I received the hitch receiver and installed it myself. I would recommend lifting the car and a 2nd set of hands. Receiver is thick gauge and heavy duty. The black looks clean and the bar hides behind the bumper, only showing the actual receiver stem.

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 :)]

Quick delivery, super easy install… packaging definitely leaves something to desire though… thankfully small parts were securely taped to the hitch and the hitch survived UPS lol.

Pro tip. Deep sockets can be a very tight fit on the passenger side bolts (specific to the grand highlander) so recommend having a shallow socket.

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:

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

Installed in an hour on a 2025 Lexus tx500h. Instructions were straightforward and customer service from the time I ordered through delivery was second to none.



by:
2026 Lexus TX 550h Plus

Product came in with thick plastic bag wrapped around the tube and hitch receiver. The part that you bolt to your suv/truck had only packing tape. As UPS truck delivery guy took it from the back of truck, I heard it clunking and pray that nothing is bent or damaged.



by:

Package great for shipping and easy to install yourself



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.

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.

Great product. Easy to install



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:

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:

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.

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

The delivery was awesome!! Ordered on Sunday and received on Wed. even during the holiday season!!
The installation went very well. I wasn't 100% sure that the wiring harness would fit my 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid MAX. Your website stated that the fit "hasn't been confirmed"...I took a chance and it fit perfectly. The rear bumper 4 pin connector was a bit of a challenge to access....mainly because of my XXL hand! The 10 pin wiring connector under the interior cup holder was a piece of cake.....only had to remove the cup holder to access the connector...no screws to remove as the instructions stated. There was plenty of room to "park" the wiring and convertor box. I installed the hitch solo...it took a little time but was manageable (only a little cussing). After everything was installed I tested the lights..all OK. I finally checked to see if the kick sensor on the rear hatch would work...again, OK. Only issue with the kick sensor is that the sensing range has decreased somewhat. Tried to attach a photo...no luck.

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:

Fit the vehicle well. Easy to install.

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.

Great fit, easy install

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

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

  • 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...

  • 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....

  • 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...

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.

  • 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...

    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.

  • 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...

    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.

Since the kick sensor is centered on the bumper, once the Curt hitch part # C26VV is installed on your 2025 Lexus TX 350 you will just have to kick to either side of the hitch to activate it.
