I recommend the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98844 as a solid choice for either towing or carrying accessories like a bike rack. The attractive matte black finish is more scratch-resistant than the glossy finish alternatives and blends in well with the rear undercarriage of your 2019 Toyota Highlander as you can see from the included customer photo.

If you're in the market for a hitch mounted bike rack as well, the Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Platform Rack # KU74FR is a very popular option among our customers. The Transfer's lower positioning and step-through design mean easier loading of your bikes. In addition, the ratcheting hooks and clips mean your bike is secured without making frame contact. Finally, the rack tilts even while loaded with bikes to provide you access to the rear of your Highlander as needed.

Included are video resources with more information on both the Transfer and the etrailer hitch.
