When we installed the Curt hitch part # C99FR on a 2020 Toyota Highlander like the Hybrid you are considering we found it had pretty good ground clearance. There was right at 15 inches of ground clearance and since the rear axle is pretty close to the rear of the vehicle it would not angle down far when pulling in and out of driveways. If you check out the picture I attached you can see that it's right about the height of the exhaust. view full answer...
I'm guessing the person in the message group is confusing the # HLY74FR Sport Rider SE with one of its other versions because this is one of the very select few racks that can handle the weight of your 72 pound bikes. The SE is tested and rated for bikes up to 80 pounds each. Most racks don't allow anything over 60.
This is a tried-and-true rack that has the capacity you need, tilts away from your Highlander to access the cargo area, folds up to the Highlander when you're not using it,... view full answer...

You are right. As long as the trailer hitch meets or exceeds the vehicle capacity, it can tow up to that capacity. So if your 2015 Toyota Highlander is rated for 3,500 pounds towing capacity then using Curt trailer hitch # C13200 will allow you to tow 3,500 pounds.
Please note that even though the hitch is rated for 6,000 pounds, you are still limited to the lowest rated component in the system, in this case the vehicle at 3,500 pounds.

The GVWR spec for a trailer, its gross vehicle weight rating, is the most it can ever weigh. This 3800-lb figure for your Coleman travel trailer includes the trailer's own dry weight of 2715-lbs plus the weight of water, propane, food, sporting gear -everything that goes in the trailer. You do NOT need to add the trailer's tongue weight (TW) to this figure. If you subtract the dry weight of 2715-lbs from the gross weight of 3800-lbs you get the maximum total cargo weight, 1085-lbs.

The maximum load of the Kenda Loadstar K399 bias trailer tire # AM1HP52 you referenced is 1,100 pounds at 50 psi per tire. When choosing a tire you want it to meet or exceed the axle capacity.
If you have a tandem axle trailer, 4 of the Kenda trailer tires # AM1HP52 is more than enough for your setup. If you have a single axle trailer, you would need to increase the tire capacity to meet or exceed the axle's capacity. Currently, we don't have a tire in this size that will meet your trailer's... view full answer...

Although it is not necessarily required to use a weight distribution system while towing, it is recommended to use one if your trailer weighs more than 50% of your vehicle's weight or if you experience vehicle sag while towing. The weight distribution portion of a system may not always be necessary also, the added benefits of sway control will prove well worth the added expense.

I had a Pro Series 32x48 Steel Solo Cargo Carrier and Folding Ramp # PS10401-10402 in our showroom, so I took some measurements.
On the cargo carrier the four smaller square steel tubes are 1 inch outer diameter. The center square tube is 2 inch outer diameter. The two straps that support the center tube are 1/8 inch thick. The steel side rails are 3 inches tall and 1/8 inch thick. The steel mesh on the bottom of the carrier is 1/16 inch thick (16 gauge).
On the folding steel ramp the... view full answer...
The linked install instructions for the Curt hitch # 13534 show that it has a 750 lb tongue weight capacity which were last updated two months ago (4/30/2020) so this would be the correct info. I did see on the Curt site they have the capacity listed as 500 lbs but 750 is the confirmed tongue weight. view full answer...

Let me begin by stating that any towing system will only be as strong as its component with the lowest capacity.
It is possible to have a hitch, ball mount and trailer ball with higher tow rating than that of the vehicle itself, but you will still be limited to the vehicle manufacturers stated maximum towing capacity which is 5000 lbs in your particular case.
Using a ball mount itself with a higher capacity than the 5000 lbs stated by Toyota will not cause any warranty implications and... view full answer...
I can't say what the factory hitch ground clearance is for the 2014 Toyota Highlander but with Curt trailer hitch # C13200 it is approximately 13-1/4 inches from the ground to the bottom of the hitch receiver and 15-3/4 inches to the top of the receiver opening. I have linked a video that shows some clearance measurements and installation for you.

With the proper hitch installed on your 2017 Toyota Highlander like the Draw Tite part # DT84MR the GearSpace 34 Enclosed Cargo Carrier # HGK826 that you referenced would easily not be too heavy for the vehicle. The carrier weighs 189 lbs unloaded and the etrailer hitch # e98844 referenced has a 500 lb tongue weight capacity which means it would easily be strong enough. Also, we've installed this on lighter duty vehicles like mini vans (see picture) and the carrier and vehicle were just... view full answer...
Yes, it is. The Curt Trailer Hitch item # C13394 is compatible with the Thule T2 Pro Bike Rack item # TH83JV and is confirmed to fit your 2016 Toyota Highlander. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Toyota with included hardware.
The Curt Trailer Hitch item # C13394 is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 500 lbs maximum tongue weight so more than enough capacity for the Thule T2 item # TH83JV. I really like this hitch because the crosstube mounts behind the rear bumper... view full answer...
