These step-by-step instructions and video details installing a trailer hitch on a 2017 Toyota Highlander, and will be similar to replacement procedures on your 2014, 2015, 2016, 2018, and 2019 models. A tow hitch, also known as a trailer or receiver hitch, allows you to hook a trailer for towing. It includes a reinforced receiver that accepts a certain size draw bar, and each one is rated for a specific weight class. The hitch you choose will have a towing class that corresponds with the towing capabilities of your Toyota Highlander. You should never haul anything that exceeds the towing capacity of either your tow hitch or your vehicle.

A trailer hitch connects a trailer to your vehicle and allows it to haul large loads. Hitches may come standard for some vehicles, but other cars may need one installed.. Today, we’ll be installing a trailer hitch to a 2017 Toyota Highlander, and procedures will be similar for all Highlander models from 2014 through 2019.

Before you decide on a trailer hitch, make sure your towing class corresponds with the capabilities of your vehicle. For safety reasons, you should never haul anything that exceeds the towing capacity of your hitch or your vehicle.

Once you’ve got your supplies together, here’s what you’ll do:
Park on a level surface.
Chock the front wheels… and use a jack and jack stands to lift and support the rear end of the vehicle.
Remove the spare tire to give yourself room to work.
Locate the flap near the exhaust outlet… and use your hack saw to trim the outer edge.
Use a flathead screwdriver to remove the push clips securing the underbody panels on the driver’s side… and the passenger side, if needed. You may also have to remove three 10mm bolts and two plastic 12mm bolts.
Remove those panels and set them aside.
If necessary, use your hack saw to trim the plastic tab to make room for the hitch
