Availability of a Curt Hitch for 2012 Toyota Highlander that Keeps the Full Size Spare
Question:
I am interesting in getting the Curt Trailer Hitch for my 2012 Toyota Highlander Base Model 4x4. Is there one that fits this vehicle that has a full size 17 in. spare tire? Will there be an instructional video on the installation posted on your website soon?

Expert Reply:
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # 13534 that you referenced will work on a 2012 Toyota Highlander and will allow you to keep your full sized spare. Check out the picture I attached from the underside of a Highlander that shows this hitch being used with the spare tire installed also.
We also have an installation video for this product on a 2011 Highlander that will be very similar to the 2012 that I attached for you to check out. I also attached installation instructions for you to check out.
