Question:

Looking for a 2 trailer hitch for a 2022 Toyota Highlander XSE. Looking at your offerings I see that they all exclude the XSE trim level. Any suggestions? Thanks

Hey Tom,

The verbiage is a bit weird because the whole category is separated on whether or not it's compatible with XSE models so most will say "excluding XSE models" and "XSE models", meaning that it can work with both. For your Highlander I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e75ZR. It's a super easy install, butting right up to the bottom of the frame rails and bolting in place using factory weldnuts in the frame. I've attached a video below where Ryan will walk you through the process.

I also recommend picking up the Tekonsha # TK99FR if you don't have the factory tow package, or the # TK74FR if you do have the factory tow package. These harnesses will allow you to transfer your light signals over to a small trailer or want to add lights to a bike rack or cargo carrier for more visibility.

Hey Tom, how did the etrailer hitch work out on your Highlander XSE? Did it line up with the frame rails as expected? Your update could make it easier for others with the same trim to find the right fit.
