Question:
Do I need to have a professional wire my grand highlander for camper towing? I need more than a four flat wiring harness considering electric brakes, etc.

Unless you are experienced and have done an installation like this a few times I would strongly recommend hiring out for a job this complicated. I have worked on cars my entire life and I wouldn't mess with the wiring systems on these new vehicles.
You will need two sets of wiring harnesses since they don't make just a 7-way harness that can be added to your 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander. Additionally, there is no plug in adapter for a brake controller so unless you're using one like the Curt Echo item # C51180 you will need to cut into more wires.
I can help you find an installer in your area that is a part of our network. You will want to scroll down to the left side of the product page item # C26VV and go down below the pictures. There you will find a link that says, Locate installers near me. You will want to input your zip code to get a list of reputable installers near you.
