We have a Class III hitch option for your 2017 Toyota Highlander that will allow re-installation of a full-size spare tire after the hitch is mounted. The etrailer hitch # e98844 allows your full-size spare to remain stowed under the vehicle. I have linked an installation video for you.
If you need a wiring harness you can use 4-pole kit # 118449 which offers easy plug-in installation.
