Question:

Another site says this will fit my 2007 Highlander, is that true? looks very different from the ones your site say will fit.

Draw-Tite, the manufacturer of trailer hitch # 75726, lists it as a fit for 2008 to 2013 Toyota Highlanders so I cannot recommend it for a 2007 model. The Draw-Tite equivalent for the 2007 is # 75153. I have linked a video showing an example installation of this hitch for you.

If you plan on doing some towing I recommend 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 have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

And for trailer wiring, if your Highlander came with the factory tow package you can use # 118248 to add a 4-Way connector. If it did not come with the factory tow package and is not a hybrid use # 118413. If it is a hybrid without the tow package use # C59236.
