Expert Answers about Toyota Highlander


  • Receiver Height Of Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT84MR On a 2023 Toyota Highlander
  • The Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT84MR which fits your 2023 Toyota Highlander we have not yet installed on a 2023. On the 2022 Highlander we found a hitch height of 17" from the ground to the inside top of the receiver. You should have a very similar height on your 2023. If you need help matching this to a specific trailer you will want to level your trailer and measure the height to the bottom of the coupler. This will tell you the difference between your receiver and...

The kit includes a pre-wired 7- and 4-way trailer connector that mounts easily at the rear of your Toyota with an included bracket.

  • Is 10 Amp Fuse Included with Curt Trailer Wiring for a 2008 Toyota Highlander Enough
  • Yes, the 10 amp fuse that comes with the part # C56217 is adequate with the Curt harness part # C56217 that you mentioned. I actually just recently talked to Curt about this very same question and the difference is that the 10 amp fuse is what the Curt harness requires but if you were to use the Toyota trailer wiring harness you would need to use a 30 amp fuse.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2022 Toyota Hybrid Highlander XLE
  • I would be happy to. For your 2022 Toyota Hybrid Highlander XLE, I recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e75ZR. This hitch is the same as the Curt item # C99FR except for the finish. I like the etrailer one better because the flat paint it not only offers superior rust protection but it blends in better beneath the vehicle's trim. Both hitches are confirmed to fit the hybrids. Please note this hitch will fit models with an 18" or smaller spare tire under vehicle, however larger spare tires...

  • Recommended Transmission Cooler for a 2019 Toyota Highlander
  • After you install the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit item # D13502, in your 2019 Toyota Highlander, you will need to take it to the dealer or a mechanic so they can top off your transmission fluid. You can add fluid to the lines while you're doing the installation but to get the fluid to the right levels you'll need to have a professional do it.

  • Ground Clearance with Curt 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Installed on a 2014 Toyota Highlander
  • When we installed Curt trailer hitch # C13200 on a 2014 Toyota Highlander we found that from the ground to the top of the receiver opening was 15-3/4 inches. So to the bottom-most part of the hitch that would be approximately 13-1/4 inches. For that to be an issue the driveway would have to be at a fairly severe angle though it is still possible. Based on the height info of 13-1/4 inches you should be able to determine if there will be enough clearance. If you plan on doing some towing...

  • Ball Mount And 2 Inch Hitch Ball With no Rise or Drop
  • That's a good question because they didn't do a very good job of explaining that; what they are referring to is the bottom of the ball platform, since that is where the bottom of the coupler will be. And since the top of your hitch measures 17-3/8 inches, the best option is going to be a ball mount with no rise or drop, which is the Buyers Produts Tri-Ball mount you mentioned: - Buyers Products Tri-Ball Hitch - Tubular Shank with Chrome Balls # 3371802207 This has three hitch balls, including...

  • 4-Bike Hanging-Style Hitch Rack for Use in 1-1/4-Inch and 2-Inch Hitches
  • Thule's Hitching Post Pro hitch bike rack # TH934XTR has a shipping weight of 41-lbs, so by the time you remove the packaging materials from the equation the rack's actual weight is right around 38-lbs. This is a fairly average weight for a 4-bike rack. This USA-made 4-bike carrier offers excellent value and the flexibility to work well in both 1-1/4-inch hitches and the 2-inch hitches made for your 2016 Toyota Highlander. For a similar 4-bike hanging-style rack that weighs less you might...
