Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and 4-Way Flat Wiring Harness For a 2022 Toyota Highlander

Question:

I just got my 2022 Toyota Highlander and I need to get a receiver and 4-way wiring harness for it. I am a little confused as there are different options for XSE and different options with the wiring. Can you tell me what I need.

I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e75ZR for your 2022 Toyota Highlander. This receiver will fit both the XSE, non XSE trim levels including hybrid. This class III receiver is rated for a maximum tongue weight of 500lbs and maximum trailer towing weight of 5,000lbs. Be sure to not exceed any weight capacities given from Toyota on your Highlander.

The Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # TK99FR will connect to the factory connectors on your Highlander. This makes adding a 4-way flat wiring harness plug and play. You will be able to attach this connector to most small trailers that you may tow as well as Auxiliary Lights # C53201. The auxiliary lights are going to be needed if your hitch mounted accessory impairs the view of your tail lights.

The etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900 will provide you with 2 ball mounts, a 2" hitch ball, 1-7/8" hitch ball, 2 hitch pins and a storage bag. This will come in handy as it allows you to be able to connect to most small trailers with just this kit. And the storage bag allows you to keep everything together and easily take with you when you need it.
