This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.

by:

Super easy ordering and installation! I marked it down one star only due to the shipping/packaging. It was mainly plastic wrap and there was some scuffing of the hitch. Not a show stopper but it could have been wrapped better. My kick sensor still works fine



by:

Easy install and easy to attach our bike rack. Great price too! Shipping went smoothly and it is packaged well.



by:

I'm not sure if it's from shipping or manufacturing. The hitch plates are about 1 inch too narrow and wouldn't fit. I had to put one ear under an excavator track and bend it two force it open.



by:

Install was straightforward. It was a little challenging getting the hitch into position to put the mounting bolts, but I was able to use a jack and stand.



by:

Super easy installation and zero issues using it for towing and bike rack. Will definitely come back for all my other towing/hitch needs.



by:

Super easy install, and it works exactly as it should! It would be easier to install it with 2 people, but I was able to do it myself utilizing blocks to hold up one side while I fastened the other. Overall, I would definitely recommend this product.



by:

Solid trailer hitch at a great price. The customer service at the time of transaction was excellent as well. One year in and it shows no signs of wear or rust. I currently use it for holding my bike rack and with a carrier for tailgates, but I wouldn't hesitate to pull a trailer with it.



by:

Shipped quickly. The installation video on the website was perfect.



by:

Hitch fit Grand Highlander hybrid. Easy install, just 4 bolts. The threaded holes are already in the frame. Just remove the plastic caps in the holes. I used a jack to help hold it up during install and and extra set of hands. 15 minutes to install. Josh was thorough and followed up on the purchase.

Looks like a perfect fit for the 2025 Highlander! Thank you so much for the photos. Are you carrying anything fun with the new hitch? [I'll be sure to let Josh know he got a shout out from you, too :)]



by:

From the time it was dropped off to being installed and torqued down onto my TX500h was maybe 16 minutes. Very easy and straight forward install.

Wow, 16 minutes was all? That's awesome. Love a straightforward installation. :) Thanks, Jonathan



by:

The unboxed, but heavily wrapped in industrial-strength bubble wrap and padding, receiver arrived completely undamaged. This is a much better shipping solution than an unpadded receiver in an oversize box, which has resulted in paint damage and bent flanges in the past.



by:

I purchased this hitch specifically for my 2026 Grand Highlander Hybrid Limited because it was advertised to not interfere with the trunk kick gate sensor. The product demo video even showed it not interfering with the sensor, however, after we installed the hitch, our kick sensor no longer works. It now does 1 beep followed by 2 quick beeps but will not open the rear gate. In doing research online, this is because the hitch is interfering with the foot sensor. Again, I wouldn't have purchased if I knew it would stop our kick sensor from working.



by:

Trailer hitch fit perfectly on 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander. Arrived in just a few days and was wrapped very well to keep from getting scratched up.



by:

Worked really well for hauling two triathlon bikes up to Santa Cruz, CA and back to Los Angeles. Also, very easy to install.



by:

Exact fit, strong hitch, easy to install, and perfect for supporting our 4 bike carrier.



by:

It was an easy installation. I'll be using it primarily for bike rack.



by:

Perfect Fit, 30 minute installation.



by:

My husband said it was an easy install,
Delivery was super fast, thank you



by:

This was my first time ordering from eTrailer and I couldn't be happier with the customer service, delivery, and product. I will definitely be using them again.



by:

Easy assembly to suv and great hitch !!!



by:

Very nice product

Wooooo … think I’m having second thoughts here, it went out nicely looks good was easy to install, but I just realized that my kick censor does not work even though the Q&A said that it did not interfere with the kick sensor, giving some thoughts to returning the item



by:

Just finished installing this on my wife’s new 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander. Super easy and looks great. Everything lined up perfect. Took about 30 mins. Had my wife help just a little bit holding the opposite end in place just to keep the weight off the bolts so I could tighten up. Goes “up and over” the exhaust. Looks OEM stock. Very solid and feels quality.



by:

Hands down easiest hitch install ever!



by:

Easy install once you find a way to hold it up.



by:

The wonderful folks at UPS must have used it as a boat anchor, it came all scraped up the wrapping job around receiver tube could have been better.

  • Availability Of Trailer Wiring Harness For A 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander
    As far as wiring for the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander, we do have the Curt # C59236 available which is more of a universal hardwire harness. Unfortunately there are not any plug-and-play options that have been confirmed to fit as of yet (October 4, 2023). I would like to think that they would use a similar plug between the Highlander and Grand Highlander models, but it is too soon to say. We have not seen one come thru our shop yet. As soon as we can get our hands on one, or the folks...

