Curt Trailer Hitch for a 2021 Toyota Highlander
Question:
The Curt receiver appears to fit up in behind the bumper better than the Draw Tite. I will only do light towing or a bike rack would the Curt be the best choice? And I want to be very cautious about the wiring harness. What would you recommend there. I attempted to order the vehicle with both but supply is a big problem so aftermarket is going to be the solution. Thanks for your help.

The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C99FR are both great options for a 2021 Toyota Highlander. This hitch is hidden behind the rear bumper. This is a confirmed fit for all models of your 2021 Highlander as long as long as your spare that sits under your vehicle is 18" or less.
In regards to the trailer wiring harness, I recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # TK99FR along with the Mounting Bracket 4-Pole Flat part # 18144 to secure it to your Highlander. Finally, you'll need the etrailer Ball Mount Kit part # 989899.
