I know this video has been out for a while. However, I would still like to express my deepest appreciation to you. Your instructions were spot on. I just finished a hitch installation in my driveway saved 1900.00, thanks!.
Glad it was helpful!
What a super job explaining this install.........I wish everybody on you tube could be as clear in explaining the procedures...........kudos to you !!!
Thank you for the feedback.
I 100% agree. This was excellent. Thank you so much!
Yes! Double dumbs up
Toyota did a nice job of engineering that hitch kit and trim panel.
Yes, it fits well, and they made it easy to install. Plug and play
Excellent video! I just purchased a Grand Highlander and the dealer wanted close to $1,200 (just for labor) to install the hitch. Watched your video, took my time and had it installed by myself in appx 3 hours in my garage. No lift needed. Still need to install the hitch converter, though. Tips if installing yourself: use a floor jack to assist in raising the hitch in place to get bolts started, and put a moving blanket or similar down to set the bumper on to mitigate scratches.
Glad it helped!
Hi where did to buy hitch with all stuff?
@mirianmikadze1579 hey, it's better to go to a Toyota dealer to order parts to ensure you get the correct items necessary. They will match what you need based on your vin
I've installed tow hitches on a couple of Highlanders I've owned. This is the clearest, most concise installation video I've ever seen. A link to your video should be included with the hitch. Great job!
Thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate it.
Great video! Thank you for taking the time to do this so expertly! Now if only there was a way to set up the 7 pin!
I believe you can buy adapters for it to convert it.
@@TheYotaChannel you are correct - I dont think it is a simple job though.
So impressed with the clarity and step by step instructions. Fantastic job!
Thanks for a real thorough how to presentation. You did a great job!
Glad it was helpful!
Great instructions. Thank you so much for your time and including the part list. Just ordered all the parts to install on my car.
You are welcome!
thank you very much.... you just save all of us $775 toyota charge for installing this.
Excellent video. I'm on the wait list for a GH, and will absolutely need to DIY a tow hitch instal for a bike rack. Thanks so much for being so thorough. Looks very straight forward.
Thanks for the video. Installed tow hitch under 1.5 hours.
Nice man. It's faster than most tech in the shop.
Great video, good verbal direction. “Safety First” thank you.
You are a hero. Thank you!
Great video thank you!!!!🎉
Thanks so much for this informative post! I’ve been hoping to get a tow hitch installed and it seemed like mission impossible..thanks for the part number in your other reply. All the best in securing one for yourself.
Glad I could help!
Great video. Excellent step by step explanation. Could you do a video installing factory running boards for the Grand Highlander next.
Thank you. Excellent idea. If the opportunity presents itself, i will.
Thank you for your video ❤I just bought Grand highlighter and I want to upgrade my tailgate.
Great video, Would be nice to include the torque specs and socket sizes.
Most of the hitch bolts used are 19mm or 3/4. These bolts are supposed to be torqued to 86ft-lbs.
Very, very helpful just completed installing the hitch in my wife's XLE. Thank you. Ready for the fog lights when you make it a video for them.
Which no-kick sensor bumper cover did you get? PT938-48241 or PT938-48241-02? and do you know the color difference? thank you!
Interested on adding fog lights to my wife's XLE Grand Highlander, do you plan to do one video on that subject? Also wondering about retrofitting parking sensors, if that is doable and doable in cost effective way. Thank you.
If i get one in the shop, i will make a video. A few people have been asking me as well. As far as the parking sensors, it will not be possible to add that feature if the vehicle didn't come equipped with it already.
@@TheYotaChannel Thank you.
Nice video, I'm having my Toyota dealership do this exact install on my GH limited tomorrow. Hopefully it goes as well as you did this one.
Great video! @jrdagreat!! I'm curious - Has anyone tried to put on a 7 pin connector? Also would love to hear anyones towing experience!
Found your channel and like it. Nice job!
Thank you!
Thank you very much for the video. Can you share the part # for this tow hitch kit
Hitch part #PT974-48240
Check with your local Toyota parts department to see if your VIN requires a new kick sensor and bracket. And to assure you get the correct color for the pre cut bumper.