  • Will I Be Able to Use the Kick Sensor w/ the Curt Hitch for a 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander?
    Yes, it will! We've sold a few of these and have heard back from some of our customers that have said the Curt Hitch item # C26VV does not affect the functionality of the kick sensor. What typically happens in situations like this is you lose the sensor right around the 2" receiver which isn't a problem because you don't want to be kicking towards it anyways and you have to go to the left or right. The Curt Hitch item # C26VV is custom fit for the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid and...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander
    Yes, we do. To add a hitch to your 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C26VV. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Toyota with included hardware. This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 5,000 lbs towing capacity and a 500 lbs maximum tongue weight. I really like this hitch because the entire crosstube mounts behind the rear bumper. This leaves only the 2" receiver exposed which not only looks better but helps with ground clearance....

    Hey Craig, thanks for reaching out. For starters, the Curt # C26VV is th correct fit for the 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander, as long as you do not have the dual exhaust model. We have sold quite a few of these Curt # C26VV hitches for the Grand Highlander now. We have heard back from several of our customers regarding the kick sensor functionality and here is the scoop. The kick sensor will still work. What happens is the sensor can no longer detect anything directly below the hitch receiver,...

  • Will My Bike Rack with 6.5" Vertical Post Clear My Bumper Using Curt Hitch # C26VV on 24 Highlander?
    Hello Mark, Since you’re using the Curt # C26VV hitch on your 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander, the distance from the hitch pin hole to the edge of the rear bumper is about 4 inches. Your bike rack’s vertical post sits 6.5 inches out from the hitch pin hole, which means you’ll have around 2.5 inches of clearance between the rack and your bumper. So you’re in the clear, no need for a hitch extension. The rack should fit just fine without making contact with the back of the car. What kind of...

  • Will 2025 Lexus TX 500h Sport Kick Sensor Need to be Disable with Hitch Installed?
    Hey Le, thanks for reaching out! The etrailer # e67MV and Curt # C26VV hitches that fit your 2025 Lexus TX 500h Sport will likely get in the way of the kick sensor. You won't need to disable it, but you might need to kick with a back-and-forth motion instead of a swiping motion in order to get them to pick up the movement of your foot. We've gotten mixed reviews on whether or not the kick sensor will actually still work with a hitch installed, but you at least know you won't need to disable...

  • Can Hitch For 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander be Installed on 2024 Lexus TX350
    Hi Richard, I took a look and the hitch manufacturers have not test fit a hitch from a 2024 Grand Highlander on a 2024 Lexus TX350, nor have we. However, I did some digging for you and found there is a hitch for a '24 Grand Highlander that people have put on the '24 Lexus TX350, which is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C26VV. So while there isn't an "official" fit, the # C26VV is one that has been successfully put on the '24 TX350.

    No, none at all. Installing the Curt Hitch item # C26VV, on a 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander, is about an easy of an installation as you can get. You just have to pop out a couple of weld nut plugs on either side and hold the hitch up. It would be easier with someone to help though. The Curt Hitch item # C26VV has been confirmed to fit the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid Limited. It fits all models of the 2024 except the ones with dual exhaust.

  • Will Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver Impact Functionality of Kick Sensor on 2025 Toyota Grand Highlander
    Hey Len! The kick sensor will continue to work with the Curt # C26VV installed on your 2025 Grand Highlander. What typically happens is the area right around the receiver is blocked but you really don't want to kick your foot at the receiver anyway. If you swipe your foot across underneath like you normally would (below the receiver of course) it will trigger the sensor. Worst case you would have to place your foot on either side of the receiver but the functionality will not be lost. What...

  • Is There A Bolt-On Hitch That Does Not Require Cutting Plastic Parts For A 2024 Toyota Highlander?
    There are two hitches available for the 2024 Toyota Highlander, the etrailer Class 3 Hitch # e75ZR and the Curt # C99FR. These hitches are virtually identical, and while it is a direct bolt-on install, it will require removal of the plastic underbody panel. The underbody panel must be trimmed in order to be reinstalled. So if you do not want to cut the panel you could just leave it off.

All of the hitches we offer for the 2024 Toyota Highlander, like the Curt # C99FR will require removal or trimming of the plastic underbody panel. I wish we could offer you an option that does not require cutting but unfortunately there is nothing available.
