I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C99FR for your 2022 Toyota Highlander Hybrid XLE. It is a sturdy hitch with a 500 pound max tongue weight capacity and a max tow weight of 5000 pounds.

Some install notes you may want to be away of are:
The rubber mount that holds up the muffler and tailpipe may require removal during installation.
Trimming or removal of underbody panel required for installation
Hitch may interfere with the Hands-free Liftgate sensors and functionality may be very limited or possibly lost.
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.

To complete the towing set up I suggest getting the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches - 2" Ball - 3/4" Rise, 2" Drop - 7.5K # C45534 and the Curt Upgraded Circuit Protected Powered Tail Light Converter w Hardwire Kit and Tester - 4-Pole Flatm # C59496.
