Hi Thomas,
I have good news for you as you do not have to retorque the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C99FR on your Toyota Highlander after the initial installation.
The hitch is good to go after the install without needing any additional work. Also, since you mentioned you lost the manual, I have added a link below to a copy for you if you'd like a copy.

Hey Thomas, how has the Curt trailer hitch been working on your Highlander since the install? It’s great that no retorquing was needed after the first setup. Your feedback could help others wondering about long-term use.
