I feel the CIPA Universal Towing Mirrors # 7070-2 are the best option for your 2023 Toyota Highlander since there are no custom fit mirror options. These mirrors have a simple strap system which is less likely to fail compared to other complicated mirrors. And unlike some mirrors you can get a Replacement Mirror # 7070 or Straps # 11952STRAP if something should happen to your mirrors.
