For your 2012 Toyota Highlander Hybrid, the Draw-Tite Max-E-Loader Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # 75726 is a confirmed fit. I've attached a video of this installation for you.
For your trailer wiring, I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118449 if you don't have the converter for the tow package under your dash. If you do have the tow package converter already under your dash, then I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness for Factory Tow Package - 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 56042.
For a ball mount, I recommend the B&W Tow & Stow 2-Ball Mount - 2" Hitch - 5" Drop, 5-1/2" Rise - 10K - Black # BWTS10037B. This ball mount is adjustable to fit many different heights of trailers so you will be sure to be able to tow your Jayco Sport level. It comes with two hitch ball options of standard sizes to match your trailer coupler. It comes with a 2 inch and a 2-5/16 inch option. This ball mount is really nice in that it has a stowable feature when not in use. This will not only give you a clean look on the back of your Highlander, but it also will protect your shins when you are loading and unloading cargo. This comes in handy in a garage where you need to maneuver around the back of your vehicle as well. I recommend using a hitch lock like # e98882 to protect your investment.
