Trailer Hitch Recommendation for a 2008 Toyota Highlander
Question:
Getting ready to order this hitch - videos etc are very helpful. Two minor questions. Am I correct in assuming that the washers hex bolts come with the hitch? Or do I need to purchase them elsewhere? Although it did not say it in the video,I assume the spare tire will fit back under the car after the installation?

Yes and yes, all of the installation hardware needed to install the Draw Tite Hitch part # 75726 on your 2008 Toyota Highlander are included.
Also, you will be able to keep your spare tire in it's current location after the install is complete. See the pic I attached. I also attached an install video for you to check out.
For trailer wiring you would want the part # 118449.
For ball mounts I recommend the etrailer Ball Mount Kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clip, and a carrying bag.
