Question:

I need a tow hitch and a ball and bike rack attachments. Do you provide the tow hitch with compatible ball and bike attachments so I can buy them all at once for a 2021 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Platinum. Any assistance would be appreciated

We are going to have everything you need for your 2021 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Platinum.

First the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e75ZR is custom fit for your Highlander. This receiver is rated for a tongue weight up to 500lbs and will tow a trailer up to 5,000lbs. Be sure to not exceed any capacities given by Toyota for your specific Highlander. I have linked the installation video for a 2020 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Premium below so you can see how the receiver fits and is installed.

The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # TK99FR will allow you to control the lights on small trailers that use a 4-way flat connector. You can also use Auxiliary Lights # C53201 with the 4-way in the event your bikes impair the view of your tail lights when they are loaded. The Mounting Bracket # C58001 will allow you to secure the 4-way to the end of the receiver for easy access.

I recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900 as it includes 2 ball mounts along with a 1-7/8" hitch ball and 2" hitch ball. Having the 2 ball mounts allows you to select the mount with the correct drop or rise for the trailer and the correct size hitch ball. Two hitch receiver pins are also included with the storage bag.

Finally the Kuat Sherpa 2.0 Bike Rack for 2 Bikes # SH22B. This is a very light rack at only 32lbs that makes loading and unloading the carrier very easy. It uses wheel clamps to hold 2 bikes up to 40lbs each in place. You can also tilt the carrier away when you need to access your rear storage area without having to remove the bikes.
