Question:
I want a Class 3 trailer hitch for my 2023 Toyota Highlander Limited that has a 5000 lb rating and will fit with a 20 wheel/temporary spare under the vehicle. Does such a thing exist. Does a Toyota brand hitch work with the spare? Thanks.

The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch item # EH35VR you were looking at is the only hitch available for your 2023 Toyota Highlander Limited that is compatible with a 20" spare. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Highlander with included hardware.
This is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 5,000 lbs towing capacity and a 750 lbs maximum tongue weight. I really like this hitch because the crosstube is concealed behind the rear bumper and the only part visible is the 2" receiver.
I don't know anything about Toyota's factory hitches other than they are typically quite a bit more expensive than aftermarket options.
We have a couple of options for wiring harnesses depending on whether or not your Highlander has the factory towing package. I have listed them below along with any installation videos we have.
With Factory Towing Package - T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness item # TK74FR
Without Factory Towing Package - T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness item # TK99FR
To round out your towing setup I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534. This towing kit will provide you with a 2" ball and a fixed ball mount with a 3/4" rise and 2" drop. It also includes a hitch pin and clip, hitch receiver lock with keys, hitch cover, and a storage case.
