What is the Correct Trailer Wiring Harness for a 2012 Toyota Highlander
Question:
I plan to order hitch part no. 13534 for my 2012 Toyota Highlander and Im a bit confused over what is recommended for a wiring harness. Im looking for a 4 wire flat with the simplest installation. Would you please advise? Thank you.

Expert Reply:
For a 2012 Toyota Highlander, you can use Curt wiring harness, # C56217, that you have selected. Installation is fairly straight forward as far as wiring harnesses go. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you. You can see that there is not a whole lot to installing a wiring harness.
I have also included a link to the installation instructions for the hitch, part # 13534, and a video showing a typical installation. 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.
