Curt Hitch for 2012 Highlander
342405
Put this up on my 2012 highlander fit nice and snuged did it on my own. It did take me a bit longer to not having proper socket for removing tow hooks. But once I took that off was good to go. I did costum cut the rear under bumper plastics but only the driver side the Pass side was able to fit and put the reg screws back on.

This looks like a good hitch. It just doesn't fit all the Subaru Outbacks equally well. On some Outback models, mine included, there is a bracket that looks like it holds or supports the rear bumper (Mine is a 2008 Subaru Outback 2.5i with manual trans, and winter weather package). Both Amazon and the Curt website say this is the correct hitch for my vehicle.

Curt obviously is aware this bracket is sometimes present, because in the box they provide shims or spacers to level the hitch on models with this bracket installed. However, there is no clearance around the mounting points when this bracket is present. I've been working on installing mine for about 3 hours now, and still can't get it to quite slide in.

Update:
I had to splay the mounting brackets out a degree or two on the work bench before it would up fit in where it needed to. Then I needed to file/grind the bolt slots out about 1/16" to get the bolts to go in.

Once installed, its real nice. But gosh! it was a tight install.

Added a star to my rating, because it is a nice sturdy hitch. But be prepared for a potential fight to install it.

Third hitch from Curt - and good quality as always.  Plus they stand behind their product.  (Another Curt hitch on my 2005 Highlander began to flake paint off after 4 or 5 years.  Contacted them and provided proof of purchase - shipped me a brand new hitch at no cost.)  A bit tricky to install as you have to cut through the plastic bumper cover so the hitch can pass through from the frame on a 2015 Jeep Compass "High Altitude", no just fastening four bolts as normal.  They give you a template, and my brother-in-law used a large rotary tool to make a clean cut.  I use the hitch for my Yakima "Ridgeback" 4 bike rack, not really for towing.

Bushings worked perfectly for Highlander rear knuckle.  This is the only company I've found that makes these bushings.  Even Toyota wants you to buy an entire knuckle.

Great hitch fit the 2015 Honda Fit perfectly.  Went on very quickly, total time less than a half hour.  As others have mentioned use soapy water for removing the rubber muffler holders and use a helper to hold the hitch in place while you ratchet it down.

This is the 2nd Curt trailer hitch we have purchased. Very easy to install on my 2016 Honda Pilot. I did have to have a 2nd person to help, it's very heavy.

I'm very pleased with the hitch receiver so far. It is a heavy, sturdily built unit, and fit perfectly. No surprises during installation, but just make sure you follow the instructions thoroughly and give yourself enough time. I would buy a Curt product again, and like the fact that it is made in the USA.

Since this is a genuine Toyota part designed specifically for my 2013 Toyota Highlander, this hitch fit perfectly and beautifully . The hitch comes with a new bumper fascia that has slots for the 2" x 2" Class III hitch receiver and for a wiring harness (sold separately). It also comes with a Toyota rubber insert cover for the receiver.  Unlike after market hitches (like from Curt Manufacturing), this hitch fits integrated within the bumper (not below), and directly around and behind the spare tire. This arrangement provides for no loss in clearance beneath the vehicle, allows for easy retrieval of the spare tire, and bolsters the bumper's structural integrity.  Note that no instructions came in the box, but are available as a PDF with very detailed step by step instruction at the following site:  https://trdparts4u.toyotaofdallas.com/ProdPDF/PT228-48100.pdf .  The instructions are labeled as 2011, but they apply to 2012 and 2013 also. I installed this hitch in about 2-1/2 hours. For the fit, finish, and quality, I highly recommend spending the few extra bucks this hitch costs.

I installed a Curt receiver hitch on my 2015 Honda and it was a piece of cake. Installing it on the 2018 Subaru Outback is another story. Much of this is due to Subaru's design that makes any receiver difficult to install but much is also due to the hitch being a poor fit for the car. As others have said you need to enlarge six holes in the frame railing.  I needed to use a floor jack to force the hitch around the gas tank. As others have said there is not enough clearance between the hitch and one of the muffler shackles to get the suspender back in place and one of the muffler shackles hits the rack and makes a rattle noise. I have made an appointment with my mechanic for him to finish up the job. He will either need to cut the muffler shackle or reinstall the rack in a position different than described in Curt's instructions.

Unfortunately, I was not able to find any realistic information if this box fits Toyota Highlander 2012 (Limited trim, if that matters) with factory cross bars, so decided to go ahead with an online order. Very easy to install, but interferes with hatch even when I move the cross bars and adjust mounting of the box itself so that it would be in the front most position. It sounds like I just need couple more inches to make it work, but I don't have them. While trying to open/close the hatch couple of times, I have already scratched the paint on the hatch :(. Also, the factory cross bars seem to be a bit low, so I only have very small space between the box and the roof, and the whole system is moving a little bit, so it feels like it could also scratch the roof on a bumpy road.
Returning this box would mean paying for shipping back, which is significant for such a bulky item. Plus I do really need a cargo box. Looking at Yakima cross bars with rail grabs, they seem to be much higher, so I am thinking they maybe would even help not to have the interference with the hatch, so I want to find it somewhere and try before I return the box.

Perfect fit for our 2012 Toyota Highlander.  Removed old one and installed this one in about 30 seconds.  Couldn't be easier.

I bought this to clean up the rear end of my 1996 Suburban.  The rusty old frame mounted hitch and old 7 pin plug looked ugly.  I don't tow much, so I converted to this and a 4 wire plug.  The bumper on the Suburban is pretty stout and rated for 4000 lbs, just as the Curt receiver is.  It looks plenty up to the task of holding my bike rack or towing my 19 foot boat.

My brother has a 1994 Ford Ranger and it would technically fit that too.  It'd be a bit of work, requiring you to drill the two 3/4" holes in addition to the 1/2" hole behind the license plate.  It does not look like a good setup on the Ranger though, as I think it would put extra twisting forces on the bumper than were assumed when Ford rated it.  Give yourself peace of mind and get a sturdy frame mounted hitch for your Ranger.

If you are doing it yourself with a Jeep Grand Cherokee hitch you have to buy this Curt connector.  It was easy to install and the best price.  Enough said.  Make sure you ground your harness behind the driver side rear brake light housing.  Too much wiring, but better than too little wiring.  Just buy it!

Great hitch.  Great price.  Installation was simple on my 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited 4x4.  I did have to trim a very small part of the caulking on just one side at the end where it was heavy in order to get the hitch to fit in.  Others have mentioned this.  Seems to be great quality.  Pull the trigger and do it yourself and save $$$.  It took less than 30 minutes and I did it with no help.

NOTE:  the pic shows the hitch having three holes on each side.  It does not.  It has just two holes per side and that is exactly what it is supposed to have.  There are four bolts.

You'll need a 7 blade to 4 flat adapter for the wiring.  The 2014 jeep GCL comes prewired unlike the 2013 and older models.  But you do have to go to the dealership and have it activated to get lights to work.

The hitch fit as expected and was easy to install.  I would recommend having some help when putting it on but it can be done alone.

This hitch worked perfect for my 2007 Honda Pilot. It took about 30 min to install with 2 people. I saved $$$ by doing it myself.
