Troubleshooting the Installation of a etrailer Trailer Hitch for a 2020 Toyota Highlander
Question:
I bot your trailer hitch for my 2020 Highlander. Everything went well BUT The hitch is fastened to the frame using 6 bolts. 5 attached easily. Th 6th misses the frame connector by about a quarter inch. There is no way to complete the installation. What do you suggest I do?

Hey John, If it were up to me I'd just try and enlarge the hole the last bolt misses for the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e75ZR. You could also try and loosening the other five bolts and try to shimmy the hitch in a way that possibly gets you that quarter inch you're needing.
I've also attached an install video for you to check out as well if you haven't already seen it.
