Question:

2006 Toyota Highlander Does this hitch extend past the bumper? Would like to find one that does not extend past the bumper. I saw one once with a numner K78229 on it that didnt extend past the bumper, but cannot find it on the web. thanks

Expert Reply:

All of the hitches available for the 2006 Toyota Highlander are designed with the end of the receiver very close to flush with the back of the rear bumper. The hitch itself will not extend past the bumper, without a drawbar installed in the hitch.

I have posted a photo that should help you visualize where the receiver on the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch, item # 75153, will be placed. I have also provided links to instructions and a installation video for you to review.

The K78229 hitch, that you referenced, does not show up in any of the research materials I have to match it to a vehicle or manufacturer.
