Question:
Toyota said I would need a converter for the factory hitch does this one require one too?

Expert Reply:
If your Highlander doesn't have the factory tow package, you'll need the two piece trailer wiring harness assembly like the # TK99FR from Tekonsha. The wiring assembly includes both the taillight converter and the 4 pole trailer wiring harness. Both portions of the assembly are necessary if the vehicle wasn't equipped with the tow package.
The Curt # C99FR Class III hitch you'd looked at would be a great choice, you'll also need a ball mount like # D-4 and a trailer ball like # 19260 for a 1-7/8 inch or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball and a Hitch Pin and Clip item # PC3.
I've linked to an installation video for the hitch.
