Question:

My 2018 Toyota Highlander Limited has t trailer hitch. Is that sufficient to pull a 6foot by 12foot flat trailer with a 1900 lb four wheeler on it?

I did some checking and it looks like your 2018 Toyota Highlander Limited has a towing capacity of 5,000 lbs so a 1,900 lb trailer wouldn't be a problem at all. Since your vehicle has the towing package you most likely have trailer wiring already, but in case you do not we have the Curt 4-way part # 56042 which is a confirmed fit.

Since you wanted to do 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.
