Question:
Which trailer hitch will be best for my 2019 Toyota Highlander to tow a boat?

Expert Reply:
The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2019 Toyota Highlander to tow a boat is the Curt part # C13200 as it has plenty of towing capacity for your boat at 6,000 lbs total trailer weight, and can be used with a weight distrubution system if you ever need one. This raises the hitch capacity to 8,000 lbs, but you would have to check your owner's manual to see the towing capacity of your Highlander. It is most likely lower than even the 6,000 rating and you will need to go by that lower rating. I attached an install video of this hitch for you to check out as well.
Then for trailer wiring the Tekonsha kit part # 118449 is easy to install and also very reliable.
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.
