I did some research and I checked the Curt website to see if you can get the converter for your 2017 Toyota Highlander separately. You will have to get the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector, part # C56217, to get this converter.

I have included a product description link and a video of this part being installed on a 2017 Toyota Highlander below.
