In all likelihood your hitch like the Curt # C13394 is just slightly bent, which would cause the holes to be misaligned. Some people will use open steps for leverage, vices and even car jacks to apply controlled force to bend the hitch back.
You will need to check for flaking paint and physical stress marks on the hitch before and after you attempt to bend the hitch back and in order to ensure that it was not physically damaged. If you anything abnormal on the hitch you should not use... view full answer...
7-Way trailer wiring is commonly wires with 5 circuits like you mentioned when just a brake controller is needed like in your situation. To convert a 4-way to a 7-way to install a brake controller like the Brake EVN # TK63VR the install kit/7-way adapter # ETBC7 would be what you'd need.
5-way flats are available but they are normally used for reverse light circuits so I would not recommend using a 5-way with the brake circuit. view full answer...
Generally blind spot mirrors should be placed in the upper or lower outside corners of the main mirror surfaces. This location tends to minimize the interference with the main central portion of the OEM mirror surface and it also tends to increase the blind spot mirrors' capture of images at the edge of your vision range, which is where you want the help. view full answer...
The wiring harness you will need to add a 7-Way vehicle connector to your 2021 Toyota Highlander is the Tekonsha OEM Replacement Vehicle Wiring Harness w Brake Controller Adapter - 7 Way Trailer Connector item # TK57VR. This wiring harness is custom fit and plugs directly into Highlander's OEM wiring without cutting or splicing. This harness also includes a brake controller adapter for a Tekonsha brake controller.
For a great brake controller I recommend the Tekonsha Prodigy P3 Trailer... view full answer...
Your 2006 Toyota Highlander does not have a brake controller port under the dash of the vehicle so we do not have any install harness that would work.
You will need to start with a 4-way (if you do not have one). For that you would want the # 118413.
From there you would need to convert the 4-way to a 7-way so that you can install the brake controller. For that you will want the Brake Controller Install Kit and 7-Way Adapter part # ETBC7. I attached installation instructions and an install... view full answer...
The connection point that is in the rear of your 2014 Toyota Highlander will be on the driver side. You will need to open the tailgate, remove the access panels, scuff panels, trunk floor panels and trays to access the 4-pin connector.
There is also another connection point up front on the driver side. It is located underneath the dash on the driver's side between the emergency brake pedal and the brake pedal.
I attached installation instructions and a review video of this product for... view full answer...
The tie down brackets, if present, on the 2005 Toyota Highlander are bolted to the frame the same as the hitch gets bolted to the frame. They are not a load-bearing part of the vehicle and removing them will not compromise the vehicle at all.
All vehicles have some sort of tie down and for the most part they are used to secure the vehicle to the transport carrier that takes them from the factory to the dealerships. If for some reason the vehicle needed to be pulled from behind, you could... view full answer...
I have linked you to a current copy of the installation instructions for the Curt # 13445 Class III hitch.
The torque specifications are mentioned in step # 4. If you wish, you can print the instruction sheet for future reference.
I am sorry the instructions were not included with your hitch. view full answer...
I never go off the color that the wire is supposed to be. You will want to locate the brake light switch located under the dashboard. Once you have located the switch you will need to identify which wire gets power when the brake pedal is depressed. A Power Probe # PTW2991 will help you to identify the correct wire.
The Installation instructions found on the Product Page # C24VV will help you identify the correct wiring required for the Brake Controller installation. view full answer...
I just spoke to my contact at Curt about the Curt Echo Mobile Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 and they informed me that there are no RF interferences from other devices that they are aware of such as cell phones and radios etc. It does afterall use a cell phone to apply the manual override and setup the controller so you have to think this went into the design process. view full answer...
The install of the Curt hitch part # C13200 for your 2016 Toyota Highlander isn't too bad. If you check out the install video link I attached below you can see the entire process outlined. You don't have to use a jack to lift the rear of the vehicle in the air either. We use a lift to make filming the process easier is all.
You'll need a ratchet, a torque wrench, 10, 17, and 19 mm sockets, a 6 inch socket extension, a screw driver, something to trim the fascia with (dremel or rotary tool),... view full answer...
Over time, the hitch manufacturers can change the torque specifications of the install hardware which is why we don't publish the torque specs. If you go to page # 2 of the installation instructions, step # 5 gives the correct torque spec.
If you don't have the installation instructions handy, I've linked you to a .pdf copy. You can also see an install video by clicking the other provided link. view full answer...
Be sure to consult the vehicle owners manual for any restrictions regarding the use of tire chains on your 2013 Toyota Highlander as well as reducing driving speeds are a must.
The basic rule is that snow tire chains should always go on the drive wheels. So with a FWD vehicle place the snow tire chains # PW1046 you referenced on the front tires. On an AWD you will install the snow tire chains on the front wheels but getting 2 sets for all the wheels will add steering and braking benefits.... view full answer...
As long as you have the Thule Force Alpine roof cargo box # TH613 slide as far forward as possible on the roof of your 2021 Toyota Highlander it would not interfere with the install and use of the Rhino Rack Batwing Awning # RR33100 that you referenced. view full answer...
It appears as though some of the hybrid models come with an exhaust shield like you described. This will need to be permanently removed for the installation of the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e75ZR. It should be held in place by a screw and a fastener. Remove them and you will be able to get it out of the way and complete your installation. view full answer...
On the Carpod cargo carrier # M2200-01-02 the sides hold together with pins like in the video I have linked shows. The top part is held to the sides with little clips. I have included a picture that shows the clips a little closer. view full answer...
The storage bin on the left side of the cargo area on a 2008 Toyota Highlander is held in by the fasteners but it also has some tabs that fit into the side of the cargo area side panels. The resistance you are feeling is probably those tabs still holding on. Take a look at the video I have linked that shows our installer removing the bin to install the harness. He states that it has to be manipulated around the flooring to the right of it to get it to come out. view full answer...
The Xtreme Off-Road Swing-Up Trailer Jack w/ Dual Wheels # ORJW350D does not come with the bearings installed. You can use something like a rubber mallet or a block of wood and hammer to tap them into place until they are flush. view full answer...
In general weight distribution systems don't like tight jackknife turns that you can get yourself into when reversing a trailer. The Blue Ox Weight Distribution # BLU45FR that you referenced is no exception to that. If you are backing up mainly in a straight line this system would work great for you.
If you will end up in a tight turn you will need to remove the spring bars.
