All Hardware and Installation Instructions Included!
Whatever your task at hand -- whether it's launching that boat before daybreak, setting up your camper before the rush or getting a final load to the dump before close -- CURT class 3 trailer hitches offer the strength needed for serious towing. They make it easy to hitch up and Bring It, offering a vehicle-specific fit and the weight capacity to handle a variety of trailers. Custom class 3 hitches are the most common type of receiver hitch for pickup trucks and SUVs. Because of their weight range, they are also found on full-size cars, crossovers and minivans. Each custom-fit class 3 hitch package is made for vehicle-specific mounting. This particular kit fits certain years of the Toyota Highlander (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 6,000 lbs. GTW and 900 lbs. TW. It is also compatible with a weight distribution hitch for level towing and a rating of 8,000 lbs. WD and 900 lbs. WDTW. CURT class 3 trailer hitches are typically used to attach and haul utility trailers, boat trailers, campers, snowmobile or ATV haulers and more (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Each class 3 hitch has a 2" receiver tube and is tested in accordance with SAE J684 for safety. To ensure that CURT class 3 receiver hitches have what it takes for serious trailering, they are designed using a hands-on approach and are constructed with rugged, high-strength steel and precise welding. We also protect our class 3 hitches in a co-cured finish of liquid A-coat and black powder coat for superior resistance to rust, chipping and UV damage.
CURT custom wiring connectors are the easiest way to outfit your vehicle with a CURT trailer wiring connection. They are built with some of the most advanced technology in the industry, and each one is custom-fitted to work with a specific make and model. Some automotive manufacturers install a special socket on the vehicle to be used for vehicle-to-trailer wiring. Although this special socket is not equipped on every vehicle, a CURT custom wiring connector -- also called a T-connector -- utilizes the socket for simple, stress-free installation. Rather than requiring you to cut, splice and solder into your vehicle's wiring system, the custom wiring connector uses a single OEM-compatible plug and instantly provides a standard, universal vehicle-to-trailer wiring connection, typically in the form a 4-way flat. All CURT custom wiring connectors are made vehicle-specific for the easiest possible installation and the best fit. This particular plug-in connector provides a 4-way flat socket and is designed to be a custom wiring option for certain years of the Toyota Highlander (factory tow package required; to verify your vehicle compatibility, see application info). It comes with all necessary hardware to establish a solid connection. It also comes with a dust cover to keep the connector socket clean when not in use. To ensure long-lasting reliability, all CURT custom wiring connectors are thoroughly tested for optimal functionality. Stress is the last thing you should feel when towing a trailer -- whether you're hauling your RV to that favorite camping destination, your ATVs up to the hunting grounds or your fishing boat to the new hidden hotspot. At CURT, we think your towing equipment should add to the enjoyment of your experience, not detract from it.

The manual does not specify the vehicle make, model, or year compatibility. The hitch is designed for vehicles with M12 weldnuts in the frame rails, a rear fascia, underbody panels, and an exhaust system configured as shown in the assembly diagram. Contact CURT at 877.287.8634 or visit curtmfg.com to confirm fitment for your specific vehicle.

The kit includes 6 hex bolts (M12-1.25 x 35mm, Class 10.9) and 6 conical-toothed washers (1/2"). The hitch uses existing M12 weldnuts in the vehicle frame for mounting.
You must remove: the driver-side underbody panel (7 fasteners), two rubber plugs from each frame rail, three threaded plastic inserts from the driver-side frame rail, three M12 bolts securing the metal fascia tab and tow loop from the passenger-side frame rail, and one fascia screw and metal fascia tab from the passenger-side underbody panel. These removed components should be returned to the vehicle owner.
No, drilling is not required. The hitch uses existing M12 weldnuts in the vehicle frame. However, trimming of the lower fascia exhaust air deflector and underbody panel is required.
Mark the lower fascia exhaust air deflector 2 inches from the hinge and trim as shown in the manual to allow room for the hitch. Dimensions for underbody panel trimming are approximate (4" and 3" as shown in the trim diagram). Confirm fit prior to trimming, and use the ribs of the underbody panel as cutting guides.
All M12-1.25 hex bolts must be torqued to 86 ft-lbs. Use a torque wrench to ensure proper tightening and to help prevent damage to the product or vehicle.
1. Remove seven fasteners from the driver-side underbody panel and lower it. 2. Remove two rubber plugs from each frame rail and three threaded plastic inserts from the driver-side frame rail. 3. Remove three M12 bolts securing the metal fascia tab and tow loop from the passenger-side frame rail, and remove the fascia screw and metal fascia tab from the underbody panel. 4. Mark and trim the lower fascia exhaust air deflector 2" from the hinge. 5. Raise the hitch over the exhaust, align holes with frame weldnuts, and secure using provided M12 bolts and conical-toothed washers, torqued to 86 ft-lbs. 6. Mark and trim the underbody panel using the trim diagram, then reattach using the fasteners removed in Step 1.
The conical-toothed washers should be placed with the toothed side facing the hitch side plate, as shown in the assembly diagram on page 2. The hex bolt passes through the washer into the frame weldnut.
Spray lubricant or compressed air into the weldnut holes to remove debris. For heavy debris, use a wire brush. Take care not to damage the threads.
