For your 2007 Toyota Highlander Hybrid, I recommend the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch # 75153. This is a Class III trailer hitch with a 2 inch receiver rated for 300 pounds tongue weight and 3,500 pounds gross trailer weight. I have included a link to the installation instructions and a link to a video showing a typical installation for you.

If you plan on doing some towing I also recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit, # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag. You mentioned not needing trailer wiring but if you ever need to add some or replace a harness use # C59236 if the vehicle does not have a tow package or # 118248 if it does.

If you are using the hitch for an accessory like a bike rack or a cargo carrier, the 2 inch receiver on the hitch will afford you many more options over a 1-1/4 inch hitch and you will not have to use a stabilization strap like you would with the CURT hitch.

I am starting to believe its not possible.....

I am guessing the 4 pin you are talking about is on the RX350 from the tow package. What connector is on the trailer?
