Expert Answers about Toyota Highlander


  • Curt Trailer Hitch vs. etrailer Trailer Hitch on 2023 Toyota Highlander
  • There is only one difference between the Curt and etrailer trailer hitches that fit your 2023 Toyota Highlander, which is the finish. The Curt has a glossier finish than the matte black finish of the etrailer hitch, so you can choose which you prefer. The hitches that fit your '23 Highlander are the following part numbers: - etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e75ZR - Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C99FR The matte black finish is nice as it hides the inevitable dings, scuffs and scratches...

  • The only difference between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 13530 and the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98857 for a 2006 Toyota Highlander is finish.

  • Both the Curt Class III Hitch Receiver # 13534 and the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch # 75586 are confirmed to fit your 2008 Toyota Highlander Sport and feature 2 inch receivers that will sit pretty much in the same location beneath the rear bumper on the vehicle. There are a few differences between the two models other than the brand name and this is one of those cases where the best unit will depend on your specific application and what your Highlander is equipped with. The Draw-Tite...

  • Comparison Between Hollywood Racks # HR1400 And Yakima # Y02443-2 Bike Racks
  • There are several similar features between the Hollywood Rack, part # HR1400Z, and the Yakima HoldUp 4 Bike Rack, part # Y02443-2. These are both nice bike carriers. Both bike racks can be configured to carry either 2 or 4 bikes. Both will tilt for access to the rear cargo area of the vehicle. They both come with locks that secure the bikes to the rack and also locks that secure the rack to the vehicle. They both measure the same distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest...

  • Why Does Curt # C55400 Wiring Harness Require Wire to Battery and Tekonsha # 118413 Does Not
  • Some vehicles cannot handle the additional amperage draw of the trailer lights on their taillight circuits, so a wire is required to pull power directly from the battery instead. According to Tekonsha, your vehicle is equipped to handle the extra load, so you would be fine with the Tekonsha T-One Wiring Harness # 118413, especially if you are towing a trailer with just one set of lights at the back and no extra lighting. However, if you are towing a trailer with more than two taillights...

  • Differences Between Saris SuperClamp HD Bike Rack & Saris SuperClamp EX Bike Rack
  • Good question, and there are just two differences between the Saris SuperClamp HD and EX, which is the size of the receiver(s) they fit and motorhome compatibility: - Compatible With Motorhome & Fits 2" Receiver Only: Saris SuperClamp HD Bike Rack # SAR44VR - Not Compatible w/ Motorhome & Fits 1-1/4" or 2: Receiver: Saris SuperClamp EX Bike Rack # SA4025F Otherwise, these are exactly the same bike rack; both have a 60 lb per-bike capacity, grasp your bikes by the tires so there is no...

  • What Is The Difference Between The Curt C99FR &The Curt 13453 Trailer Hitch?
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C99FR and the product number 13453 that you're seeing is just Curt's part number for this hitch. The # C99FR number that we have on our website is just our part number for the hitch. We have to use different part number than the manufacturers since a lot of the manufacturers that we have, use the same or similar part numbers.

  • Comparing a Folding Carrier and a Fixed Carrier for Trailer Hitch on a 2017 Toyota Highlander
  • The advantage of a folding carrier like part # e98874 is, obviously, that it it can fold up for rear clearance when you don't have anything loaded on it. The disadvantage of a folding carrier is that since there are more hinges and connection points they can tend to have more movement. Fixed carriers like part # C18152 that you referenced cannot, as their name suggests, fold up for storage or rear clearance, but since the shank is one solid piece they tend to have less movement. Both...

  • Comparing the Lets Go Aero BikeWing T4 and Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 4
  • I recommend the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE 4 part # HR1400Z is an excellent option for your 2008 Toyota Highlander. The Sport Rider is heavy duty and weighs in at 81 lbs. However, you can remove the bike rack in two pieces to make it easier to handle. To use the Sport Rider with non-standard shapes of bikes, like your step-thru, you will need adapters such as part # HRSW-ADP-2 and part # HRBA-PRO. These are not always required. The Sport Rider is stable and will be be easy to...

  • Comparing T-One Vand Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for 2020 Toyota Highlander
  • The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # TK99FR and Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # C76CR are both fits for a 2020 Toyota Highlander without tow package. The former is made by Tekonsha and the latter Curt but they are both fits. I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness as you don't have to run any separate wires like you do for the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness.

