Does Curt Hitch for 2012 Toyota Highlander Require Bending Hitch to Fit Vehicle
Updated 06/15/2020 | Published 06/11/2020 >
Question:
Regarding Item # 13534 - Curtis hitch for 2012 Highlander. Based on the reviews, does any Curtis hitches fit the right way out of the box or do they all require a crowbar or some other force to get it to fit? Thank you

Expert Reply:
In general our hitches do not require bending or prying to fit vehicles like the Curt # 13534 that fits your 2012 Toyota Highlander. In rare occasions hitches will get bend in shipping which causes them to need to be bent back (as long as there isn't paint flaking or creasing of metal). I attached an install video for this hitch on a similar 2012 Highlander and we didn't have to bend the hitch at all.
