The towing capacity I am finding for your 2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid is 3,500 lbs trailer weight and 350 lbs tongue weight. This is the same capacity as the Draw Titch part # 75153 that you referenced which is also a fit for your vehicle. This hitch isn't rated for a weight distribution system so you would not be able to use one.
For trailer wiring you'd then want the Tekonsha kit part # 118413 which is easy to install and very reliable.
Since you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
