Helpful Expert Reply:

For your 2009 Toyota Highlander Hybrid that has the full size 19 inch spare you'd want the Curt hitch part # 13534 as it is the one that fits the best with the large spares like what you have. If you check out the picture I attached you'll see a full sized spare stowed under the vehicle with the hitch installed.

I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well.

The best anti-rattle device we have is the part # 63232 which will fit and work well. For trailer wiring you'd want the Tekonsha kit part # 118449. This brand of trailer wiring harness has proven to us to be the most reliable so we recommend it the highest.
