- Toyota Highlander XLE AWD Towing Trailer Hitch Installation 2020 , 2021, 2022, 2023
Note: Apparently, there is an easier way of installing it than this video shows. Please read through the comments to learn more.
Cost: I am in Toronto/Canada and the price was $1,361.25 plus tax installed in July 2020.
Cost of parts only: $945 + tax = $1,067.85
This video shows the steps how to install the towing hitch for a 2020 Toyota Highlander.
You need to have some basic knowledge and skills in order to get this done successfully.

in the RAIN! You are the man,.
You don't have to do all of that. I just did my mine and took off only the mud covers underneath. You can get your hand behind the bumper to get the 6 white clips off without taking the lights and bumper cover off. The tire is not in the way either.
I guess i’ll try to do it your way too, its less risky on break anything but a bit of a challenge to reach those hand to the tabs
If you don't need to remove the whole bumper, how difficult it is? Pictures or a video will be appreciated.
True haha he make it so complicated lol
Good lord. I just finished installing mine with my son in about 2 hours. It would take 30 minutes if I had to do it again and only had to remove the underside baffles. Wow.
So you really only need to remove the underside baffles and that's about it?
wow, thats a lot of work and disassembling. Back in 2015 i put a hitch on my santa fe xl. all i had to do was drop the spare and and that was it.
My towing package just arrived, I planned to install by myself on my 2023 Highlander XSE, the dealer didn’t said nothing about remove the rear bumper.
Hi Juan, Once you install the OEM hitch, you will notice that the one that is on the car, can't be used any longer and you have to use the one that has come within the package.
If yours is not OEM, then that is a different story. You can install it with the existing bumper, however, it would be lower.
If you are a handyman, you don't need to follow all the steps in this video. We did it based on the instructions. After completing the job, we realized there is a quicker way too.
Did you install yet? I just bought the OEM trailer hitch for our 2023 Highlander Platinum, I don't have any instructions but looks to be pretty straight forward. Not planning to remove the upper bumper cover. Curious what the bolt torque spec is though.
@@jimjimtiger Yes, I did it at the time. Please see the descriptions for more details

Muchas gracias por compartir 😇!
Great video. What about the wire harness connection. I got some module but no instructions
It is located close to the hitch. You just need to plug it in.
@@amirpoa thanks, I found that connection. There is also some module that came in a small box. I had to open the drivers side rear seat panel to get access to the connector
Can you install the hitch without bumper cover removal?
The original bumper should be replaced with another one which is provided in the package, so the answer is, yes you can, however, it won't work very well at the end. The old bumper will cover the hitch opening if you don't install the new one. I hope that answers your question.
hi do you have the part numbers of the items installed? i would like to install one. thanks
Yes, it is in the description of the video: Part Numbers:PT228-48200
I don't see the need of removing the whole bumper after seeing hom putting everything back in place. Seems like there is a cover that you have to remove to access where you mount the hitch but I could be wrong.
You are right, there was no need and we learnt that after the fact.
Hello Amir, great videos and very useful. Just want to ask, did you get already your bumper cover ,? Could you share the dealer/ store link? Big thanks !
Yes, I did. "newmarkettoyota.ca/"
Hi Amir jan. Thanks for the video. I am going to have a dealer approved shop install this for me but still not sure what happens to the cover. Does the order come with bumper cover, that you said wasn’t delivered in time, already or you had to buy that separately? The shop told me they will cut mine to fit, is that case ?
Can this be done by trimming the old bumper cover ? That way you don’t have to take off the bumper and you don’t need to buy the extra lower cover ?
Well... yes you can and you may not :) You buy the towing package as a whole and the bumper comes with it. Unless you get it from a scrap yard, then you can save on the bumper.
great vid amir. thanks
Thanks for the feedback. Glad to hear that you liked it.
Great video! Do you have all the required oem parts list numbers?
Please check the link on my comment Or search for "Accessory Installation Instruction Template - Part Numbers:PT228-48200"
That should answer your question or I hope it does.
@@amirpoa my dealership told me along with that you need harness screws and also another number to replace it so overall 4 parts . You think that’s true for 2021 xse?
@@shahirsikder3389 Hi Shahir, I really don't know. What I can tell you is that 2020 and 2021 are the same. So if I didn't do it, most likely you don't need it either. I have the required items listed as well in the video.
@@amirpoa Does the PT228-48200 include all parts we need ?
@@txhousa2780 Yes, it does.
Lots of work
Man, this is what the Toyota dealer charges almost a grand for?!?!? LOL owe ya one bro!
LOL! That is where the money is for Toyota. Selling the car on its own does not have enough profit!!!! I guess!
Have you tried towing with it yet?
I have used it for bicycles rack to take my 4 bikes. I have not towed anything with it yet, however, I hope it works for that too :)
Hi Amir could you please tell me how much did you pay for whole set because dealer in Springfield Massachusetts told me about $1000 😳 great video
Hi Pawel, That is about correct. I am in Toronto/Canada and the price is $1,361.25 plus tax installed. Considering the exchange rate, if $1000 installed, seems to be correct. If you find someone as I did and get it installed for you, it would be cheaper and it takes about 2.5 hours to complete the job.
@@amirpoa thank you for quick response
@@amirpoa hi Amir, how much do you pay for parts alone ?
@@ndanhtuan Hi Tuan, I paid $945 + tax = $1,067.85 for parts only.
@@amirpoa Thank you. Is that included lower bumper and everything?
Sick on your music
I didn’t do anything like this for mine. All Toyota oem 2020 Toyota Highlander LE
Did you know if this part fit on platinum hybrid versión?
I guess not as it requires to support opening the trunk automatically. Best bet is to check with your dealer.
what is the part number of the bumper cover? I think it is not included. sold separately. Does anyone know?
Thanks for this video i really appreciate it.
It is part of the package. You don't have to buy it separately. Maybe this is the part number PT228-48204
I was planning to do this by myself on my wife hylander truck but if she see her truck like this she will kill me , I'll take it to the dealer better ..$500
LOL, Agreed!
Hello- can someone please tell me what you guys did with the bumper cover? Do I have to cut into the bumper cover to fit the hitch??? Or a new had to be order???
Hi Steph, No you don't have to cut into the bumper. The towing/hitch package comes with the bumper and all you need to complete this task.
Great vid, just wish its not the condensed version - do you have the long version? :)
Thanks for liking the video. I do have it, however, I had to cut some portions to look better and be less boring.
Thanks for the info bro will be doing this on my 2021 Highlander now for sure!!
Glad to hear that. Thanks for the feedback.
Maybe good work but bad video dizziness watching and music is suck annoying
