Will the Kuat NV 2.0 # NV22G Fit the OEM Trailer Hitch on a 2018 Toyota Highlander

Question:

Do you know if this rack is compatible with this OEM hitch and not require an extension, etc? Id like to make sure it does not have the same issue as the Thule and Yakima platform racks with this OEM hitch.

Although I am not sure where the hitch pin hole sits in comparison to the bumper for a 2018 Toyota Highlander with an OEM trailer hitch, I can give you some info so that you can determine if the Kuat NV 2.0 # NV22G is compatible with your vehicle.

From the center of the hitch pin hole to:
Closest part of rack when folded down: 10-1/2"
Closest part of rack when folded up: 7"

You can then use these measurements to determine fitment for the OEM trailer hitch on your Highlander. I have attached a review video of this bike rack on a 2016 Highlander but I am unsure whether or not this vehicle has an OEM or aftermarket trailer hitch.
