Expert Answers about Toyota Highlander


  • How To Make More Clearance For Wide Handlebars On Platform Style Bike Racks
  • Although the Yakima HoldUp # Y02443 is a good rack, I have one that's better for your situation. The Kuat NV is my favorite rack we sell by far. It comes in Matte Black # BA22B, Metallic Black # NV22B and Gunmetal Grey # NV22G. It has all the features that the HoldUp has but looks better and it has a Hi-Lo Adapter # HL20B that will solve your handlebar problem. Only the Nv 2.0 will leave the option for a fat tire bike using this adapter strap # APBK If you really wanted to get the HoldUp,...

  • Is the Sealed Optronics Light part # STL79RB Sealed or Exposed on the Back
  • The back of the Sealed, Streamline LED Trailer Stop, Turn and Tail Light # STL79RB that you referenced is sealed. I pulled one from our warehouse to confirm this. The picture is a little misleading as it looks as if its exposed on the back side, but if you look closely you can see that there is a clear seal that protects the circuit board. You can tell its there by the reflection of the light on it.

  • Using a Ball Mount with Higher Tow Rating Than Provided by 2008 Toyota Highlander
  • Let me begin by stating that any towing system will only be as strong as its component with the lowest capacity. It is possible to have a hitch, ball mount and trailer ball with higher tow rating than that of the vehicle itself, but you will still be limited to the vehicle manufacturers stated maximum towing capacity which is 5000 lbs in your particular case. Using a ball mount itself with a higher capacity than the 5000 lbs stated by Toyota will not cause any warranty implications and...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch and Weight Distribution System for Hauling With a 2004 Toyota Highlander
  • You are right; when considering the Tongue Weight of a trailer hitch, we only count the Tongue Weight of the trailer. Tongue Weight, when looking at Weight Distribution Systems, is determined by the tongue weight of the trailer plus any cargo that will be sitting behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. In the case of your 2004 Toyota Highlander, I looked up your owner's manual and it looks like your total load capacity is 860 lbs without the third seat, and 1159 lbs with the third seat....

  • Is There A Maximum Speed Rating For The Yakima EXO Y62VR?
  • There are not any driving speed limitations when using the Yakima EXO Swing Away Enclosed Cargo Carrier # Y62VR. You will be able to drive normally at highway speed. This will be the case with all of the hitch cargo carriers that we offer. I have heard of certain low-end cargo basket makers putting speed limitations on their baskets. Any such limitation would make me seriously question the strength and durability of said carrier. We certainly do not deal with anything like that here at...

  • Why is Towing Capacity Higher on a 2010 Toyota Highlander with Factory Tow Package than One Without
  • A factory tow package can consist of several different components depending on the manufacturer. Those items could include different suspension, gearing, various coolers, and other items. The bottom line is that you have to go by what the vehicle manufacturer/owners manual says. If your 2010 Toyota Highlander did not come with the factory tow package then you are limited to the capacity specified in the owner's manual for your trim level. Having a higher capacity trailer hitch will not...

  • Can 2018 Toyota Highlander Tow 2009 Toyota Corolla on Tow Dolly
  • I looked up the towing capacity of your 2018 Toyota Highlander XLE and it's rated for up to 5,000 lbs trailer weight so you'd easily have the capacity needed to tow your 2009 Toyota Corolla on a tow dolly like the Demco Kar Kaddy # DM9713045. This is a great tow dolly which works well on low ground clearance vehicles and comes with a disc brake braking setup and a steering axle. You'll need a hitch and wiring kit installed on your Highlander, which the highest rated hitch we have for...

  • Replacement B&W Companion Base for Ford Puck Systems w/ a 25,000 lbs Capacity
  • You are correct. The base of the B&W Companions, like your item # BWRVK3370, do determine the hitches capacity. To replace the base you will need the Replacement Base for B&W Companion OEM 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch for Ford Super Duty item # BWRVB3305. This one is rated for 25,000 lbs and will drop right down into the puck system in your 2021 Ford F-450.

  • Can a 2008 Toyota Highlander Safely Tow a Dutchmen Kodiak 235
  • Since your 2008 Toyota Highlander has a 5,000 lb trailer towing weight capacity you should be okay towing your Dutchmen Kodiak 235. If you were going to have the water tanks filled then that would be a problem. Using a Weight Distribution (WD) system and making sure you stay at least 80 lbs away from the weight capacity of your Highlander is a great idea as well. I do recommend making sure that you get the correct WD system for your towing application though. You want to make sure your...

  • How to Determine if a 2013 Toyota Highlander Limited Can Tow a Trailer with a 5,250 lb GVWR
  • If you have a 5,000 lb trailer towing weight capacity for your 2013 Toyota Highlander Limited and you will not be filling your tanks before traveling then you should be okay. The difference between your dry trailer weight and the GVWR (Gross Vehicle Weight Rating) is 2,685 lbs. Since the GVWR is the max weight that your 2007 Fleetwood Pegasus Ultralite can weigh that means you have to take a lot of cargo with you. Be sure to check your owner's manual to ensure that you do have a trailer...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System for a 4,000 lbs Aluminum Frame Trailer
  • Congrats on the new trailer. Weight distribution systems are recommended off of tongue weight. Tongue weight is typically between 10% and 15% of your trailer's total weight, which puts yours somewhere around 400 lbs to 600lbs. I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System item # EQ37060ET, you were looking at. This system has a tongue weight range of 200 lbs - 600 lbs so it will work perfectly with your trailer. I really like this system because of the built in 4-point sway control....

  • Will the Thule Canyon XT Fit on a 2021 Toyota Highlander with Factory Crossbars?
  • The Thule Canyon XT # TH859XT will fit the factory crossbars on your 2020 Toyota Highlander as long as your crossbars don't exceed 3-1/2 inches wide x 1-3/4 tall. In order to confirm for sure if if will fit, I recommend measuring the dimensions your crossbars. This basket measures 49 inches long x 40 inches wide x 6inches tall, and has a maximum weight capacity of 150 lbs. The carrier weighs 29 lbs. You want to make sure you do not exceed the roof weight capacity of your 2020 Toyota Highlander...

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2016 Toyota Highlander
  • Yes, it is. The Curt Trailer Hitch item # C13394 is compatible with the Thule T2 Pro Bike Rack item # TH83JV and is confirmed to fit your 2016 Toyota Highlander. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Toyota with included hardware. The Curt Trailer Hitch item # C13394 is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 500 lbs maximum tongue weight so more than enough capacity for the Thule T2 item # TH83JV. I really like this hitch because the crosstube mounts behind the rear bumper...
