Expert Answers about Toyota Highlander


  • Recommended Bike Rack For Mongoose Fat Tire Bike
  • If your Mongoose Fat Tire Bike is less than 60 lbs you can use the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU64FR. Like most racks, you'll need to get a fat tire adapter # APBK so the strap fits around your fat tires. If you decide you want more bikes loaded up, you can use this # KU57FR to add another bike too!

  • Can a Weight Distribution System Be Used On a 2013 Toyota Highlander
  • I checked the owner's manual for a 2013 Toyota Highlander just to be sure and there is no mention of not using a weight distribution system so you are covered. In fact, it is even somewhat encouraged as the manual states the use of a sway control device which most weight distribution systems have is needed for trailer's over 2,000 lbs. There is some truth to uni-bodies having a weaker structure than body-on-frame configurations but not so much so that you cannot use a weight distribution...

  • Does 2018 Toyota Highlander Computer Need to be Reprogrammed When Installing Brake Controller
  • The computer system for your 2018 Toyota Highlander will not need to be flashed/reprogrammed to install the Tekonsha Prodigy P2 Brake Controller # 90885 using the Wiring Kit # ETBC7 and Pigtail Harness # 7865 for installation. If your Highlander doesn't already have a 4-Way trailer connector installed, you will need to first add this as well using the Tekonsha T-One # 118449 if the Highlander doesn't have the factory tow package or the Curt # 56042 if it does have the factory tow package....

  • Picking Out Torklift Glow Step That Fits Lance Model 1475
  • The TorkLift GlowStep Revolution Scissor Steps # TLA8004 that you referenced are designed to fit entry heights on RVs that are between 32-1/2 and 44 inches which which might be a little higher than what you have on your 2018 Lance 1475 based on the pictures I was able to find online of it, we don't have a way to get the exact threshold height of your RV so you'll have to take a quick measurement to verify. If you find you have lower height we have the part # TLA8102 which has two steps...

  • What is Difference Between two Hitches that Fit 2019 Toyota Highlander
  • We do have two Draw-Tite hitches, the Draw Tite brand # 76156 and the # DT65MR for your 2019 Toyota Highlander with the part Draw-Tite # 76156 which is a bit more hidden and also the # DT65MR which is a bit more visible from the rear of the vehicle. So on the # 76156 the hitch opening is attached to the bottom of the cross tube which allows only the hitch opening to be visible beneath the vehicle whereas the etrailer # DT65MR has the crosstube attached to either side of the hitch opening...

  • Installing 7-Way Trailer Connector on 2019 Toyota Highlander Hybrid
  • The particular parts you need to install a fully-functioning 7-Way on your 2019 Toyota Highlander Hybrid will depend on what exactly it's already equipped with. Either way you will need to start by adding a 4-Way connector harness. If your Highlander has the factory tow package I recommend the Curt T-Connector # 56042. If it does not have the tow package you will want the Curt T-Connector # C56217 instead. Both custom harnesses install by simply plugging into existing ports on the Highlander...

  • Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2012 Toyota Highlander
  • The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2012 Toyota Highlander is the Draw-Tite Class III Max Frame Round Tube Receiver Hitch # 75726. I recommend this hitch because it has a higher tongue weight capacity than some other hitches confirmed to fit your Highlander. This trailer hitch will not require drilling for installation and it will allow you to keep you full size spare tire stowed under your vehicle. The Curt trailer hitch for your vehicle requires the use of a stabilization strap for...

This is a confirmed fit for your Highlander and can carry up to 3 bikes.

  • 2016 Toyota Highlander Limited Platinum Trailer Wiring Harness
  • We really dislike the term 'tow package' here at the etrailer.com World Headquarters, because the term basically has no meaning. In most folk's mind, saying something has the tow package would indicate the the vehicle rolled out of the factory and was completely equipped to tow which would be the case in a perfect world. But alas, that's not the case. In terms of which 4-pole trailer connector harness you need for your Highlander, there's a super-easy way to tell. Pull out the cargo tray...

  • Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2006 Toyota Highlander
  • For your 2006 Toyota Highlander the best hitch option is the etrailer part # e98857 as this has the best weight capacities, the easiest install and has a matte finish instead of gloss which is a bit more durable and makes it a little less visible. Then for trailer wiring the best option is the # C59236. This isn't a plug and play option but there are none for your exact vehicle configuration.

