Trailer Hitch for 2019 Toyota Highlander for Carrying Thule Apex 5 XT Bike Rack
Question:
I am looking at the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2 Item # e98844 on a 2019 Highlander for use with a Thule Apex XT 5 bike carrier They ask for: - 150lbs support - 1.5in pin hole depth - 1.4in receiver depth - 7.0in bumper depth Will this work without issue? Thanks you.

Expert Reply:
The etrailer.com hitch part # e98844 is a standard style of trailer hitch which we know the Thule Apex XT5 part # TH9026XT fits without requiring you to measure anything prior!
The only other hitch I'd recommend over the # e98844 though is the Draw Tite part # 76156 because only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper which gives a very concealed look and also helps with ground clearance. I attached an install video and picture of it installed as well. It will also work perfectly with the Thule Apex. The measurement requirements Thule mentioned are mainly for some of the OEM hitches vehicle manufacturers are coming out with that use non-standard dimensions like Subaru.
