Ball mounts are the main connection point between your hitch and trailer. When selecting the right ball mount for your Toyota Highlander, ensure it’s compatible with your existing equipment, including the receiver size, coupler size, trailer height, and weight capacity.

Trailer hitch pins are used to secure the ball mount shank or other towing accessories into your Toyota Highlander’s receiver hitch. Some ball mounts come with a hitch pin included, but if not, make sure to choose a pin that fits the right hole size and length.

Protect your Toyota Highlander’s tow hitch with a receiver tube cover. This prevents debris from entering the opening when it’s not in use. When choosing the right hitch cover, make sure it matches the dimensions of the receiver tube.

1. Can you put a trailer hitch on a Toyota Highlander?

Yes, you can absolutely put a trailer hitch on a Toyota Highlander. In fact, CURT offers a variety of custom-fit hitches that will work great with almost any Toyota Highlander year or trim level. 

2. How do I know which trailer hitch fits my Toyota Highlander?

To find the perfect trailer hitch for your Toyota Highlander, use the CURT vehicle lookup tool at the top of our trailer hitch page. This tool ensures compatibility based on your Highlander’s year, style, and trim package.

3. What kind of hitch do I need for a Toyota Highlander? 

For a Toyota Highlander, the most suitable trailer hitch is typically a Class 3 hitch with a 2-inch receiver. This type of tow hitch is compatible with most Highlanders manufactured from around 2008 to the present and is the most versatile option for towing and carrying accessories like bike racks or cargo carriers. It's also suitable for towing small to medium trailers, pop-up campers, small boats, and utility trailers. 

4. How much does it cost to put a hitch on a Toyota Highlander?

The cost to put a hitch on a Toyota Highlander typically ranges between $300 and $600, depending on a few factors. The hitch itself usually costs between $150 and $250 for a quality Class 3 model, which is the most common choice for Highlanders. If your vehicle doesn't already have one, you'll also need a trailer wiring harness, which usually adds another $40 to $100. This harness is necessary if you plan on towing anything that requires brake lights or turn signals.

Labor costs for professional installation can vary quite a bit depending on your location and the shop you go to. Most shops charge between $100 and $200 for installation, which usually takes one to two hours. In some cases, especially with newer models, you might also need to trim or remove a portion of the rear underbody panel to properly install the hitch. This can add a bit of extra time or cost if you’re having it done professionally.

5. Can I install a tow hitch myself? 

Yes, you can install a tow hitch on your Toyota Highlander yourself, especially if you’re reasonably comfortable with tools and working under a vehicle. Most CURT hitches are made to bolt directly onto pre-existing holes in the vehicle’s frame, which means there’s usually no need for drilling or welding. This makes the installation fairly straightforward for a DIY job.
