A Class 3 hitch puts a bike rack, a cargo carrier, a utility trailer or a small boat behind your 2004 Toyota Highlander. CURT 13530 is a Class 3 hitch with a 2-inch receiver, rated to 3,500 lb gross trailer weight and 350 lb tongue weight, $312.24 CAD. Shipping is free anywhere in Canada.

CURT calls the install a novice job, about 30 minutes with hand tools.

Trailer lights are a plug-in job on this one. CURT 55245 is the four-flat plug harness for the 2004 Toyota Highlander, $50.85 CAD, and it clicks into the factory connector so you're not splicing wires behind the bumper. A second harness fits as well; both are below.

What you need to tow with a 2004 Toyota Highlander

A bike rack only needs the hitch. A trailer needs all three, and every piece ships free anywhere in Canada.

  1. CURT 13530 hitch, $312.24 CAD. The receiver that bolts to the Highlander.
  2. CURT 55245 wiring harness, $50.85 CAD. Plugs in, no splicing; the trailer lights follow the Highlander's.
  3. CURT 45836 ball mount, $41.70 CAD. Ball mount with the ball already on it, ready to hook a trailer. Bigger coupler? CURT 45041 carries a 2-5/16-inch ball, $62.42 CAD.

2004 Toyota Highlander hitch questions

Which trailer hitch fits a 2004 Toyota Highlander?

CURT 13530 is a Class 3 hitch with a 2-inch receiver, rated to 3,500 lb gross trailer weight and 350 lb tongue weight.

How much can a 2004 Toyota Highlander tow with this hitch?

The hitch is rated to 3,500 lb gross trailer weight and 350 lb tongue weight, or 4,000 lb with a weight-distribution hitch. Your Highlander has its own tow rating in the owner's manual, and the lower number is your limit. A loaded bike rack counts against tongue weight too.

Do I need a wiring harness for the 2004 Toyota Highlander?

If a trailer is going on, yes. Brake and turn signals have to work, and CURT 55245 plugs into the factory connector so the trailer lights follow the Highlander's. Order it with the hitch and it's one install.
