Expert Reply:
I have two hitches that I recommend for you. I have the Curt Class II Round Tube Reciever Hitch # C13200 and the etrailer - 2016 Toyota Highlander # e98844.
They are both class III hitches and both have a 900 pound tongue weight and 6000 pound towing capacity.
They both have a no-drill installation that will take under 1 hour to accomplish. They both come with a Limited Lifetime warranty.
I have attached review videos of each to help you make a decision.
If you need trailer wiring on your Highlander, we have a couple options there as well. If you have a factory towing package and have the converter under your dash you can use part # 56042.
If you do not have the towing package and there is no converter under the dash, you can use part # 118449. I have attached a link to an installation video for this wiring harness you can take a look at.
If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
I have also attached links to some of the products that will work with a 2 inch trailer receiver. You can use the filters on the pages to find an item you might be interested in. If you have any questions about a specific item just let me know and I will be glad to make some recommendations.
