Curt trailer hitch # C13200 is compatible with the full size spare tire on the 2015 Toyota Highlander. When raising or lowering the spare though you will need to angle it some to clear the hitch instead of just straight up or down. As long as the spare tire cover is a factory option the Curt hitch will fit it and work fine. This hitch also comes with all needed install hardware.

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 you would then want the part # C56217.
