but it is not out of the question...

• Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2012 Toyota Highlander with Factory Towing Prep Package
  If your 2012 Toyota Highlander came with the factory towing package then it should already have a trailer connector. But if there isn't one you can use either a hardwire harness such as # C59236 or the plug in style # 118449. The plug in style is much easier to install. I have linked its instructions and a video showing installation on a 2012 Highlander. I have also included a link to the hitches available for your Highlander if you have not decided on one. The most popular is Curt hitch...

• Replacement Rubber Straps For The Rhode Gear 4 Bike Hitch Shuttle Bike Rack
  I called my contact at Yakima and they informed me that they currently do not make nor stock replacement parts for the Rhode Gear 4 Bike Hitch Shuttle anymore. However, I suggest trying the Replacement Rubber Straps for Yakima BedRoc and Older Big Horn Models part # Y8820103 as these are very similar to your current support straps and according to the Yakima representative, should work for you. I would also agree with this statement as they do look very similar though, but since they have...

• Heavy Duty Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2014 Toyota Highlander with Full Size Spare
  I looked up the online version of your owner's manual, which states that a 2014 Toyota Highlander without a tow package and with a V6 engine, is limited to a maximum allowable gross trailer weight of 2,000 lbs. The tongue weight (TW) should not exceed 9-10 percent of this, so around 200 lbs. Vehicles with a 2.7L L4 engine are limited to 1,500 lbs instead. Class III and IV trailer hitches both feature a 2 inch receiver, however class IV hitches are categorized this way because of their...

• Will Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver 13394 Allow for Full Size Spare on 2018 Toyota Highlander
  The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13394 will fit with a full size spare tire stowed under vehicle unless the spare is on an aluminum rim, which is too wide. If you're concerned about the fit of the hitch with your spare tire I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT84MR which doesn't have this restriction. The Draw-Tite is also a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has the same gross towing weight of 5,000 lbs and max tongue weight of 500 lbs. It also comes with...

• Concealed Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Toyota Highlander
  Your 2018 Toyota Highlander the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch part # 306-X7250 that you referenced is a confirmed fit and would be exactly what you'd want since you said you only wanted the hitch tube to be visible.

Install video attached below for this as well. If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested...

• Adding 7-Way Trailer Connector and Brake Controller to 2015 Toyota Highlander Limited Platinum
  Your pictures did not make it through so please email them to me by responding to this message. In the meantime the easiest way to determine if a vehicle has the factory tow package is to have the dealer run the VIN in their system and they should be able to tell you how the vehicle is equipped. You can also tell me the VIN and I can run it through some decoders to see if I can figure it out. It is possible for some vehicles to have the tow package wiring but not have the factory tow...

• Recommendation for Adding Taillights to Rear of Hitch Mounted Bicycle Rack
  We don't offer anything purpose-built to install taillights on a hitch mounted bike rack, but you could effectively modify an existing system very easily. If your bike rack is steel, you could simply use a magnetic mount tow light like part # RM-2120. There would be some extra wire you'd need to bundle up and secure with zip ties, but the installation would be very simple. Another option would involve using a light kit designed for a cargo carrier. I'd recommend the # 98174LED kit and...

• Installing 7-way Blade Trailer Connector on 2013 Toyota Highlander
  To wire your 2013 Highlander with a 7-way and 4 pole connector, you'd first need a functional 4-pole trailer connector. If your Highlander doesn't already have one, you can install it using part # 118449. With the 4-pole in place, there's two different alternatives, depending on if your trailer with the 7-way has brakes. If it does NOT, you can use the Hopkins # 37185 (same as the 47185 you mentioned). The 37185 would plug directly into the 4-pole, with 4 remaining wires. The white wire...

• Does My 2019 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Have A Tow Package Or Not
  I am happy to help you determine if your 2019 Toyota Highlander Hybrid has a tow package or not. I understand that the photo you are referring to can be hard to interpret. The easiest way to determine this is to visually inspect your vehicle on your own. If you take a look at the video for part # 118449 that I attached on a 2019 Toyota Highlander without a tow package, the installer removes the back tray in the rear cargo area to find the plugs he needs to plug the wiring harness into....

