What kind of brakes do you have - hydraulic, electric, electric over hydraulic? What kind of wiring harness do you have on your Highlander - 4-way, 7-way? If you could let me know the exact specifics of your setup I'd be happy to let you know how to proceed. view full answer...
I checked both of the trailer hitches that are Class III and are a confirmed fit for the 2002 Toyota Highlander. Both the Draw-Tite Max-E-Loader Trailer Hitch Receiver # 41541 and Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13429 states that its not rated for use with weight-distribution systems.
To double check this I reached out to my contact at Draw-Tite and they confirmed # 41541 is not designed for use with weight distribution and will not hold up when used for weight distribution systems.... view full answer...
It's pretty simple to install the power connection for the Curt # C51180 Wireless Brake Controller. We actually offer a kit that offers everything you need, part # BRK-ELECKIT. The kit includes the wire, inline circuit breaker, hardware and even the zip ties needed to complete the installation. We also offer a full kit that includes the 4 pole to 7-way adapter as part # ETBC7L.

If you'll be installing the Curt # C51180 Echo Wireless Brake Controller, you'll want to use a 30A breaker, like part # 38630, you'll also need 12 gauge wire, ring terminals and butt connectors. We actually sell all this in a kit as part # BRK-ELECKIT.
I've linked to a video explaining how the Curt Echo brake controller works, as well as to a video that will run you through the install. view full answer...
According to the owner's manual, a 2012 Toyota Highlander equipped with AWD and the 3.5L engine has a maximum towing capacity of 5000 lbs for a braked trailer or 1000 lbs for an un-braked trailer. The maximum tongue weight of the trailer would be 11% of the towing capacity or 550 lbs.
For a Class III hitch, I'd recommend the Curt # 13534. You'll also need a # 2753 ball mount and a trailer ball. For a 1-7/8 inch ball, use # 19260 or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball.
For wiring, you'll need a... view full answer...
To add a 4-pole flat type trailer wiring harness to a 2010 Toyota Highlander with the factory tow package all you need is part # 56042 from Curt. Highlanders equipped like yours with the tow package will have a converter under the dash. The Curt simply plugs in for installation. That's it. Please refer to the linked videos.
This harness delivers stop, turn and tail lights to your connected trailer. view full answer...
The Deka Jacketed 2 Wire, 10 Gauge, Brake Wire # 10-2-1 is sold by the foot, so you'd need to order based off the footage needed.
For example, if you needed 4 feet you'd need to order 4 and so on. So if you're two feet short, you'd need to order two more sections.
A good rule of thumb is to order more than you need, it's always better to have a bit too much than not enough. view full answer...

When it comes to adding a wind fairing to your factory crossbars on your 2008 Toyota Highlander I recommend The AirScreen XT for Thule Crossbars - 38 inch Long # TH72WV.
This universal fairing deflects wind over your roof rack to drastically reduce noise and drag. It has an easy, tool-free installation onto your front crossbar. Using the around-the-bar clamps will not interfere with T-track access.
The fairing has padded rubber bumpers that help protect the vehicle's roof from scratches... view full answer...
When it comes to installing a trailer hitch on a 2020 Toyota Highlander excluding XSE The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2 inch # C45CR is confirmed to fit your vehicle. Using this hitch may interfere with the hands-free liftgate sensor and functionality may be very limited or possibly lost.

The best way to confirm exactly what factory equipment has been installed in your vehicle is to contact your local dealership with the vehicle VIN. This allows the dealer to look up all of the production details for that specific vehicle.
This is the best way to go since exactly what individual items constitute a "trailer towing package" are NOT standardized and could vary considerably. Some auto makers' tow package may mean a hitch only; or it could mean a hitch and wiring; or a hitch... view full answer...
You are correct that you need a 2-inch Class III hitch in order to use the excellent swing-away Yakima FullSwing 4 Bike Rack # Y02465 on your 2013 Highlander. You can click on the included link to see all hitches offered.
While all are 2-inch and Class III-rated they do differ in their tongue weight (TW) capacities and also in terms of compatibility with your full-size spare tire. I recommend going with a higher capacity hitch to give you plenty of strength for the substantial weight of... view full answer...
When it comes to installing trailer wiring on your 2022 Toyota Highlander Hybrid The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # TK99FR will give you the 4 flat option. This wiring plugs behind the trim panel near the driver's side rear seat belt bracket. You will have to pull back the side trim panel to access the harness. The wiring is constructed of a 16-gauge bonded wire.
To go from the 4 flat wiring to the 7 and 4 flat option you need The Universal Installation... view full answer...
I'd go with the Tekonsha # 22119 if you think you might go with a different bake controller at some time in the future, but if you're happy with the Curt # C51180 Echo wireless brake controller, you can install a functional 4-pole using part # 118449 and convert that 4 pole to a 7-way using part # ETBC7L. In addition to all the wire, circuit breakers and hardware needed to complete the install, the kit also includes an adapter that will convert the 4-pole provided by the # 118449 to both... view full answer...
As long as your 2013 Toyota Highlander came with the factory tow package you can use the Curt wiring harness # 56042.
Models without the factory tow package would need to use # 118449 or # C56217. view full answer...
If you do not have trailer brakes on your trailer you could simply get an Adapter 7 Pole to 4 Pole # 37185. All you would need to do is plug the 4-way in to this adapter, tape up or zip-tie the extra wires that you would not need out of the way and you would be ready to go.
If you have a brake controller and plan on using trailer brakes you will need to get a Brake Controller and 7-way Installation Kit # ETBC7. This is very similar to the # 37185 except it also comes with everything you... view full answer...
It depends on what you're using the trailer hitch receiver for. First off, I recommend the Draw-Tite # DT65MR for the hitch receiver. It bolts right onto your 2014 Toyota Highlander and all the necessary hardware is included.
If you plan to use the hitch for carrying a cargo carrier or bike rack then the only other thing you need is that accessory and you're good to go.
If you plan to use the hitch to tow a trailer you'll also need trailer wiring, a ball mount, hitch ball, and a pin... view full answer...
You will need the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7 to convert your factory 4-way to a 7-way connector on your 2019 Toyota Highlander. As I am unsure of your mechanical abilities I have linked an installation video we have installing this on your Highlander. If you do not feel comfortable installing this and the brake controller on your own we have a link to find installers based on your zip code on the product pages or you can also visit your Toyota Dealer.... view full answer...
When it comes to supplying power to the brake lights to your trailer your 2019 Toyota Highlander actually has an existing connector so you don't have to splice into the OEM wiring on your vehicle. To add a 4-Way connector for your basic trailer lights you either need the T-Connector Kit # 56042 if you have the factory tow package or the T-Connector Kit # C56217 if you don't have the factory tow package.

You actually do not need the RoundBar SL Adapter for Yakima BaseLine, SkyLine, TimberLine, and RidgeLine Towers # Y03536 to use the Universal MightyMounts for Yakima Roof Mounted Accessories # Y03590 on your 2021 Toyota Highlander's Aero crossbars.
The RoundBar SL Adapter for Yakima BaseLine, SkyLine, TimberLine, and RidgeLine Towers # Y03536 are only needed if you were adding round bars to your car, but since you said you already have aero crossbars, you'd only need the Mighty Mounts.
