2020-2024 Toyota Highlander OEM Hitch Installation with Kick Sensor | No Rear Bumper Removal!

In this video, I walk you through the step-by-step process of installing a hitch on my 2024 Toyota Highlander Platinum Hybrid, all without having to remove the rear bumper! This setup works perfectly for Highlanders equipped with the kick sensor.
A HUGE shout-out to Rick DeBruhl and his useful video ( • 2023 Highlander Traile... ). His video gave me the confidence and guidance to tackle this project myself.

Well done! Highlander looks so clean underneath. It looks like the car is 1 day old!

It's really my fault - we weren't even wearing safety glasses. Prior to this installation, I took the car to an automatic car wash and it did a great job cleaning the underside.

This is an amazing video. I just got a 2024 Platinum Highlander Hybrid and want to install it myself. I’ll definitely be using your video as a guide.❤. Where are you located?

[@volandmag]

Austin,TX area. Let me know if you are in the same area, I might have new OEM parts for limited/platinum. I really wish the hitch option was available on new vehicles straight from the factory, but right now the waitlist for models with hitches is incredibly long.

What a great job...Thank you

I suggest ordering all the parts online and having them delivered to the dealership, rather than purchasing directly from the dealership's parts department. The prices at the dealership tend to be significantly higher than what you’ll find online at the same dealership. You can still consult the dealership to confirm the correct part numbers for your specific model.

Do you still have the instructions available?
