  • Comparing Curt Trailer Hitch Receivers # C99FR and C45CR For a 2022 Toyota Highlander
  • The main difference that you will see is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C45CR has a visible cross tube where the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C99FR has a hidden cross tube. So when you have these mounted on your 2022 Toyota Highlander Limited you will either see just the receiver slot and chain loops that hangs down, or you will see the receiver and cross tube that attach to the mounting plates on the left and right frame rails. I have included images so that you can see the difference...

  • What is the Difference Between the C99FR and Curt Part Number 13453
  • The Curt part number 13453 and our part # C99FR are the same hitch and will fit on your 2021 Toyota Highlander. We often use our own part numbers, so this is the only difference; you're still getting the same high quality Curt hitch for your vehicle. If you're going to be towing with your new hitch you'll also need a wiring harness, ball mount, hitch ball, hitch pin and clip. For the wiring I recommend using the Curt # C59236, which comes with quick splice connectors and uses a powered...

  • Compare Trailer Hitches for a 2018 Toyota Highlander
  • There are a number of trailer hitch receivers that fit your 2018 Toyota Highlander and it can be confusing because they have a lot in common; however, there are differences as well. I recommend the Curt # C13200 or the etrailer.com # E98844, they are virtually identical. These would both have good clearance for the rack and bikes behind your Highlander's rear bumper. They are also rated 5 out of 10 for difficulty installing. Another option is the EcoHitch, part # 306-X7250. This...

  • Difference Between Curt 13534 and etrailer Brand e98858 Class III Hitch for2008 Toyota Highlander
  • Other than the fact that the Curt # 13534 uses a gloss powder coat finish and the etrailer.com brand # e98858 hitch uses a matte finish powder coat, there's no difference between the two hitches. Curt manufactures the etrailer.com brand hitches for us, so you know it's a high quality product. If you'll be using the hitch for towing purposes, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness, a ball mount and a trailer ball to complete your towing setup. For a wiring harness, use part # 118449,...

  • Comparing Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver C13394 and C13200 For 2019 Toyota Highlander
  • I would be happy to help! The differences between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13394 and # C13200 for your 2019 Toyota Highlander are that the # C13394 has a hidden cross tube meaning once installed the only visible section of the hitch will be the receiver it self, where the # C13200 has the entire cross tube visible. The visible cross tube design is a bit stronger of a design as shown by its higher 900lb tongue weight rating and 6000lb trailer weight rating. Now I looked up...

  • Comparing the Lets Go Aero BikeWing T4 and Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 4
  • I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 4 part # HR1400Z is an excellent option for your 2008 Toyota Highlander. The Sport Rider is heavy duty and weighs in at 81 lbs. However, you can remove the bike rack in two pieces to make it easier to handle. To use the Sport Rider with non-standard shapes of bikes, like your step-thru, you will need adapters such as part # HRSW-ADP-2 and part # HRBA-PRO. These are not always required. The Sport Rider is stable and will be be easy to...

  • Comparing a Folding Carrier and a Fixed Carrier for Trailer Hitch on a 2017 Toyota Highlander
  • The advantage of a folding carrier like part # e98874 is, obviously, that it it can fold up for rear clearance when you don't have anything loaded on it. The disadvantage of a folding carrier is that since there are more hinges and connection points they can tend to have more movement. Fixed carriers like part # C18152 that you referenced cannot, as their name suggests, fold up for storage or rear clearance, but since the shank is one solid piece they tend to have less movement. Both...

  • Recommended Snow Tire Chains For My 2021 Toyota Highlander
  • I did some research and I checked the owner's manual of your 2021 Toyota Highlander. You will need to use a Class S compatible snow tire chain, they are the only snow tire chains that meet your owner's manual tolerances. They are designed for tight wheel well clearances. The Titan chains, part # TC2829, and , part # TC2829CAM, you are inquiring about are not Class S compatible snow tire chains. If you use them, you do so at your own risk If you have the 235/55-20 tire on your vehicle,...

  • How to Tap into Reverse Light Circuit for Lockout on Surge Brake Trailer for 2016 Toyota Highlander
  • To find the reverse light circuit on a vehicle is pretty easy but it may take digging around in the door panels or interior panels of the vehicle. What you need to do is find the wires that lead into the reverse lights on your vehicle. Test both of them for voltage with the vehicle in reverse (parking brake on and trusted friend applying brake), whichever wire has voltage is the correct circuit to use. The adapter we recommend for converting a 4-way to a 5-way is the part # 20036. The...

  • Can Swagman Quad 2+2 Be in Stored Position and Clear Rear Hatch on 2017 Toyota Highlander
  • The Swagman Quad 2+2 Bike Rack # S64FR is a solid choice for a bike rack and I love that it has the 2 bike configuration so it's easier to load and operate like how you guys are planning on using it. You will need to lower the trays to that flat position to open up the rear hatch on your 2017 Toyota Highlander - this is the case for pretty much every bike rack on the market. The only exceptions would possibly be some of the 1-bike racks. The Thule T2 Pro X # TH26ZE is a much nicer rack...

  • What Is The Difference Between The Curt C99FR &The Curt 13453 Trailer Hitch?
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C99FR and the product number 13453 that you're seeing is just Curt's part number for this hitch. The # C99FR number that we have on our website is just our part number for the hitch. We have to use different part number than the manufacturers since a lot of the manufacturers that we have, use the same or similar part numbers.

  • Difference Between Hitches for 2006 Toyota Highlander
  • The only difference between the Curt Class III Hitch # 13530 and the Draw-Tite # 75153 is that the Curt hitch has the safety chain loops welded to the bottom of the receiver, while the Draw-Tite model has the safety chain loops welded to the top. Both models are very similar in appearance and would install in the same manner. The only difference is that the Curt # 13530 can be used with weight distribution, where it carries a 4000 lb GTW and 400 lb TW rating. I have linked to the install...
