Question:

Hi, I have a 2023 Highlander Platinum AWD. I see where you recommend the # e75ZR and the # EH35VR. Can you confirm which recommended for this model? Also, is there any bumper trimming around the hitch or do these models fit right below the bumper? Thanks.

Expert Reply:

The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # DT84MR and etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e75ZR are both fits for a 2023 Toyota Highlander Platinum. There is trimming required of underbody panels for both models, but not really the actual bumper. I have attached photo of this below, the first is of the Draw-Tite and the second is of the etrailer. It's pretty minor for either so not a big deal and it's required for all hitch options on this vehicle.

The main difference between the two is that the Draw-Tite has a bracket for the trailer connector so if you'll be towing then I recommend this but otherwise I recommend the etrailer.

Please note, if you will be towing then you'll also need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # TK99FR and Curt Towing Starter Kit part # C45534.
