Expert Reply:

The Draw-Tite Max-E-Loader Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT65MR referenced in your question, which is confirmed to fit your 2017 Toyota Highlander, can be installed by any qualified mechanic in your area without issue. If you feel comfortable enough with cars, you may also choose to install the trailer hitch yourself.

I have included an installation video on the 2016 Highlander that can be used for reference as well as the written instructions. Keep in mind that trimming or removal of the underbody panel will be required for installation.
