Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring for 2018 Highlander Hybrid Limited Platinum
Question:
Hitch and wiring set up for our new 2018 Highlander Hybrid Limited Platinum Just bought this without a tow hitch. Do you have a product that will fit this vehicle and look quality? Tow capacity rated at 3500 lbs.

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13200 is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Toyota Highlander Hybrid. This will install into factory weldnuts in your vehicle frame and will require some trimming of an underbody panel. I've attached the installation details to assist as well as that specific trimming diagram.
Then for your vehicle trailer wiring I recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56217. This harness will connect to your factory wiring located behind the interior trim panel in the rear cargo area. Once you've connected the converter then insert the included 10 amp fuse into the fuse holder.
If you will be towing, I recommend the B&W Tow and Stow # BWTS10035B. This ball mount is adjustable to a 3 inch drop or 3-1/2 inch rise and comes with two hitch ball options. It also has a really nice stowable feature that protects your shins as well as gives you a clean look when not in use. I recommend using a hitch lock like # 63232 to secure your investment.
I've attached some videos of these recommendations to assist.
