According to my research, the Toyota Highlander doesn't have the connector under the dash to install a brake controller. In order to install your brake controller, you'll need to hardwire the controller using our Brake Controller Installation Kit, part # ETBC7. The kit contains everything needed to install a brake controller, except for the brake controller itself. The Tekonsha P3, part # 90195 would be an excellent choice. The controls and display are very user-friendly, which makes it one of our most popular brake controllers.
The install kit includes an adapter that would convert the existing 4-pole trailer connector on your Highlander to a 7-way. If you don't already have the 4-pole, you'll need part # 56042 if you already have the converter plugged in under the dash (I'll provide a photo showing where it would be plugged in) or # 118449 if you do NOT already have the converter.
If you click the provided links, you can see the instructions for the install kit, and an install video showing a brake controller being installed on a 2013 Highlander.
