Fit of etrailer Brand e98844 Class III Hitch on 2018 Toyota Highlander
Question:
Just checking for sure the e98844 trailer hitch will fit my 2018 Toyota Highlander
asked by: Ed
Expert Reply:
The etrailer brand Class III hitch you referenced, part # e98844 is indeed a confirmed fit for the 2018 Toyota Highlander unless the spare tire is mounted on an aluminum rim which would make the tire wide enough that it would interfere with installing the hitch.
If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like part # 118449. For a ball mount, use # AMSC2 and # 19260 for a 1-7/8 or # 63845 for a 2 inch trailer ball.
I've linked to some installation videos that you might find helpful.
