We just bought a 2018 Toyota Highlander LE Plus
Gents,
We love our new(to us) Highlander!. Haven't towed anything with it yet.
It came with a U-haul brand Class 3 receiver hitch and 4 pin flat wiring.
I kept the brake controller and WDH from the previous SUV. I had a
'hitch pro' at my local U-haul store reconfigure my WDH to put the top of
the ball at 19.5" inches above ground. As far as wiring for the brake
controller and the 7 pin Bargman connector, I'm having trouble.
Been to two Toyota dealers and neither very helpful. Sent an email to
Tekonsha support for clarification. I'm forced to install a 'pigtail' style cable
harness which will need to be hard wired under the dash for the brake
controller. Supposedly, Toyota Tacoma and Tundra have
a 'plug and play' two connector harness making connecting the brake controller
very easy.
For the 7 pin Bargman connector, etrailer has a 'universal harness' which
includes wires to the SUV battery and brake controller harness.
I think I'll hire the hitch pro at U-haul to install these for me. I'm getting too
old to be crawling under vehicles. They offer a 'service contract' for $10 which
covers any wiring problems.
I'm really looking forward to towing with the Highlander next spring. It's
such a nice vehicle. So many safety features the old Dodge didn't have.
Happy new year. Happy camping.
