Driving the family up to the campground? Hauling tools and equipment from the home improvement store? Pulling your boat to the nearby swimming hole? Whatever your destination and whatever trailer you're towing, Bring It® with a CURT trailer hitch!

CURT class 3 trailer hitches are designed, built and tested to accommodate a wide variety of towing applications. They are used on everything from full-size cars, vans and crossovers to light-duty pickup trucks and SUVs. Class 3 trailer hitches are perfect for towing fishing boat trailers, popup campers, ATV trailers, utility trailers and much more. They are also ideal for adding storage space to your vehicle with a hitch-mounted cargo carrier or bike rack (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest-rated towing component).

Each CURT class 3 hitch is engineered to fit on a specific vehicle. This provides the best possible fit and easiest installation. This particular custom class 3 hitch fits specific years of the Toyota Highlander (to verify vehicle compatibility, see the CURT application guide or use the Vehicle Lookup tool). It is designed to integrate with the vehicle's existing features and offer a reliable connection to your trailer.

This Toyota Highlander hitch is stringently tested in accordance with SAE J684 to ensure a weight carrying capacity of 5,000 lbs. GTW and 750 lbs. TW. It also features a 2" receiver tube opening to accept ball mount or other hitch accessory with a 2" x 2" shank.

From class 1 to class 5, all CURT custom-fit receiver hitches are made in the USA to ensure quality from design to finish (may include imported hardware). They are designed with hands-on engineering for a precise fit. They are welded using a combination of manual and robotic operations for speed and accuracy. Finally, they are finished with our unique co-curing process. Each hitch is dipped in a liquid A-coat for rust prevention, inside and out, and then co-cured in a durable black powder coat finish for maximum rust, chip and UV resistance.

Every CURT custom hitch design is thoroughly tested at our in-house testing facility in Detroit, MI. We adhere to the proposed SAE J684 testing protocols to make sure that the hitch you mount on your vehicle will be a dependable means to enjoy your lifestyle.

    Pretty easy but it took extra work

    As many on line reviewers on many sites my holes did not line up either :(. I had to use a steel pipe to pry it to get rear bolts on both sides in. If the mfgr would allow more slotted holes then I would have probably have been able to get it done in an hour. Cutting the plastic panels and getting them back in just took time. Overall I did it all in 2 hours and by myself using a floor jack to help hold it. box also arrived with part of the corner sticking out and I agree that much better packaging needs to be designed for your products.

    2008 Toyota Highlander Hitch curt 13534

    Easy to install except that the product gets bent in shipping. So the left side, drivers side does not line up. Had to bend it back into shape. Other than that it was easy. Curt should use a cardboard mold to protect the item in shipping. Because it is loose in the box it can get bent by deliver carriers.

    Easiest thing to install

    I always go to my Toyota dealer each time I need any work to be done for my Highlander 2011. So I had no experience of dealing with car works. This time I thought to do differently and purchased the hitch online and tried installing on my own after viewing the installation video. I gained confidence after watching the video which detailed each step of installation. Also I was able to install the hitch without a second person help for lifting the hitch with use of stepping stool on one side. If you are DIY person, go ahead and install on your own and save money. One suggestion is use torque wrench to remove both tow loops and passenger side under body panel as I found difficult to open with RATCHET .

    Not Easy - Not done

    This wasn't my first choice of hitch, but what I wanted was back-ordered by over a month. Anyway, of 7 bolts, 4 lined up on my 2010 Highlander's frame. I guess I'll try the C-Clamp method to bend it over to line up. The product certainly seems strong enough, but 1 bolt on the left and 3 on the right isn't going to get it done.

    Difficult to Install, Despite Experience

    I've read mixed reviews about this hitch, seeing many people say the hitch fit and bolted on easily and quickly. My experience was different.

    I drive a 2013 Highlander Limited and installing this hitch was extremely difficult and took significant manipulation. I believe either the hitch isn't designed specifically for the 2013 (maybe a slight design changed by Toyota), or there are inconsistencies in production of the hitch causing about a 1 cm width shortage.

    The install took about two hours overall with myself and a friend both full involved, and both having experience installing this type of hardware on different vehicles.

    To complete the job, we bolted the top two (horizontal) bolts finger-tight to mount the right side, then had to use a 6" C-clamp on the left (driver) side to pull the hitch into alignment with the holes. This was trial and error, as we had tried pretty much everything else.

    I am still giving this hitch four stars because the finished product is very nice on the vehicle. I guess if you do the install yourself, you earn every bit of it.

    Summary: If you have no experience with installing this kind of thing, I wouldn't get this hitch. If you like challenges, it's a good value.

    The installation of your hitch was by far the easiest

    I just installed a rear mount CURT #13534 hitch on my new 2010 Toyota Highlander Hybrid, I am 73 years old and over the years I have installed many hitches and they were always a challenge because a custom hitch was an approximate fit and I had to also drill some of the mounting holes, most took the better part of the day and also required some welding just to get it done. The installation of your hitch was by far the easiest I have ever put on, it fit perfectly in every way and as the installation sheet stated took less than an hour, I just wanted to thank you for doing what you say about your hitches, they fit and are well made. Thanks, Roger.
