Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2015 Toyota Highlander for Bike Rack and Trailer

Question

Question:

I plan on using this primarily for the bike rack application. There will be one instance where I will probably use it to attach a U- Haul trailer as I help my daughter relocate. Would you have a recommendation as to the model trailer hitch of the options that you have available? Thank you for your time

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13394 is an excellent option for a 2015 Toyota Highlander and what I recommend using. It will work great for bike racks or cargo carriers and trailers if need be. The best feature of the trailer hitch is the hidden design which makes for a really smooth install look. It also offers bolt-on installation.

Please note, if you will be towing then you'll need a trailer wiring harness and for this I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118449 for without tow package or the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 56042 for with.
