I am looking to purchase a trailer hitch and wiring harness for a 2016 Toyota Highlander. I need recommendations on a place to get installed. I live in Annapolis, Maryland. I was not sure if you had certified installers. Please advise Thank you

Trailer hitch and wiring kits install very easily for a qualified mechanic. Basically if you can find a decent mechanic in your area with a good reputation they would get the hitch installed easily as it will be a very basic install for them when compared to other jobs they encounter on a daily basis.

The Curt hitch part # C13200 is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Toyota Highlander and would be a great option. I attached an install video for more info as well.

For trailer wiring you would want the part # C56217 which I attached an install video for as well.

If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