• Towing Capacities of 2018 Toyota Highlander based on Options
  I did some research on the towing capacities of the 2018 Toyota Highlander and it looks like only the LE model with the 2.7 liter engine is limited to 1,500 lbs of trailer weight whereas the other models with the larger 3.5 liter engine can tow up to 5,000 lbs regardless of if it came with the factory hitch or not. If it's a hybrid the capacity is 3,500 lbs. So the first thing you'd need is a hitch like the etrailer part # e98844 which has a 5,000 lb towing capacity. Then for trailer...

• Trailer Hitch for a 2014 Toyota Highlander
  Since you mention eventually using your hitch to tow, I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98844 because it can be used with a weight distribution system when towing. I have attached a link to the installation instructions if you plan on installing the hitch yourself.

• Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2009 Toyota Highlander Hybrid with Full Sized Spare

If you check out the picture I attached you'll see a full sized spare stowed under the vehicle with the hitch installed. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well.

• Is Trailer Wiring Included With A Trailer Hitch For A 2017 Toyota Highlander SE
  Hi Nhia, The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98844 is not going to come with trailer wiring so you will need to purchase it separately. For your 2017 Highlander SE I recommend the Curt # 56042 if you have the factory tow package; for non-tow package models you'll need the Tekonsha # 118449 instead. If you plan on towing a trailer with electric brakes then you'll need to go with the Tekonsha # 22119 instead for a 7-way and would also need a brake controller.

• Brake Controller Installation in 2013 Toyota Highlander
  According to my research, the Toyota Highlander doesn't have the connector under the dash to install a brake controller. In order to install your brake controller, you'll need to hardwire the controller using our Brake Controller Installation Kit, part # ETBC7. The kit contains everything needed to install a brake controller, except for the brake controller itself. The Tekonsha P3, part # 90195 would be an excellent choice. The controls and display are very user-friendly, which makes it...

• Purpose of Black ModuLite Box That Comes with T-One 118449 for a 2019 Toyota Highlander
  The black ModuLite box that comes with the Tekonsha T-One # 118449 for your 2019 Toyota Highlander not only includes the connections needed to activate the trailer light wiring on your vehicle, but it also combines the light functions (like what almost every trailer uses), pulls 12V power directly from the battery so as to not strain your vehicle circuits, and provides protection in the case that your trailer wiring fails. To establish whether or not you have the tow package just look for...

• Does Curt Trailer Hitch # 13534 Stick Out Beyond the Bumper on a 2012 Toyota Highlander
  On the Toyota Highlander models on which we have installed Curt trailer hitch # 13534, we have found that from the center of the hitch pin hole back to the rear bumper is approximately 2 inches. This would put the receiver face just about flush with the rear bumper. However, there may be some subtle differences between models, even in the same year that could result in the receiver face being at most only a few inches, so you should not have any issues. I have included a link to a video...

• Trailer Hitch and Wiring for a 2015 Toyota Highlander with Full Size Spare Tire
  Curt, the manufacturer, used to say that trailer hitch # C13200 is compatible with the full size spare tire on the 2015 Toyota Highlander. But with the caveat that when raising or lowering the spare you will need to angle it some to clear the hitch instead of just straight up or down. Now they are saying that it fits if the vehicle has the mini spare but not the full sized spare. If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with...

• Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring That Activates The Hazards When Using The Right Turn Signal
  Hey Justin, When you say it's triggering the hazards what exactly do you mean? Is it flashing the smaller clearance lights on the trailer? Is it just on the right side or the whole trailer? Most likely the converter box for the trailer wiring harness on your Highlander is malfunctioning and sending the wrong signal back to the trailer. You can't do much to fix this unfortunately besides replacement if this is the case. If you have the factory towing package you can swap out the wiring...
