Expert Answers about Toyota Highlander


  • E-Bike Rack Recommendation with Ramp for Class C Motorhome
  • Hey Pam, the Yakima OnRamp bike rack part # Y36FR would be a really great option that covers everything you need. It's RV rated so it can be used in your Class C RV hitch as well as Honda CR-V, it's designed for e-bikes, and also has a ramp built into it as well.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch For A 2023 Toyota Highlander Limited Hybrid With A 20" Spare Tire
  • The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C99FR will only work with 18" or smaller spare tires. You would need to use a hitch like the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH35VR instead.

  • Question About a Product
  • Unfortunately our vendor for these engine block heaters, Kat's Heaters, has not confirmed a fit for the 2023 Highlander. Sorry, that's certainly not the news you were hoping for. The only thing we could offer for cold weather is a battery heater to keep your battery in check during the freezing winter, such as with Kat's Heaters Battery Heating Pad for Series 24 Batteries - 120V - 60 Watt # KH22400.

  • Parts Needed to Add Brake Controller to 2010 Toyota Highlander

  • Will the EcoHitch EH35VR Work w/ a Full size Spare on a 2023 Toyota Highlander?
  • Yes, it will! The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch item # EH35VR you were looking at is the only hitch available for the 2023 Toyota Highlander that is compatible with a 20" spare. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Toyota with included hardware. The EcoHitch item # EH35VR is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 5,000 lbs towing capacity and a 750 lbs maximum tongue weight. I really like this hitch because the crosstube is concealed behind the rear bumper and the only part...

  • SumoSprings Helper Springs For a 2023 Toyota Highlander Limited Platinum
  • Yes, the Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs # CSS-1145R are confirmed to fit your 2023 Toyota Highlander Limited Platinum. You should not have any issues for your warranty as it is a add on part and you are not modifying the vehicle components. You are simply helping to provide support to the rear coil springs. The only way you would void your warranty is if Toyota could prove the parts caused a failure or you tried to overload the capacities given from Toyota.

  • Can a Brake Controller Be Wired to a circuit Breaker Instead of Being Wired Directly to the Battery
  • Hey Nick, you're going to need to attach the wire to the positive terminal on the battery and run a wire. Brake controllers should be powered directly from the battery via a circuit breaker. Reason being is that you'll keep your brakes even if the ignition cuts out unexpectedly, and on inertia controlled units removing the power will clear the unit’s calibration which would result in rough braking until the unit gets recalibrated again.

  • Why Isn't There Hidden Hitches Made for 2002 Toyota Highlander
  • For your 2002 Toyota Highlander there aren't any hidden hitches available at this time. All we have are standard hitches like the Draw Tite part # 41541 William. This is because the desire for hidden hitches didn't really come out till not that long ago so the hitch manufacturers started makin them for the current vehicles of the time but didn't go back and make them for older vehicles.

  • Parts Needed To Install a 7-Way on a 2024 Toyota Highlander XLE with Factory 4-Way Flat Connection.
  • Excellent question Paul. We have our Install Kit # ETBC7 which will allow you to plug into the factory 4-way on your 2024 Toyota Highlander XLE. It also includes additional wiring you will need for installing a charge line and brake controller which your camper will need since it has a 7-way connection. I recommend using the Redarc Liberty # RED52VR since you can use the Mounting Panel # RED48FR to replace one of the blank fill panels on your dash. This will give you the best factory appearance...

  • Will Kat's Heaters Engine Block Heaters Automatically Shut Off
  • Kat's Heaters engine block heaters, like part # KH11813, do not have an internal thermostat and would be constantly on while plugged in. The manufacturer recommends that the block heaters only be turned on two hours before you plan on leaving so I recommend getting an outlet timer and setting it to automatically kick on two hours prior to your typical departure time. You can usually pick one up really cheap at your local hardware or department store.

  • Parts Needed To Install Tekonsha Primus IQ on 2022 Toyota Highlander Around Brake Switch
  • I have seen the Roadmaster Universal Stop Light Switch Kit # RM-751000 used as an alternative to tapping into the brake switch wiring. There are 3 wire connections for this switch. First a fused power wire, a ground wire and the output wire for the brake controller. This will allow you to wire in the Tekonsha Primus IQ Trailer Brake Controller # TK90160 with the Pigtail Wiring Harness # 7894 on your 2022 Toyota Highlander, without tapping into your brake switch wiring. The Universal Installation...

  • What is the Hardware in the A Section for the Instructions of a Thule Fit Kit on a 2016 Highlander
  • Sometimes the instructions can be a little confusing when it comes to roof racks and I know exactly where you are coming from because I had the same thought the first time I installed a Thule roof rack. The parts shown in the "A" section on the instructions (which I've attached a cutout of) are actually in the box with the (discontinued) Rapid Podium Feet TH460R. On the other side of things, anything marked as "B" in the instructions for the feet would be referring to what comes with the...

  • Can Suspension Enhancement Be Added to a 2023 Toyota Highlander Hybrid for Towing a Trailer
  • Thanks for reaching out, Peter! The best option for help your 2023 Toyota Highlander Hybrid towing setup to stay level is by using a weight distribution system like the Blue Ox TrackPro # BLU47FR rated for a 600 lbs - 800 lbs tongue weight range. I checked with all of our suspension enhancement manufacturers and unfortunately none of them have a kit designed to fit your vehicle.

  • Help Troubleshooting Trailer Lights Always On Connected To 2023 Toyota Highlander Tekonsha 7-Way
  • The Tekonsha OEM Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness # TK57VR(22125) does have a converter. The square box on the harness is the converter which senses power for the tail lights, turn signals and brakes to send to the appropriate functions of the trailer. What it sounds like to me is the trailer running lights are some how sending power to the brake lights which are brighter. I would start by using a Test Light # PTW2993 or 7-way Tester # C66NR to ensure the correct functions on the connector...

  • Will Towing Mirror Extensions Affect the Blind Spot Monitoring On a 2024 Toyota Highlander XLE?
  • The K-Source Universal Dual Lens Towing Mirrors # KS3990 are not going to interfere with the blind spot monitoring on your 2024 Toyota Highlander XLE. I will say from personal experience you will likely will not like the dual lens style mirror as they are going to vibrate slightly in high winds driving on the highway and with the much smaller size of the lens makes it difficult to see clearly on the highways. I personally prefer the more simpler CIPA # 7070-2 with a larger single mirror....

  • Low Profile Cargo Basket Option For A 2021 Toyota Highlander
  • Hey Tami, so since your 2021 Toyota Highlander has the flush mount rails, your only option for adding a cargo basket will be to first add a roof rack with crossbars. I suggest going with a Rhino Rack Aero Bar roof rack, which will consist of the following parts: - Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 - RCH Legs for Rhino-Rack Crossbars # RRRCH4 - Custom RCP Fit Kit # RR66QT From there you can add really any cargo basket of your choice. Our best low profile option is the Flint...
