• How to Carry Bike with Fenders and Carbon Frame Bike with Platform Bike Rack
• As of right now there aren't any bike racks which work like that so your best solution is to use a frame hitch mount bike rack an adapter bar like part # TH982XT for the Townie 5i and then the Thule Carbon Bike Frame Protector # TH984101 for your Trek Domane SL 5. The RockyMounts BackStage Bike Rack # RKY10002 is a nice bike rack but since it secures bikes by the wheel it won't be good for the Townie fender. Instead I recommend using either the Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR or the Destination...

• Recommended 2 Bike Rack for E-Bike and Cruiser with Aggressive Step Through Frames
• The Thule EasyFold XT # TH903202 is a great choice for heavy bikes and I almost never steer anyone away from it, but I recommend using the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes - 2" Hitches - Frame Mount # Y36FR instead. The OnRamp will tilt away from your Highlander to allow you access to the rear cargo area and comes with a ramp to make loading your bikes easier, so it's very similar to the EasyFold XT in those respects. However, the advantage of the OnRamp is that the clamps that...

• Trailer Connector Recommendation for 2018 Toyota Highlander
• The correct connector will depend on the trailer you're planning on towing. If the trailer has a simple 4-pole trailer connecter, I'd recommend the Tekonsha # 118449. The connector/harness comes in 2 parts, the converter box and the harness with the 4-pole connector. Both pieces would install into the factory connetors located under the rear hatch threshold as shown in the provide photo. The converter plugs into the 10 pin socket closer to the driver's side and the trailer connector itself...

• Recommended Ball Mount for Towing 5x8 Rental Trailer With 2020 Toyota Highlander
• The U-haul 5x8 trailer has a maximum GVWR (maximum recommended weight of trailer plus contents) of 2700 lbs. The trailer's tongue weight, which could be anywhere from 100 to 400 or so lbs will cause the rear suspension of your Highlander to squat to a certain degree. I'd go with a ball mount that provides a 2 inch rise to account for the anywhere between 1-3 inches of squat you'll experience. This will leave the trailer close enough to level that everything will work fine. We offer the...

• Determining Which Coil SumoSprings For Rear Of 2016 Toyota Highlander FWD
• I have a different option for you, but while you are correct that the # CSS-1168F is a confirmed fit for your 2016 Toyota Highlander Front Wheel Drive it is designed for the front suspension and would not help while towing a travel trailer. While there is not a confirmed suspension enhancement option for the rear of your Highlander, if you can measure the distance between the coil springs on the rear of your vehicle I would be happy to see if there is a option that will fit. You will want...

• What Rise/Drop Ball Mount is Needed for 2003 Toyota Highlander to Tow U-Haul Trailer
• The standard U-Haul trailer coupler height is 18 inches from the ground to the bottom of the coupler lip. And the height from the top of the Reese hitch you have on your 2003 Toyota Highlander (now part # 41541) to the ground would be 15-1/4 inches so you'd need a rise ball mount that's right at 2-3/4 inches like the Draw Tite ball mount part # 2753 with a 2 inch ball # 63845 and you'd be set!

• 7-Way Adapter for Highlander with 4-Way to Install Curt Echo Mobile Brake Controller

• Parts Needed To Install Tekonsha Prodigy P3 90195 In 2016 Toyota Highlander 7-way Connector
• I would be happy to help! It sounds like you have a 7-way connector installed on your 2016 Toyota Highlander that does not have all of the functions connected. If that is the case then you will need the # 10-2-1 and # 5506. One wire from the # 10-2-1 will run from the 7-way connector to the the positive terminal of the battery with 40 amp circuit breaker included with the # 5506, and the other wire of the # 10-2-1 will run from the 7-way connector to where the trailer brake controller...

• Ball Mount Recommendation for 2013 Toyota Highlander Towing Travel Trailer
• Thanks for all of the dimensions you listed. Since drop/rise needs the measurement from the ball mount platform and not the top of the ball you will need to take one more measurement to be sure. That measurement compared to the 14-1/2 inches is the rise/drop you would need. Check out the help article I attached for more info on this. For trailer wiring you would then want the part # 118449.

• Recommended Hitch and Wiring for Towing a Travel Trailer with a 2013 Toyota Highlander
• Good news! I can help you equip the 2013 Toyota Highlander with the parts needed to tow that 3,500lbs travel trailer. First thing you will need is a hitch. For this I recommend the Draw-Tite # 75726, because it has a tongue weight of 750lbs and a towing weight of 5,000lbs. It also won't require you to use a stabilization strap like the Curt hitch often does. I have linked a video of this hitch being installed for you to check out. Next for the wiring, since you have the Highlander...

• Weight Distribution System for 2011 Toyota Highlander Towing 17 FT Casita Travel Trailer
• As you all ready mentioned, knowing the tongue weight of your trailer, loaded and ready to go, is going to be the most important factor in determining which size weight-distribution system you should use. If the bars of the system you choose are rated too high for your setup, they will create a rigid ride and this can result in a bouncing trailer. On the other hand, if the bars are not rated high enough the system will be unable to properly distribute the weight and it will be virtually...

• Can a Weight Distribution System Be Used On 3,000 lb - 4,000 lb Trailer with Surge Brakes
• There are some weight distribution systems that can be used with trailers that have surge brakes and there are some which cannot. The style which use chains style spring bars cannot but the style that use standard spring bars can. The Husky Center Line Weight Distribution System part # HT32216 which uses standard style springs bars therefore compatible with surge brakes is one of the best value systems on the market. It has sway-control as well as a pre-torqued hitch ball.
