The two Curt hitches for your 2023 Toyota Highlander have different pros and cons but I would go with the Curt part # C99FR if it was me as it's mostly hidden since only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper. This can to up to a 5,000 lb trailer.

The other Curt hitch part # C45CR has a slightly higher towing capacity at 6,000 lb trailer weight but it's a lot more visible since the crosstube also hangs below the rear bumper. This also slightly affects ground clearance as well.
