  • Provides a 4-way flat trailer connector at the back of your vehicle to power your trailer's signal lights
    • Designed for use with a factory tow package
    • Compatible with 5-pole, 6-pole and 7-pole adapters (sold separately)

Installation

This custom-fit T-connector plugs into your vehicle's factory tow package wiring harness, which is located in your rear cargo area, near the spare tire compartment.


Once installation is complete, the 4-way connector will be stowed beneath your vehicle, near the trailer hitch. A mounting bracket (sold separately) is recommended to keep the connector secure.


It is recommended that you use a small amount of dielectric grease on all electrical connections - the plugs on your automobile and the 4-pole connector itself - to help prevent corrosion.

Needed better instructions on install for my vehicle. Had to call for support help that was unsure himself. Wiring access was in compartment with spare tire. Had to remove for access. Once access the wiring was easy.



by:

This wire fit perfectly in my 2019 Highlander but I was never able to use it. I didn't realize that I needed the factory tow package for this to work, the label wasn't on the listing at that time. I ended up having to purchase one without the factory two option.

I installed this product on the Toyota Highlander I inherited from my sisters estate. I purchased a 5' x 8' trailer to pull behind it. I discovered the wiring harness was too corroded to work. Found Hopkins Custom Fit wiring harness on-line, it installed easily and works well. I just keep the harness in the back of the car and feed it out the back hatch to connect to the trailer. Works good!

2015 Toyota Highlander

Connectors match factory harness on my 2015 Highlander, but, of course, it is missing the strain relief, protection and gromet. External flat plug is an exact match so it will fit the factory bracket, but the plastic mount (HM48595) they make for this is better, just get a couple of stainless steel screws and nuts to attach it and you won't have a rusted mess like the factory bracket. I ended up splicing the external plug onto my factory harness to replace the factory plug with a broken off ground pin. This seemed the simplest way to keep all the factory strain relief, etc. Would have preferred the splice not be under the car, but I'm hoping adhesive lined heat shrink will protect the solder joints adequately.



by:
2008 Toyota Highlander

So easy. and I found a useful [online] video. I love that I can leave the wires in the storage compartment inside the car and just run it under the weather stripping on the rare occasions when I need it. Trailer wires have always tended to get rusted out in my experience. super easy!



by:

This wiring harness came in really fast as well with the hitch but I made the mistake and ordered the wrong one so I'll be returning it for a refund. I don't expect any issues with that either!



by:

harness was plug and play and install was easy. One trick I would says is just remove the plastic base trim at the door latch and then lift up the storage tray to get the plug. No need to remove the whole tray and such.

Easy enough to install. Turns out I did need the light control module (dealer gave me bad info)

  • 4-Way Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for 2018 Toyota Highlander with Tow Package
    Yes, the Hopkins 4-way part # HM11141825 that you referenced will simply plug right into the port at the rear of your 2018 Toyota Highlander and then you'd be ready to go. I attached a picture of where you'll find the port at for the harness on your vehicle as well as an install video for you to check out too.

  • Towing Capacity and Recommended Trailer Hitch and Backup Camera for 2018 Toyota Highlander
    I took a look at the online version of the owner's manual for your 2018 Toyota Highlander and found that if you have the 2.7L engine it can pull a trailer that weighs up to 1,500 pounds. If you have the larger 3.5L engine the Highlander has a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds. For a trailer hitch that will work great I recommend the Curt Class 3 Rround Tube Trailer Hitch # C13200 because it has great capacities(more than you will need), and can be used with a weight distribution system....

  • Will Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller Work on 2019 Toyota Highlander
    Trailer brake controllers are universal parts and will fit any vehicle, including a 2019 Toyota Highlander. As for your first question, the issue with installing some brake controllers on some Toyota's is disconnecting the brake light switch can set off a code in the computer that limits the vehicle's motion. That is not a concern with the Echo because it will mount directly in your Highlander's 7-way. The Curt Echo Brake Controller # C51180 does not need the brake wire, it only needs...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring for a 2014 Toyota Highlander with Spare Tire
    The Curt # C13394 is a confirmed fit for your 2014 Toyota Highlander, however, in our installation notes we have that you will be able to store a full sized spare underneath after the hitch is installed unless the spare is on an aluminum rim. The aluminum rims are too wide to fit. If your Highlander has the factory tow package (converter under dash) then I recommend going with the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Connector # HM11141825. If it doesn't have the factory...