  • Compare Curt, Hidden Hitch and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitches for 2015 Toyota Highlander
  • I would be happy to compare the trailer hitch options for your 2015 Toyota Highlander. As you mentioned you have three options, Curt # C13200, Draw-Tite # DT65MR, and Hidden Hitch # 87660. These are all Class III trailer hitches with a towing capacity of 6,000 lbs and a tongue weight capacity of 900 lbs. The difference in non-trailer loads does not affect the 2015 Highlander. Curt will require the use of a stabilizing strap for non-trailer loads on their Class I, Class II and some Class...

  • Comparing etrailer and Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Revivers for a 2023 Toyota Highlander Platinum
  • The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # DT84MR and etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e75ZR are both fits for a 2023 Toyota Highlander Platinum. There is trimming required of underbody panels for both models, but not really the actual bumper. I have attached photo of this below, the first is of the Draw-Tite and the second is of the etrailer. It's pretty minor for either so not a big deal and it's required for all hitch options on this vehicle. The main difference between...

  • Comparing The Curt and etrailer Trailer Hitches for 2021 Toyota Highlander XSE
  • I would be happy to help you decide which hitch receiver you should purchase for your 2021 Toyota Highlander XSE. The Curt item # C99FR you were looking at and the etrailer item # e75ZR are similar hitch receivers and would be great for attaching a bike rack. They are each Class III hitches with a maximum gross trailer weight of 5,000 lbs and a maximum tongue weight of 500 lbs. The difference is that the Curt item # C99FR has a gloss black powder coat finish over a protective base coat...

  • Comparing Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver C13394 and C13200 For 2019 Toyota Highlander
  • I would be happy to help! The differences between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13394 and # C13200 for your 2019 Toyota Highlander are that the # C13394 has a hidden cross tube meaning once installed the only visible section of the hitch will be the receiver it self, where the # C13200 has the entire cross tube visible. The visible cross tube design is a bit stronger of a design as shown by its higher 900lb tongue weight rating and 6000lb trailer weight rating. Now I looked up...

  • How to Tap into Reverse Light Circuit for Lockout on Surge Brake Trailer for 2016 Toyota Highlander
  • To find the reverse light circuit on a vehicle is pretty easy but it may take digging around in the door panels or interior panels of the vehicle. What you need to do is find the wires that lead into the reverse lights on your vehicle. Test both of them for voltage with the vehicle in reverse (parking brake on and trusted friend applying brake), whichever wire has voltage is the correct circuit to use. The adapter we recommend for converting a 4-way to a 5-way is the part # 20036. The...

  • Difference Between Curt 13534 and etrailer Brand e98858 Class III Hitch for2008 Toyota Highlander
  • Other than the fact that the Curt # 13534 uses a gloss powder coat finish and the etrailer.com brand # e98858 hitch uses a matte finish powder coat, there's no difference between the two hitches. Curt manufactures the etrailer.com brand hitches for us, so you know it's a high quality product. If you'll be using the hitch for towing purposes, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness, a ball mount and a trailer ball to complete your towing setup. For a wiring harness, use part # 118449,...

  • Can Swagman Quad 2+2 Be in Stored Position and Clear Rear Hatch on 2017 Toyota Highlander
  • The Swagman Quad 2+2 Bike Rack # S64FR is a solid choice for a bike rack and I love that it has the 2 bike configuration so it's easier to load and operate like how you guys are planning on using it. You will need to lower the trays to that flat position to open up the rear hatch on your 2017 Toyota Highlander - this is the case for pretty much every bike rack on the market. The only exceptions would possibly be some of the 1-bike racks. The Thule T2 Pro X # TH26ZE is a much nicer rack...

  • Difference Between Hitches for 2006 Toyota Highlander
  • The only difference between the Curt Class III Hitch # 13530 and the Draw-Tite # 75153 is that the Curt hitch has the safety chain loops welded to the bottom of the receiver, while the Draw-Tite model has the safety chain loops welded to the top. Both models are very similar in appearance and would install in the same manner. The only difference is that the Curt # 13530 can be used with weight distribution, where it carries a 4000 lb GTW and 400 lb TW rating. I have linked to the install...

  • Comparing the Thule OutWay and Passage Trunk Mount Bike Racks for a 2005 Toyota Highlander
  • The differences between the Thule OutWay # TH56BV and Passage # TH911XT trunk mount bike racks are many. The OutWay is the top of the line model. I actually own this rack and it is the best trunk mount rack I have ever used. The arms move independently of the rest of the rack. It comes with an integrated cable lock in the last bike position. And the cables can be locked into place to deter theft. The best feature is the retractable cable system. The 2 retractable cables are easy to use...
