The Curt Trailer Hitch # 13534 will allow you to carry a Thule Helium bike rack with your 2012 Toyota Highlander whether you are looking at the Helium Pro Hanging Rack, part # TH9042PRO or # TH9043PRO, or the Helium Platform Rack, part # TH64VR or # TH44VR.
One thing to note though is that Curt currently has the stipulation for this trailer hitch that you need to use the stabilizer strap # 18050 for any non-trailer loads like a bike rack or cargo carrier.
If you'd like to avoid this then you can use the etrailer Trailer Hitch # e98858 instead which has the exact same style except it has a matte black finish which looks more natural on modern vehicles and it hides scratches and dings from road debris better than the standard gloss black finish does.
