The products I ordered arrived on time and as expected. I have not had time yet to install them. the video's are very helpful and shoe me what to expect during installation.

Wow! What a great experience dealing with etrailer.com. I received the hitch and wiring harness and it took longer to pull the staples out of the box than it did to install all of the parts. It is all in now and waiting to hook up the boat trailer and do some fishing. I can't say enough as to how pleased I am. If backing up the trailer goes as well as the installation, I will be grinning for the rest of my life.

Trailer hitch and wiring harness I ordered for my 2002 Highlander fit and worked perfectly.lt came in perfect condition in only 3 days.
Will definitely order from etrailer again.

Extremely easy to install, even came with a fuse for the trailer lights!
Highly recommended doesn't get much easier to install

This product is intended as a replacement piece for your factory 4 way flat.



by:

Replacement for my 2002 4Runner. After 20 yrs and a splice you’d have to imagine there would be some degradation to the OEM harness. The OEM harness had gotten pretty finicky. This was a direct plug and play kit. It plugs in near the driver’s rear corner, route it, a few zip ties and everything is G2G.



by:
2001 Toyota 4Runner

Product was delivered on time and included in the box with my new DrawTite hitch. I'm looking forward to installing my hitch and electrical harness this weekend. Hitch was boxed well - no damage. Thank you.



by:

This product was shipped to me with two wires reversed. It cost me $[XX] for the Toyota dealer to troubleshoot the problem and find that two wires were reversed. I am not happy.



by:

The wiring harness was a good thing ,easy to install came the instructions it just plugged right in, zip tie it and was done thank you



by:
2002 Toyota 4Runner

Very fast shipping exactly what I was looking for easy instill took 10 min but would have taking 5 min if I got the bracket for the 4 pin to mount but I didn't had to reuse the old one will and already recommend etrailer.com to friends



by:

Harness itself is extremely high quality as well as the connector for it. I only gave it 4 stars because it is about 1 foot longer than it really needs to be for the car. Not s big deal but since it’s vehicle specific I’d like it to be a little shorter to fit the application better. Overall I’d recommend though, it’s high quality and works great!



by:

Came quickly. No damage. Hitch went on without a hitch. Electrical connection was very easy to install. Works great!



by:
2002ToyotaHighlander

super easy to install, so glad my Toyota was pre-wired. Easy to tell if you open the spare tire area you will see a blue towing controller box.



by:
ToyotaHighlander

Part was delivered quickly and in good condition. Fit was perfect and did what I needed it to do on a Highlander with a factory tow package.



by:
2002 Lexus RX 300

Perfect fit! Even at 21 years old the Lexus was ready to go with no difficulties and this tow hitch lined up perfectly and flawlessly. Fluid filmed the metals before encasing them.



by:

Simple plug and play. Couldn’t ask for anything simpler



by:

Perfect replacement fit for an OEM part that had seen better days. 3 minute install.

Ditto on the lighting cable. Curt and Toyota made it easy.

  • Recommended 7-Way, 4-Way, and 5-Way Combo Trailer Connector for a 2005 Lexus LX470
    KC, I'd still replace the factory 4 way with # C55245, but then swap the 7 way you have with the Hopkins Endurance Multi-Tow 7-, 5- and 4-Way Flat Trailer Connector # HM48470.

  • Recommended Hitch and Wiring Harness for a 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander
    Yes, we have the wiring harness and you can order it in addition to the item # C26VV hitch for your 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander. Whether you have the plug and play connectors will depend on if your Highlander has the towing package. If you have the tow package you will need the Curt item # C55245. If your Grand Highlander does not have the tow package then there is no plug and play option and you'll need to use the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter item # C59236. The easiest way to...

