Will the EcoHitch EH35VR Work w/ a Full size Spare on a 2023 Toyota Highlander?
Question:
I have a 2023 Toyota Highlander. Will the EcoHitch work with the full size spare? Your other hitches say 18" only but this one doesn't say anything.

Yes, it will! The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch item # EH35VR you were looking at is the only hitch available for the 2023 Toyota Highlander that is compatible with a 20" spare. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Toyota with included hardware.
The EcoHitch item # EH35VR is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver. It has a 5,000 lbs towing capacity and a 750 lbs maximum tongue weight. I really like this hitch because the crosstube is concealed behind the rear bumper and the only part visible is the 2" receiver.
We had a chance to install this hitch on a 2023 Highlander recently. I have linked the installation video we made below so you can see how to get it set up on yours.
If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # TK74FR if you have the factory towing package or item # TK99FR if you do not have the factory towing package and a ball mount kit item # C45534.
