I recommend the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH35VR for your 2022 Toyota Highlander XSE with AWD. This receiver is made in the USA with an alloy of recycled materials which combines aluminum, steel, and stainless steel. The receiver is rated or up to 750lbs of tongue weight and a trailer weight up to 5,000lbs. Be sure to not exceed any manufacturer specifications.

Depending on what you plan to use the hitch for will help decide the wiring harness. We have the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # TK99FR that will give you a 4-way flat connector. This is most commonly used on small utility and boat trailers that do not require trailer brakes or use surge brakes. It can also be used with Auxiliary Lights # C53201 on hitch mounted accessories.

For larger trailers with electric brakes or tear drop trailers that need a charge line the Tekonsha OEM Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness w Brake Controller Adapter # TK57VR will give you the common 7-way connector. This will also allow you to add a Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty Brake Controller # RED52VR for controlling electric brakes on a trailer.
