The best option for a trailer hitch for towing with your 2011 Toyota Highlander is one from Draw-Tite:
- Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75586
The reason for that is Draw-Tite is the only one that offers support for weight distribution if that's something you're going to be using for your trailer. The other thing you will need for your '11 Highlander is a trailer wiring harness, with the correct fit being the following:
- T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118449
