CURT parts for the Toyota Grand Highlander
Wiring, ball mount and the rest
A bike rack needs nothing but the hitch. A trailer needs lights, and CURT 55245 ($50.85 CAD) is the four-flat harness that plugs into the Grand Highlander's factory connector for 2024 through 2026. No cutting, no scotch-locks. Other years have their own harness; the year page shows the right one.
Then a ball mount sized to the receiver: CURT 45836 ($41.70 CAD) drops straight into a 2-inch receiver. Pick the drop or rise that keeps the trailer level, and match the ball to the coupler. The ball mount guide covers both in two minutes.
Canadian winters eat hitch hardware. Salt and brine get into the receiver and the trailer plug, so a smear of grease on the pin, a cap on the receiver and a rinse under the bumper in spring keep a CURT hitch looking new for years. The rust and salt care guide has the full routine.
Toyota Grand Highlander hitch questions
Which CURT hitch fits my Toyota Grand Highlander?
It depends on the year. CURT 13519 covers 2024 through 2026, a Class 3 hitch with a 2-inch receiver rated to 5,000 lb. Open your year page and the exact hitch, price and wiring are on it.
Can I put a bike rack on a Grand Highlander with this hitch?
Yes. The 2-inch receiver takes any 2-inch rack, and a loaded rack counts against the hitch's tongue weight (500 lb on CURT 13519), so a four-bike platform rack with bikes on it is well inside the limit.
Can I install the hitch myself?
Most owners do. CURT rates CURT 13519 a novice install, about 20 minutes with hand tools and a jack. The main body tucks behind the bumper so only the receiver shows. The install video above is the real job, uncut.
How much can a Grand Highlander tow with a CURT hitch?
The hitch is rated to 5,000 lb, but the Grand Highlander's own tow rating in the owner's manual is the ceiling. The lower of the two numbers is your limit, every time.