I believe the pre cut bumper is all silver no matter which body colour, but will double check with parts department.@@TheYotaChannel
Any chance you can list all the parts (fascia, harness, sensor), and that looks like a 2”…is that right?
@@IanFlett the complete list of part numbers are in the description, just added 👍🏾
@@felixtcwonghello, did you happen to find the answer about color difference? There’s a big price difference between the two non-kick sensor panels. $100 vs $250
Any recommendations on adding a 5 pin connector without having to tap the reverse lights cable?
Hey, check with your local U-Haul hitch store. They should have plug-in adapters for what you are requesting. Or look online they should have more varieties. Unfortunately, Toyota doesn't make one.
Man you did a great job showing how to install that. Thank you 🙏
Thank you, i really appreciate it.
Well done. Thank you!
Excellent how-to video! I've shared in the Grand Highlander Facebook group. Subscribed to your channel. Thanks!!!
Thank you, I really appreciate it.
Great video! Is there a way to install fog lights on an XLE?
Hello, thank you for the great install video! Very helpful and well done! I have a question about the parts list. I know the hitch "kit" is needed, PT974-48240, which includes the hitch and harness, but also a "Unique Rear Bumper Cover". The parts list says that we also need a Bumper Cover Facia w/ or w/o kick sensor, PT938-48241-11. Is the "Unique Rear Bumper Cover" in the hitch kit the same thing as the Bumper Cover Facia (w/ kick sensor)? I have a Limited so, I'd like to keep the kick sensor, but will I have to buy both the kit and the facia with kick sensor? If so, it seems like I'd end up with an extra facia from the kit. Is this right? I kinda hope not because PT938-48241-11 is another ~$245. Thanks for your help and, again, the great helpful video!
Hello, and yes, you will end up with an extra bumper fascia, your old one. The new one is needed because it has the cut-out for the hitch, and the new kick sensor and bracket are needed because of the new mounting location.
Excellent Video! Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
There's a fuse that came with the converter, where does that go? And if you wanted to convert to 7pin which line of wires should you tap into for reverse and brake?
The fuse goes in the fuse block under the hood. The kit comes with one, but all the ones I've done already have the fuse installed. You can keep it as a spare. You can get an adapter to convert it from a 4 to 7 pin
This is an amazing video! What is the best way to get electricity to the cable?According to the person that sold me the parts, as soon as you plug-in the connector, you should get electricity with no problem. The video mentions a module, but is there any simpler way?
Hey, at 10:16 mark in the video , I showed where the tow converter will be plugged in.
Super great explanation and very knowledgeable! keep up the the great videos!
THAT IS SO COOL TO SHOW THIS VIDEO
THANKS 🙏🏻
Possible to show how the wiring works? Is it just plug and play or is there something else?
Very informative video and description, well done. Helpful when explaining to the dealer!
Glad it was helpful!
"OUTSTANDING VIDEO " By far the best video i ever saw on youtube very stright forward and concise. Great job Keep up the great work you do on presenting your viedo's well appreicated. THANKS AGAIN
Thank you.
Great video!! Going to try installing myself. In your opinion- do you need to take the bumper completely off- or could you accomplish it all (might take longer) without removing? I've watched a couple times and it looks like you can get to everything without the added potential trouble of taking the bumper all the way off? Am I missing something?
Hey, yes, i would recommend taking the bumper completely off. Remember, you still need to replace the lower bumber fascia because it has the cut-out to fit the hitch.
@@TheYotaChannel Thought you might be able to slide up and into position once you replaced the fascia. One other question- What is the harness you mention at 8:55 for? Does it just hang out inside there unless you have something to plug into it while you tow?
@LittleOwlLetterpress that harness you saw comes with the hitch assembly. It plugs into the vehicle's harness, which is located in the left rear corner area behind the bumper
@@TheYotaChannel duh!! Got it- appreciate the feedback. Thanks for posting this and again- solid video!!
