The Curt Class III, part # C99FR is a confirmed fit for your Highlander. The hitch will fit models with an 18" or smaller spare tire under vehicle; larger spare tires will not be able to be stored under the vehicle once the hitch is installed.

If you're planning on towing with the hitch, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness like # TK99FR, a ball mount like # 2923 and a trailer ball like # 19261 for a 1-7/8 inch or # 63845 for a 2 inch ball.

I've linked to an installation video for the hitch that you might find helpful.
