Will the Curt Trailer Hitch 13534 Fit a 2012 Toyota Highlander with 19 Inch Spare Tire
Question:
Does the hitch work with the 19 inche spare tire option on the 2012 Toyota Highlander Limited Edition? I see that the 17 inch spare is ok, but will the larger tire pose a problem?

Expert Reply:
I have contacted Curt on this hitch, # 13534, and the 2012 Toyota Highlander before and they have indicated that the hitch will fit if you have a 19 inch spare. I have included links to the installation instructions and a link to a video showing a typical installation for you.
If you plan on doing some towing, I recommend the etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. it comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag. For trailer wiring, use # 118449. I have included a link to the installation instructions for you to view.
