Features to know about

Installs Without Cutting or Splicing: Plug-In T-Connector Harness

Wiring up trailer lights doesn’t have to mean tracking down and cutting into factory wires. The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector plugs directly into the tail light connections using factory-style connectors. It’s a simple plug-and-play setup that keeps everything neat and reversible with no wire splicing required.

Adds a 4-Flat Connector for Basic Trailer Lighting: Ready to Tow

This harness gives you a standard 4-flat trailer connector that powers running lights, turn signals, and brake lights. It’s the common connection used for small utility trailers, campers, and boat trailers. Once connected, you’ll have reliable lighting communication between your vehicle and trailer for safe on-road visibility.

Powered Converter Protects Vehicle Electronics: Clean, Reliable Signal Transfer

The built-in powered converter helps isolate and protect sensitive vehicle wiring from trailer current draw. It pulls power directly from the battery through a fused line, so the trailer lights get full power without straining the vehicle circuits. This design helps prevent lighting faults or blown fuses during towing.

Straightforward Install in Your Driveway: No Lift Needed

There’s no special equipment required to install this harness—just basic tools and access to the tail light area. The connectors snap securely in place, and the included power wire routes up to the battery. Most folks can complete the job on the ground in their own driveway without any hassle.

Does the job as expected.



by:

This Curt T-Connector wiring harness was relatively easy to install on my 2020 Highlander. I tried the behind-the-taillight version and it was a no-go. After a year of use I haven't had any problems.



by:

I wish I had bought a towing package with my new Highlander regardless of the cost. Then it would have been plug and play and no concern. I routed the wiring to the best of my ability to hug the bottom of the car but know that if I ever drive off the pavement (and I use my car for everything) there is the risk of something snagging the power wire. I also found regular butt connectors vs heat shrink sort of cheesy - did not use. Was also very nervous in removing tail lights and re-installing. Only takes one break of something to wish you had never gone this route.



by:

The harness is very good quality and the actual connections area snap but getting to the connectors behind the tail lights was not easy for me. There are no videos made yet for the 2020 and 2021 highlander installation and the instructions are not comprehensive on the body panel separation needed at the tail lights to get to the connectors. I was concerned that I was going break something. I did two additional things for my installation also. First I enclosed the wire from the battery in a 3/8 plastic wire loom slit tubing for added protection, and secondly, I did not use the crimp connectors that came with the kit but soldered and heat shrunk those connections instead. I also put a drop of solder on the pre made white ground wire connector. I made sure all the wiring was secured with zip ties as best as possible wherever I could get to it. It’s not difficult per say to install this kit but it was time consuming for me and a bit nerve racking behind the taillights. Final result: works great!

  • Does Installation of Trailer Wiring Harness on 2020 Toyota Highlander Void Vehicle Warranty
    Good question, and the installation of any aftermarket parts such as a trailer wiring harness will not void the warranty on your 2020 Toyota Highlander Hybrid, or any other vehicle. The reason for that is because you are protected by what is called the Federal Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act. This act says if something breaks on your vehicle and you take it in for warranty repair, the dealer must honor your warranty unless whatever you have added to your vehicle or its installation actually...

    Hello Mike, Thanks for writing in. The Trailer Mate Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # TMT67FR is going to be a great fit for your 2020 Toyota Highlander.

  • How to Tell if 2020 Toyota Highlander XLE Has Factory Tow Wiring
    The 2 easiest ways to tell if your 2020 Toyota Highlander XLE has the factory tow wiring is to either check behind the paneling next to the 3rd row seating on the driver's side to see if a connector is there that the Curt # C56RV module plugs into, or to reach out to your local Toyota dealer with your VIN and they can get that info for you. If you don't have the factory wiring then you need the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C76CR which tees in behind your tail lights and pulls...

  • Correct Trailer Hitch for a 2021 Toyota Highlander XSE
    I called Curt and confirmed the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C99FR is a fit for a 2021 Toyota Highlander XSE. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C45CR is not a fit for XSE models. The former was redesigned for the XSE. In order to complete this setup you'll need the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C76CR, Brake Controller Install Kit part # ETBC7L, and the Curt Echo part # C51180.

  • Troubleshooting Curt Trailer Wiring Harness Not Active at All
    If you installed the Curt harness part # C76CR on your vehicle and it's acting like it's not active that would most likely indicate that you didn't run the red wire to the battery or even more likely the fuse didn't get installed in the fuse holder. I'd check those two things.

    We have just what you're looking for. If you don't already have a 4 way plug on your 2020 Toyota Highlander, you'll need to start by installing one, since those provide the base connections needed to install a 7 way. For the 4 way plug you'll want to use the Curt # C76CR, which will tee into your driver and passenger side tail lights. If you've already got the 4 way connector, you'll just need the 7 way which can be installed using the # ETBC7. The ETBC7 will plug into the 4 way and once...

  • 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...

  • Recommended Ball Mount for Towing 5x8 Rental Trailer With 2020 Toyota Highlander
    The U-haul 5x8 trailer has a maximum GVWR (maximum recommended weight of trailer plus contents) of 2700 lbs. The trailer's tongue weight, which could be anywhere from 100 to 400 or so lbs will cause the rear suspension of your Highlander to squat to a certain degree. I'd go with a ball mount that provides a 2 inch rise to account for the anywhere between 1-3 inches of squat you'll experience. This will leave the trailer close enough to level that everything will work fine. We offer the...

  • Hitch Install for 2020 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Regarding Fascia Trimming
    This Curt # C99FR Hitch is verified to fit your 2020 Toyota Highlander. There is some minor trimming on a plastic under body panel located underneath the vehicle between the back bumper and the spare. It is a simple procedure that most of our customers do with tin snips.

  • Does Bumper Have to Be Removed to Install a Trailer hitch on a 2020 Toyota Highlander XLE FWD?
    All of the hitches available for your 2020 Toyota Highlander do not require removal of the rear bumper, including the Curt # C99FR you were looking at. However, there is a plastic underbody panel on the driver's side that has to be removed. Once the hitch is installed, the underbody panel can be left off or trimmed to fit around the hitch and put back in place. You can check out the installation process for this hitch in the video linked below. If you are looking to tow a trailer with...

  • Which Hitch is Least Likely to Interfere w/ the Lift Gate Function on a 2020 Toyota Highlander?
    There isn't a hitch made that won't interfere somewhat with the functionality of the hands free liftgate sensor. However, the Curt Trailer Hitch item # C99FR will cause the least amount of interference from the available hitches. What we have found out from testing after the hitch is installed is you will need to kick to the left or right of the receiver to find an area where the sensor is not blocked. The reason I chose the C99FR over the other options is that only the receiver portion...

    The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e75ZR is rated 5 out of 10 for installation difficulty, which is the same as the EcoHitch # EH35VR. They both offer hidden crosstubes for a clean look. I actually prefer the etrailer hitch # e75ZR over the EcoHitch because I like that the receiver tube is matte black so that the part that does show, blends in better than the glossy finish of the other hitches. The etrailer hitch has a 500lbs tongue weight and 5,000lb trailer weight ratings, while...
