Expert Answers about Toyota Highlander


  • Will the Curt Hitch for a 2021 Kia Niro Work With Four Bikes
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13329 is a great option for a 2020 Kia Niro, the only available with 2" receiver tube opening. This will allow for carrying up to 4 or 5 bikes as the weight capacity for this is 525 lbs. The vehicle may have a separate rating for tongue weight and if this is lower that's what you'll need to abide by but I still think four bikes sounds reasonable for this application.

  • Where To Mount Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller On 2021 Toyota Highlander
  • In regards to installing the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller part # 90195 on a 2021 Toyota Highlander you will first need the Pigtail Wiring Harness with Diode for Tekonsha and Draw-Tite Brake Controllers part # 7865. Then you'll find a place to mount the controller. I have attached a video to show where I mounted the controller. It must be right-side up and not on its side.

  • Will the Curt Hitch C13394 for a 2018 Toyota Highlander Work With Bike Rack
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13394 is a great option for a 2018 Toyota Highlander. It does sit behind the bumper to help remain hidden but not so much so that it should cause any issues with clearance of hitch mounted accessories like a bike rack. That said, we have not yet tested this rack on this vehicle with this hitch but I am confident it will work without issue.

  • Will Three Kayaks Fit on the Malone MPG550-U MegaSport Trailer
  • The Malone # MPG550-U MegaSport Kayak trailer has crossbars that are 86 inches long. If you place your two larger kayaks in the saddles, and the saddles are adjusted to the kayaks sit right up against each other, you'll still have 22 inches of crossbar space left. You can even increase this by moving the outer saddles to the ends of the crossbars, then move the inner saddles outward until the kayaks sit how you want them. This will cantilever a portion of the kayaks past each edge, but...

  • Will The EcoHitch Interfere With The Liftgate Sensor And Spare Tire On A 2023 Toyota Highlander
  • All trailer hitches, including the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH35VR, will interfere with the hands free liftgate sensor on your 2023 Toyota Highlander. That being said, you should still be able to wave your foot on either side of the receiver tube to activate the sensors. You just wouldn't get a response by waving right in front of the receiver tube. As for the spare tire, you would need to have one that's 18" or less in order for it to fit along side the trailer hitch....

  • Will etrailer Brand e98844 Hitch for 2018 Toyota Highlander Work on Any Vehicle
  • A trailer hitch like the Class III etrailer brand # e98844 hitch is vehicle specific. This hitch in particular works with 2014-2019 Toyota Highlander models. There are some so-called 'universal fit' or 'multi-fit' hitches out there, but they'll typically be much more visible on the vehicle than a vehicle-specific hitch would be and won't be as aesthetically pleasing. Multi-fit hitches aren't inexpensive either, so you really won't save much in the way of money by going that route. If...

  • Is Draw Tite Hitch # DT65MR a Class III or Class IV Hitch
  • I would agree that the Draw Tite hitch part # DT65MR is more of a Class IV hitch based on it's capacities so I checked with Draw Tite and they have it listed as a Class III/IV in one place and Class IV in another. Since it's towing capacity is 6,000 lbs I would lean towards it being a Class IV. In general the Classifications are just a way to organize them by relative capacity. So it's always the most important thing to look at the actual capacity of the hitch compared to what you plan...

  • What is Needed to Add 5-Way to Vehicle For Boat Trailer With Disc Brakes