  • The best tire chains that fit your 2022 Toyota Highlander with the wheel size 235/55-20 is the Konig Easy Fit Chains part # TH04115255 as they provide great traction, will last a long time, and literally install in a matter of seconds whereas other options take quite a bit more time.

  • Recommended Tire Chains For A 2018 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited
  • We have a couple options for tire chains on your 2018 Toyota Highlander with the 245/55-19 tires. Though we do not have something like the Konig Premium - K-Summit Chains # TH02230K33 available for your tire size, these will still offer good traction and quality and are both highly recommended. First is the Konig Self-Tensioning Snow Tire Chains - Diamond Pattern - D Link - XG12 Pro # TH2004705255. Once these are connected, you just drive off and they will tighten down securely onto your...

  • Wiring A 2008 Toyota Highlander for Towing a 1996 Flagstaff Cobra Camper with 6-Way Square Connector
  • Jayco uses a different wiring code than most, so in all likelihood, it will not work. I would just cut off the 6-Way square, tape off the brake and battery wires, and connect the 4 wires to a new 4-Way flat connector like part # 9653P. A better solution may be to install a more common 6-Way Round trailer connector on the vehicle and trailer. You could use the Pollak 6-Pole, Round Pin, Trailer Wiring Connector, item # PK11604, on the trailer end and a 4 Pole to 6 Pole Adapter, item # A10-6034VP....

  • Why Does Tekonsha Trailer Wiring for 2013 Toyota Highlander Have Lower Rated Fuse
  • This is a good question but for 4-way wiring like the # 118449 all you need as far as circuit protection is concerned is 10 amps. Any more than that would draw way more amperage than the wiring would support and would basically render the circuit protection pointless.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2018 Toyota Highlander To Carry 5 Bike Rack
  • I have a different option for you, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13534 is not confirmed to fit your 2018 Toyota Highlander so you will need to go with a different hitch. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13394 as it is made right here in the USA so you know you are getting a quality hitch for your vehicle, and it will easily allow you to carry a bike rack. I like this hitch because it has a hidden crosstube so that once the trailer hitch is installed on the receiver it...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2021 Toyota Highlander XLE
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C99FR is what I recommend for a 2021 Toyota Highlander XLE. It features a custom bolt-on install with no drilling required. It has a hidden design which means the cross tube is hidden so the only thing you see is the receiver tube. This provides the best overall appearance as well as the most ground clearance. It can be used for towing or bike racks and cargo carriers. I have attached an install photo below.

  • Recommended 4 Flat Trailer Wiring Harness For A 2022 Toyota Highlander With Factory Tow Package
  • Knowing that your 2022 Highlander has the factory tow package is actually a huge help. This will mean your Highlander is pre-wired for a 4 Flat harness and will make everything a lot easier. The Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # TK74FR will plug directly into a port located behind the rear bumper on the driver's side. With this being plug and play, it will take absolutely no time to install and get you up and running. The only...

  • Recommended Electric Winch for Wheelchair Loading
  • For your electric winch, I recommend the Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Trailer Winch - Marine - 1,500 lbs # TW4015 which has a corded remote. The winch has more than enough power for your application and have an enclosed housing to help prevent wear and keep your interior clean. The strap will help to keep your vehicle carpet and interior free from snags. If you prefer a wire to allow the use of a pulley block for leverage, then I recommend the Dutton-Lainson StrongArm Electric Winch...

  • Will KBO Ranger w/ Running Boards and e-Bike Fit On Hollywood Racks Destination Without Hitting?
  • As long as your other e-bike doesn't have running boards or anything sticking far away from the frame you will be just fine. The running boards on your KBO Ranger are 6.5" wide so you'll still have 4.5" clearance when you have them both installed on the Hollywood Racks Destination # HLY66ZR you were looking at as it has 11" between the bikes as you mentioned. I did notice your KBO Ranger weighs 77lbs, and the # HLY66ZR is limited to 70lbs per bike so make sure you remove the battery and...

  • Brake Controller and 7-Way Trailer Connector Installation for 2021 Toyota Highlander
  • Since from what it sounds like, your Highlander doesn't have the factory tow package that includes a 7-way on the rear bumper, you'll need to do a hardwire installation. For starters, you'll need a functional 4 pole trailer wiring connector to establish a connection to the vehicle's taillight circuits. I'd recommend using the Tekonsha # TK99FR. I'll link the installation instructions for you. For an easy to install brake controller, you can't go wrong with the Curt Echo, part # C51180....
