Best Trailer Hitch And Wiring Harness For 2019 Toyota Highlander Without Factory Tow Package
Question:
Hello, I’m looking to install a receiver hitch on my 2019 Toyota Highlander along with whatever wiring devices I may need. My vehicle does not have a tow package. Could you please recommend all the products I need to configure my vehicle for towing small trailers

We can get your 2019 Toyota Highlander set up for towing, and I'll go ahead and list out the best option for the trailer hitch receiver and wiring harness for you.
- etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98844
- Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118449
For the hitch, I really like this option from etrailer version for a couple of reasons, starting with the fact it has the best weight capacity for your Highlander, and it can be used with a weight distribution if you need it. It is also going to be a fit for your Highlander even if you have the full-size spare tire, as long as it is not on the aluminum rim.
In regard to the wiring harness, the Tekonsha option is the route you want to go because their trailer wiring harnesses have proven to be the most reliable over time. I did verify that the option listed above is the correct one for your '21 Highlander without the towing package.
I have added links below to video installs of the hitch and harness for you to check out as well if you'd like to take a look.