  • How To Determine If 2003 Toyota Highlander Has The Factory Tow Package
    if your 2003 Toyota Highlander has a tow package plug located in the driver's side rear cargo area under the floor (see instructions for installing Item # 118413 on where to look) then your Highlander has the tow package. If you find a plug, use a circuit tester like Item # PTW2993 to check to see if it is active. If you do not find a plug or the one you find is not active, then you do not have a tow package. Another way to find out is to contact your local Toyota dealer, give them...

  • Does Wiring Harness for 2001 Lexus RX 300 for Factory Tow Package Require Programming
    The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package # C55245 does not require any programming as it is a simple replacement for the factory 4-flat on your 2001 Lexus RX 300; it does require the fuse be put into the location shown in the accompanying photo I added from the linked installation instructions. If you did not already have the factory 4-flat then this wiring harness would not work and you would instead need the Vehicle Wiring Harness # C59496.

  • Need Hitch And Wiring For A 2020 Toyota Highlander Limited AWD
    Hello Geoffrey. For your 2020 Toyota Highlander Limited AWD I recommend the etrailer Class 3 Hitch # e75ZR. This hitch will be compatible with your T165/90D18 temporary tire. Anything larger than an 18" wheel would not fit, but you will be able to continue to store your spare under the vehicle with this hitch installed. As far as the kick sensor, the hitch may interfere with it slightly. In almost every case, the sensor will still function, it will just work a bit differently. Instead...

  • Trailer Lights Wont Work After Wiring Harness Install on a 2001 Lexus RX300
    There are two types of wiring harnesses for your 2001 Lexus RX300, one if you have the factory tow package and one if you do not have the factory tow package. In order to determine if you have the factory tow package you would need to call the manufacturer and provide them with your VIN as they will be the only ones that will know whether or not the circuits are active for the factory tow package. What we run into is that customers will find the factory tow plug on their vehicle and then...

  • Product Comparison Between Vehicle Wiring Harness C55245 vs 118245 for a 2001 Lexus LX 470
    I can help compare the # C55245 and the # 118245. These two wiring harnesses are designed to do the same job for wiring up your 2001 Lexus LX-470 the only real difference is the manufacture that they are distributed from. The # 118245 is designed and distributed by Tow Ready a company owned by Cequent Manufacturing and the # C55245 is designed and distributed by Curt Manufacturing. Both harnesses plug in the same way and provide a 4 pole connector for your vehicle end. For your vehicle...

    Your photo did not come through to us with your question, but we appreciate that effort! The Curt Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring Kit you referenced, part # C55245, is intended for vehicles that have the factory tow package installed. The connector that mates to the OEM wiring on your Highlander is indeed a 4-pin square type as you note. This connector is typically found at the rear underside of the vehicle. It may be that your truck has been modified (or that Toyota made a running change) but...

    We have exactly what you're looking for. For a 4 way trailer connector you can use the Curt # C55245 or if you need both a 4 way and 7 way, you can use the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 7-Way and 4-Flat Connectors # HM11143910. Both of these harnesses will plug into the vehicle's existing towing package harness and provide you with the plugs you need to power your trailer's lights.

  • Why Wont Trailer Wiring Harness Work on 2002 Lexus LX 470
    There are 2 different Curt trailer wiring harnesses for your 2002 Lexus LX 470. If the vehicle did not come with the factory tow package then you would need # C59236. If it does have the factory tow package you would use # C55245. If you are not sure, have a Lexus dealer run the VIN number to tell you how it is equipped. Please note that even if a model has the connection point for harness # C55245 it may not be active if the vehicle does not have the factory tow package. You can also...

  • Does a 2022 Toyota Highlander Need to be Flashed After Curt Aftermarket Wiring Installation?
    Hey Mike, thanks for reaching out! You won't need to have the 2022 Highlander flashed after installing the Curt T-Connector # C55245. This installs on a vehicle that already has the factory tow package so it should activate after installing the fuse. If you're having issues with the plug working after the installation, then I recommend removing the Curt plug and using a circuit tester to test the pins on the OEM plug to see if the functions are getting that far. Let me know what you find!
