Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2008 Toyota Highlander

Question:

I have a 2008 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. What hitch would you recommend for that? I would prefer one that lets us keep the full sized spare tire stowed.

For your 2008 Toyota Highlander the Curt hitch part # 13534 is our most popular hitch. This hitch has the best price and will allow you to keep your full-sized spare so it would be perfect for you. I attached an install video link that shows this hitch being installed in a 2008 Highlander just like yours as well.

If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

For trailer wiring the part # 118449 would be a great choice as well. I attached an install video for this too.
