We do have a trailer hitch option for the 2024 Toyota Highlander. The correct hitch is the etrailer class 3 hitch # e75ZR. Unfortunately this hitch is not rated for use with a weight distribution hitch. At this time there is no hitch available for the 2024 Highlander that will allow you to use a weight distribution hitch. This is likely because the 2024 Highlander has a unibody frame, and you cannot use weight distribution on vehicles with a unibody frame as it can damage the vehicle.

The etrailer class 3 hitch # e75ZR is rated for towing 5,000 lbs, so you will still be able to haul a good amount of weight, but you will not be able to use a WD hitch. If you plan to tow a trailer you will also need the Tekonsha Wiring Harness # TK99FR.
