Question:
I have a 2012 Toyota Hylander Hybrid. I just purchased a bike rack model NSR 4-Bike. Can you please recommend a hitch. Thanks

Expert Reply:
We offer several trailer hitches designed to fit your 2012 Toyota Highlander. When considering any hitch-mounted accessory you will want to make sure you have the clearance from the back bumper.
The hitch I recommend is the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch, part # 75586. This is a Class lll hitch and has a 2 inch receiver opening. I have attached a link to an installation video for this trailer hitch on a 2012 Highlander you can check out. As noted in the video, the clearance from the hitch pin to the back of the bumper when this hitch is installed is 1-1/2 inches and the clearance from the ground to the top of the hitch receiver us 14-1/4 inches.
