There is only one difference between the Curt and etrailer trailer hitches that fit your 2023 Toyota Highlander, which is the finish. The Curt has a glossier finish than the matte black finish of the etrailer hitch, so you can choose which you prefer. The hitches that fit your '23 Highlander are the following part numbers:

- etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e75ZR

- Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C99FR

The matte black finish is nice as it hides the inevitable dings, scuffs and scratches better than the glossy finish, but if you don't feel strongly either way about the finish, then just go with the best price, particularly because both hitches have a hidden crosstube, so the only thing you'll see is the receiver.
