Question:
Will your C99FR and C45CR fit a 2022 Toyota Highlander XLE?
asked by: Michael D
Expert Reply:
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C99FR and Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C45CR are both fits for a 2022 Toyota Highlander XLE. The main difference between them is that the former has a hidden crosstube and the latter has a visible crosstube. The hidden crosstube will provide a better overall finish once installed so this is what I recommend. I have attached a photo of each below, the first being the hidden and the second being the visible.
Please note, if you'll be towing then you'll also need a few other things such as a wiring harness like the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # TK99FR and ball mount/hitch ball like the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches part # C45534.