  • Trailer Wiring Harness for 2018 Toyota Highlander XLE
    Installing a 4 pin trailer wiring harness is a plug and play proposition on all models of your generation of Highlander. Since your Highlander doesn't have the trailer package, you'd want to use # 118449 which installs using the two connectors under the cargo floor right at the threshold for the rear hatch. The kit includes the converter assembly, the trailer connector that plugs into the other connector and the fuse that would need to be installed in the fuse box in the engine compartment....

  • No Power To The Hopkins Plug In Wiring Harness On A 2019 Toyta Highlander
    The Hopkins Plug-In Simple Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package # HM11141825 you have is more than likely not the source of the issue. Most likely it is a blown fuse or missing fuse on the driver's side underneath the steering column, and it is not a super uncommon situation for these fuses to be missing from the manufacturer. This should be a 7.5A fuse labeled "IG1 NO.2"; consult the diagram on the fuse box for the exact location. Check the fuse if there is one and see if it is...

  • Recommended Hitch, Brake Controller, and Wiring Harness for a 2013 Toyota Highlander
    I would be happy to make some suggestions for you. I will start with a hitch. I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-E-Loader Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 75726. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your 2013 Toyota Highlander with included hardware. This hitch is compatible with weight distribution systems. I have linked an installation video below. There isn't a harness available that will provide you with the needed 7-way connector so you will need two separate ones. For a 4-way wiring harness...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Trailer Wiring Harness for 2018 Toyota Highlander
    For your 2018 Toyota Highlander I highly recommend checking out the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13394 because it has great towing capacities for your Highlander. The Curt # C13394 is a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver and has a maximum tongue weight capacity of 500 lbs and a maximum towing capacity of 5,000 lbs though you will need to check your Highlander's owner's manual to find out what the vehicle's towing capacity is and make sure you stick with whatever the lower rated figure is.

  • 7-Way Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2018 Toyota Highlander with Factory Installed Tow Package
    The custom trailer wiring harness for your 2018 Toyota Highlander with the tow package is part # HM11141825; however, it's only a 4-way connector. To get a 7-way on your Highlander start with the # HM11141825 4-way and then use our # ETBC7 kit to convert it to a 7-way. The kit plugs into the already installed 4-way for the lighting funtions and includes all of the wiring needed for the additional functions. I've linked a video from when we installed the # ETBC7 kit on a 2014 Highlander...

I have added a link to a video install of this hitch on a 2019 Highlander as well as a link to the written instructions.

    Take a look at the rear of your 2019 Toyota Highlander in the spare tire compartment. You should be able to find a white connector like you see on the right hand side of the picture I've attached. If there is nothing plugged into that connector then you don't have the tow package. If there is something plugged into it, it should be a wiring harness with a converter (like is shown) which means you do have the tow package. If you do have the tow package I recommend the Hopkins harness,...

    We do have a Draw-Tite trailer hitch that is a confirmed fit for your 2017 Highlander. I recommend part # DT65MR. This is a Class lV hitch and it has a 2-inch receiver opening. If you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag. If the ball...

  • How To Add a Brake Controller To a 2013 Toyota Highlander
    In order to setup a 2013 Toyota Highlander for towing a trailer with brakes, you'll first need to start with a 4-way for which I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # C56217 if you don't have the tow package or the Hopkins Plug-In Simple Wiring Harness part # HM11141825 if you do. This can then be adapted into a 7-way using the 4 to 7-Way and 4-Way Adapter part # ETBC7L. For a brake controller, I recommend the Curt Echo part # C51180 due to the ease of install. Then...

  • How to Install the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 # 90885 on a 2018 Toyota Highlander
    If you didn't have anything on your 2018 Toyota Highlander you would first need to start off by installing a 4-Way like the Hopkins # HM11141825 if you have the factory tow package or the Tekonsha T-One # 118449 if you don't have the factory tow package. The next step is installing the Universal Wiring Kit # ETBC7 which will give you a fully functional 7-Way and the appropriate wiring for your Tekonsha Prodigy P2 # 90885.

  • Trailer Wiring Harness for 2012 Toyota Highlander Hybrid
    The trailer wiring harness is the same on a 2012 Toyota Highlander Hybrid as it will be a standard Hybrid. The difference in which harness to choose will be impacted by whether or not you have the tow package. If your Highlander has a tow package it will have a converter under the dashboard and you can use Hopkins # HM11141825. If there is no converter under the dash and you don't have the tow package you can use # 118449.

    Luckily, rather than trying to understand the VIN check, the easiest way to determine if your Highlander is equipped with the taillight converter is to get a quick peek at the 10-pin connector it would plug into. The connector is located under the dash, between the emergency brake pedal and the brake pedal, as shown in the provided photo. If there's nothing plugged into the connector, you'd want to use the # HM11141845, as the trailer wiring won't work correctly without a taillight converter....
