Hi Charles,
To add a 7-way onto your 2017 Toyota Highlander you'll need the Tekonsha # 22119. This kit comes with everything needed to install a 7-way as well a a wire harness (Tekonsha specific) for a brake controller. You can use a no-drill mounting bracket like part # 18136 to mount the 7-way connector to the trailer hitch.
If you're intending on towing a trailer with brakes then I recommend the Redarc Tow-Pro Liberty # RED24FR along with their adapter # 331-TPH-017 to connect to the Tekonsha wire harness. If you have a blank switch space you can use part # 331-TPSI-002 to mount the control knob in the dash without having to drill any holes.
I've attached a couple of videos below to help walk you through the installation process.
