Question:

I have a 2023 Toyota Highlander Hybrid XLE. It has 18inch tires. Im looking for a trailer hitch. I see I have 3 options: EH35VR, E75ZR, and C99FR. What are major advantages of the EH35VR hitch over the others? I dont think I need the 750lb tongue weight. My trailer is 2000lbs. I do wonder if it is possible to put a full size 18inch tire under the car with any of these hitches? I see lots of comments that I cant do a 20inch with the etrailer or curt. That is ok with me. But can I do an 18inch full size? Thanks, any input you can give me on key differences or advantages of one of these hitches over the other is appreciated. Mike

Expert Reply:

The best hitch option for your 2023 Toyota Highlander hybrid would be the Curt part # C99FR as it offers all of the things you are looking for at the best price. The big advantage the EcoHitch part # EH35VR has it's additional tongue weight capacity but since that's not something that interests you it wouldn't be worth the extra money.

The Curt works with your 18 inch spare as well.
