What Is The Best Trailer Hitch For My 2023 Toyota Highlander Platinum Model

Howdy! I have a 2023 Toyota Highlander Platinum. I am looking for a 2" trailer hitch to use with my Thule bike rack. I see you have several available and am wondering which is best. Thank

I can definitely help and point you in the right direction.
For your 2023 Toyota Highlander Platinum I recommend the Curt class 3 hitch # C45CR. This is a 2" reciever so it will be perfect for your Thule bike rack. I prefer this hitch over the others for a few reasons. First because it is the strongest hitch available for your car. This is rated for towing up to 6000 lbs and can hold up to 900 lbs tongue weight. So even for larger trailers and heavier loads this hitch will hold up nicely. Curt also uses a durable gloss black powder coat. So not only will it look nice on the back of your car, it will also resist rust very well. Curt makes all of their hitches here in the USA so you know it is good quality.
I know this is primarily for your bike rack, but we do have plug and play trailer wiring available # TK99FR. This has a 4-pole flat connector, which powers the trailer brake lights, tail lights and turn signals. It just plugs in behind a trim panel in the cargo area on the drivers side. I have included links to install videos for both items below.
