• Is The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C99FR A Fit For A 2023 Toyota Highlander
• That's totally fine, it's just nice to have the ability to use a weight distribution hitch because if you ever do trade up or tow a trailer to move some stuff around and you get in the 3,500-4,000lb range these start being pretty useful to help with sag and keeping the trailer tracking straight. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C99FR is a confirmed fit for your Highlander and will offer a much more hidden look with the crosstube being completely hidden behind the bumper. The wiring and...

• Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For a 2021 Toyota Highlander XSE
• I recommend our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e75ZR for your 2021 Toyota Highlander XSE. Don't be confused by the notes that say it fits the XSE models and also excluding XSE models. That is just how they feel is best to show what models it will fit. I prefer our receiver as the matte black finish looks best with the rear fascia as seen in the image below. I do recommend adding a wiring harness when you install the receiver. We have either the commonly used 4-Way Flat # TK99FR which...

• Best Trailer Hitch for a 2023 Toyota Highlander
• The best trailer hitch for your 2023 Toyota Highlander is the Curt Hitch item # C99FR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Toyota with included hardware. It is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 5,000 lbs towing capacity and a 500 lbs maximum tongue weight. The reason this is the best hitch is that the entire crosstube mounts behind the rear bumper. This leaves only the 2" receiver visible, which not only looks better but helps with ground clearance. It fits both the...

• Wireless Or Wired Trailer Brake Controller Installation Parts For a 2016 Toyota Highlander

• Recommended Weight Distribution Hitch for Somerset E3 Pop Up Camper
• That answer you looked at is a bit confusing and I think it gave you the wrong idea about weight distribution. A weight distribution hitch should not be selected based on your tow vehicle. The most important thing is making sure your loaded tongue weight falls into the tongue weight range of the hitch. I don't know what year or exact model you have but I'm guessing 268 lbs is the dry tongue weight. You will need to measure to see what your loaded tongue weight is, or at least find the...

• Will Kat's Heaters Engine Block Heaters Automatically Shut Off
• Kat's Heaters engine block heaters, like part # KH11813, do not have an internal thermostat and would be constantly on while plugged in. The manufacturer recommends that the block heaters only be turned on two hours before you plan on leaving so I recommend getting an outlet timer and setting it to automatically kick on two hours prior to your typical departure time. You can usually pick one up really cheap at your local hardware or department store.

• Roof Rack Recommendation for 2021 Toyota Highlander with Naked Roof
• Hey Ronnie, I attached a link to this page that shows all of the roof racks that are a fit for your 2021 Toyota Highlander with a naked roof but my favorite option is the Yakima Jetstream part # Y00429, # Y28TR, # Y06153, # Y06132 as we had chance to install all of the racks we carry and we all agreed the Yakima racks are the nicest and the easiest to use. This is a through bar design which means the bars are longer than the feet of the rack which is great for if you need max bar space. If...

• SumoSprings Helper Springs For a 2023 Toyota Highlander Limited Platinum
• Yes, the Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs # CSS-1145R are confirmed to fit your 2023 Toyota Highlander Limited Platinum. You should not have any issues for your warranty as it is a add on part and you are not modifying the vehicle components. You are simply helping to provide support to the rear coil springs. The only way you would void your warranty is if Toyota could prove the parts caused a failure or you tried to overload the capacities given from Toyota.

• What is the Hardware in the A Section for the Instructions of a Thule Fit Kit on a 2016 Highlander
• Sometimes the instructions can be a little confusing when it comes to roof racks and I know exactly where you are coming from because I had the same thought the first time I installed a Thule roof rack. The parts shown in the "A" section on the instructions (which I've attached a cutout of) are actually in the box with the (discontinued) Rapid Podium Feet TH460R. On the other side of things, anything marked as "B" in the instructions for the feet would be referring to what comes with the...

• Which Coil SumoSprings For 2018 Toyota Highlander 4WD
• Hey there Barry, thanks for writing in, and I double-checked with the manufacturer and can verify for you the correct Coil SumoSprings for your 2018 Toyota Highlander 4WD (so long as it is not the hybrid version) are the 1145: - Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs # CSS-1145R There isn't actually a 1165 version so I can't tell you what the review you mentioned was referring to, unfortunately. These are definitely the right way to go for your Highlander to help shore up the rear suspension...
