Will a 2014 Highlander hitch fit a 2023 Highlander?

Expert Reply:

The 2014 Toyota Highlander is a 3rd generation model while the 2023 Toyota Highlander is the most recent 4th generation model so you'll need a different trailer hitch than what's on a 2014, and for that I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e75ZR.

This has yet to be test fit on a 2023 model (as of October 2022) but it's designed to fit the 2022 model which is the same generation as yours. I like this hitch because it has the hidden crosstube as well as the matte black finish - this gives you a combination of looking really clean but also being more durable than the standard glossy black finish we see on the other hitches.

Normally vehicle owner's will also install wiring when getting a hitch so if that's the case for you then you'll need part # TK74FR if your Highlander has the factory tow package or part # TK99FR if it doesn't have the factory tow package. I recommend using the mounting brackets # 18144 and # C57202 to secure the wiring to your hitch.

If you let me know what you plan on using the hitch for I can make some additional recommendations for you!
