That was an outstanding video. Step-by-step explanation while referencing the manufacturers installation instructions was so easy to follow. The video lighting made it very easy to see the actual process. Nice job.

Thank you Doug!

Nice video. Not sure why I watched it or why it was recommended but now i know how to install a hitch on that vehicle in great detail. Again very nice video and instructions.

[@Stargazer_2024.]

Awesome. That's what bikers do. You rock dude.

[@WaleedSarwari]

Thanks!

Great video thanks guys!!!🎉

Hello Waleed from another Waleed. Great job on the install and the video in general. Totally off topic question here. I assume the Continental Cross Contact tires are the OEM that came with the car. Can you comment on your experience with these tires. I have a 2021 Highlander Hybrid and will need new tires fairly soon. Would appreciate your thoughts on how these tires perform and their comfort level regarding ride and noise. Are you getting the expected fuel mileage? Thanks in advance for your thoughts.

Very nice, and very detail video! But Im curious, do you need to recalibrate the parking sensors after reinstall the rear bumper?

[@WaleedSarwari]

No.

[@singuyen2010]

@@WaleedSarwari thank you so much, now I can install it 👍

[@briansalerni9797]

Can I follow these steps to add my own kick sensor to my XLE?

[@WaleedSarwari]

I don't think the wiring is there, you can check haha.

[@wish2fish37]

Is the connector you forgot on the left side and the one you disconnected when pulling bumper cover off?

[@WaleedSarwari]

Yes

[@pincheskankero]

Is there a video for the converter you mentioned?

[@WaleedSarwari]

I haven’t found any. I’ll create one when I get the converter.

[@pincheskankero]

Thank you very much, great video btw 👌🏻

[@wish2fish37]

@@WaleedSarwari there is a video showing the whole hitch replacement and the guy shows where the. Converter goes but didn’t actually show plugging it in.

[@ZachWade-q5z]

Could you provide the website for parts? Thanks!

[@WaleedSarwari]

You'll have to find the nearest Toyota dealer that sells parts. It's not a general website.

[@OrlandoOrtiz-r7f]

What about the converter? Do I needed or not?

[@Asnswag]

Yes, you need to install it. Open the driver side cup holders in the third row and you can see where to plug it in. It allows for turn signals and brake lights
