This Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver (part #13530) opens up a lot of options for hauling gear. With a 3,500-lb maximum gross trailer weight and 350-lb tongue weight, it’s built for towing small campers, boats, and utility trailers. When used with weight distribution, the hitch can handle up to 4,000 lbs GTW and 400 lbs TW. The 2" x 2" receiver fits most standard accessories like bike racks, cargo carriers, and ball mounts—so you can switch easily between towing and carrying setups.
The hitch’s powder-coated steel construction gives it the durability needed for long-term use. A gloss black powder coat sits over a protective base layer to resist rust better than standard finishes. The round-tube design adds a clean look under the bumper while still being solid enough for regular towing tasks.
You don’t need welding or fabrication tools to install this hitch. It bolts directly onto the frame using the included hardware kit and instructions. The custom-fit design means the mounting holes line up precisely where they should, keeping the process straightforward whether you’re doing it in the driveway or garage.
If you plan on towing heavier loads, this hitch is set up for weight distribution systems rated up to 4,000 lbs GTW and 400 lbs TW. It pairs well with setups like the Fastway e2 # FA92-00-0600 that use clamp-on brackets to control sway and improve stability on the road. The standard 2" receiver also accepts common accessories—from bike racks to cargo trays—so you can get more utility out of your vehicle without extra adapters or special mounts.

The trailer hitch is still working just fine and the paint or powder coat is holding up perfectly.

Daryl-Is one still able to remove the spare tire if the hitch is blocking the spare?

You will still be able to access the spare tire on your 2007 Toyota Highlander after installing Curt Class III Trailer Hitch 13530. If you refer to the linked photo you can see the hitch and tire positions after installation. The spare can be removed for a tire change by simply letting the forward edge first and then maneuvering the tire past the exhaust and the hitch cross tube.

What was the single wire for if you use one of the installation kits that just plug in the rear?
