Very simple install, and fits my 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander Limited perfectly. Hardest part is just getting it into place until you get the bolts in place. Tried the jack, but found it was easier for my wife and I to hold it up until I got the bolts started.



by:

Fit was perfect for the grand Highlander. The provided bolts and washers were high quality steel. I was able to install it myself without lifting the vehicle and used a jack and blocks to hold it up while I put the bolts in.

2026 Toyota Grand Highlander

Fit perfectly, and easy to install. The video provided a great overview, and I didn't run into any surprises. Probably took me 10-15 minutes in total, with my wife helping to support the hitch while I was under the car engaging the bolts.

Easy install on my 2025 Grand Highlander … even for a senior!! I managed to get the hitch situated under the vehicle and then raised it with extra pavers I had around. Got the furthest bolts threaded by hand, then raised the tongue end by putting in a teceiver and used a board to provide leverage with my knee while threading the other bolt. One all bolts were in, torqued them tight as per instructions. Took me about 1 1/2 hours total by myself. Love etrailer … have purchased from them previously and have never been disappointed!

Installed hitch on a 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid. Hitch installed very easily and took less than an hour. I balanced the hitch on a motorcycle/atv lift placed in the center of the hitch which made it much easier to lift into place and get the bolts in, but would have been faster with a 2nd person.

I enlisted the help of my grandson to do the installation of the hitch on my 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid Max. The fit was perfect and only took about 20 minutes. The hitch did suffer a few scratches during shipment but I touched them up with some flat black spray paint.

This is by far the easiest trailer hitch receiver I have ever installed. Plenty of room to work on the Grand Highlander. Highly recommend getting this and doing it yourself if you’re on the fence.



by:

What can I say, best hitch purchasing experience I have ever encountered. The communication has been the best I have had in a long time purchasing a product.Delivered when promised. Bolted up in fifteen minutes perfect fit and the bike rack is ready to roll. Thanks and a special shout out to Jaimie.

Excellent service, very good communication, and the delivery was very fast. I will continue shopping here. Highly recommended—thank you!

Great fitment and ease of installation

Perfect fit for my 2024 Lexus TX 350. Because of the snug fit before even adding bolts, I was able to install it myself in 30 minutes without the assistance of a jack stand or another person. Fast delivery. Customer service was responsive and quickly helpful to my questions.



by:

My order arrived ontime and as indicated when I ordered it. The hitch directions were clear and easy to understand. I had installed a receiver on my other vehicle in the past, so I had some experience with installing one. Overall, great purchase!

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2026 Grand Highlander Hybrid Limited
    Hey Eric. Welcome back and congrats on the new SUV. The Curt item # C26VV is listed as fitting the 2026 Grand Highlander but I have a better option for your 2026 Grand Highlander Hybrid Limited. It's our etailer item # e69ZV. We've actually already gotten a chance to install this on a 2026 Grand Highlander Hybrid Limited and I've linked the installation video for you below. The etrailer item # e69ZV is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. Like the Curt item # C26VV it also has a 500 lbs...

  • Will etrailer Hitch Fit 2025 Lexus TX 550h+
    Hey Kenneth! Yes, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e69ZV will fit your 2025 Lexus TX 550h+. I understand the hesitation since this fits other make/models but I can tell you it has been tested and confirmed on the 550h+. Your kick sensor may be limited, or functionality may be lost, with the installation of the hitch. This is true for any aftermarket hitch you choose to install on your 550h+. However, complete loss of functionality is incredibly rare. More than likely you will have...

  • Recommended Hitch and Wiring Harness for a 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander
    Hey Todd, congrats on the new SUV. To add a class III hitch to your 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander, I recommend our etrailer item # e69ZV.

  • Will The etrailer Hitch e69ZV Interfere With The Kick Sensor On A 2026 Lexus TX 350?
    Hi Ken! The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e69ZV technically will interfere with that kick sensor on your 2026 Lexus TX 350, but the function will not be lost. You will just need to kick on either side of the receiver tube to find where it will be actuated. It will likely take a few times to get used to it, but it will be second nature after that. What are you planning on using the hitch for?

  • What Trailer Hitch and Wiring do I Need for My 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander?
    Hello Clayton, We get this question a lot about hitches. There is always the possibility that a hitch can interfere with the hands-free lift gate, but you can typically move your foot to the right or left of the receiver to get it to still work. You’re in luck because we’ve already gotten our hands on a 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander, and we have proof on the product page that the lift gate still functions! I’ve attached a couple of pictures of Jesse showing that you can still use the hands-free...

  • Best Trailer Hitch For 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander Max Hybrid Platinum
    Hello Mike, thanks for reaching out. We do offer a trailer hitch for the 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander Max Hybrid Platinum. For that I recommend the following: - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e69ZV. This comes with everything needed to install. The receiver sits right underneath the bumper, so no bumper cover is needed. The hitch will not block the rear kick sensor if present. Sometimes if the sensor is located directly above the hitch,...

  • Comparing Curt and etrailer Hitch for 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander
    Hey Jack! That is a great question that comes up pretty often. The Curt # C26VV and our own # e69ZV actually share the same design. The specs are all going to be the same so the main difference is in the finish. The Curt hitch has a glossy finish and the etrailer hitch has the matte black finish. I prefer the matte black since it does a better job hiding dirt and also tends to blend in better with OEM trim on vehicles. If the finish doesn't matter to you I would go with whichever one...

  • Can etrailer Hitch Carry Vertical Bike Rack on 2026 Toyota Grand Highlander
    Hey Jason! The etrailer # e69ZV and Curt hitch do share the same design. Our hitch has the same restrictions so you do not want to use it for that bike rack. Instead, you can use the TowSmart Trailer Hitch Receiver # TS48QR. This also has a higher tongue weight capacity at 675 lbs so it can handle more of that vertical force from the Lolo rack. I also recommend adding an anti-rattle # e38FV to help reduce the extra movement that comes with a vertical bike rack. What kind of bikes are...