If you don’t have sensors (XLE models) then you can replace the bumper cover without taking the entire bumper off. You can pop it out while laying underneath the bumper
Great video!
Question; the part with hitch and wire harness, where did you connect the wire harness on the hitch to the car? Do you have additional instruction of how that gets connected to the car?
Hey, after you remove the rear bumper, there is a wire connector with a cap on it towards the left rear corner area. That's where you plug the wiring on the hitch to.
Super well done. Thanks so much.
Thank you.
Wonder how possible it is to get a hitch receiver with 1 of the 4 mount holes to be off. My 2 on the right side would not line up for anything. Taking it back to Parts tomorrow to compare with another hitch. Hopefully it’s just a messed up hole on the hitch.
Did you keep everything loose? The two brackets, etc.. It helps to make sure all the bolts and nuts are threaded by hand and kept loose until all the bolts and nuts are lined up.
I swapped it with another one from the dealer and it fit perfectly. Other one was 1/16” off from one they gave me.
I have the Lexus TX 500h does it require the converter? Thanks you for your help.
Yes, if it didn't come with a hitch installed from the factory, then you will most likely need it if you plan on adding a hitch.
Awesome video. Super helpful.
Thanks for this overview; I will probably get the GH next year and will do the hitch install with my mechanic friend. This is most helpful! 👍
Question: I assume this will be the same for all GH trims?
Yes. Just be mindful if the models you buy come with the kick sensor option
@@TheYotaChannel
Would the ACTIVITY MOUNT install procedure be similar?
The kick sensor itself is on backorder. It will not arrive in time for me to install before we need the hitch. Can I install the bracket and bumper cover and the kick sensor at a later date when it arrives? Just leaving it unplugged for now? Or will that create any electrical issue or sensor issue? Great video!
This is an excellent example of teaching how something is done. I will be installing a hitch on my new Grand Highlander soon. Only one question, how do you install the relay assembly lamp control which connects the hitch to the vehicle electrical system? I would love to see you explain how that feature is installed. You have a gift for teaching. Thanks for the video.
Glad it was helpful!
At 10:16 mark in the video, I briefly talked about where the tow converter will be installed. As far as the hitch wire that's on the hitch itself, there is a connector coming from the factory harness located in the left rear corner. Plug and play
@@TheYotaChannel So there is a factory harness that attaches directly to the hitch wire. Then what is the white connector in the rear driver side cubby attach to?
@user-by9sx9wf2y that is for the tow converter box/relay box. That is where you will plug it in to power up that hitch harness.
@@TheYotaChannel Does the converter box/relay box connect to the trailer hitch?
Thank you for this video, it helped me and my son get our hitch installed. Any chance you can add a photo or video of where the converter mounts? I know it plugs into the 10 pin connector under the cup holder but I couldn't see where it would actually mount. The box has a bracket with two tabs. Thanks again!
Thank you. The mounting location for the converter box is located in the area where you saw the connector, just a little further down. To get access to it, open the DRIVER REAR door and remove the body weatherstrip by the rear quarter panel, and you should be able to pop that rear quarter panel out far enough to get access to mounting tabs. I do believe the quarter panel has a 10mm bolt holding it to the body. You dont need to remove the cover completely. You just need enough room to get your hands in there.
Awesome, thank you!
Can you help me understand whether we should also purchase the ball mount (PT974-48242) and hitch and cotter pin (PT974-48242-AA)?
Hi, yes, you should. The kit does not come with the ball mount and cotter pin.
@@TheYotaChannelthank you for the quick reply!
Very informative video, thank you.
Question, what mic set up did you use with this video? It was very clear and loud without distortion.
Thank you. I used a yeti mic to do the voice-over. Funny you say that, but the audio could've been a lot better if i had the mic set at the right setting. Im new to UA-cam, so there's a lot im still figuring out.
I have the kick sensor system. You list the kick sensor ECU part. You didn't mention it in the video. Do I need it or can I just use the original?
Yes, you need the new kick sensor and bracket. At the 5:00 minutes mark in the video, i mentioned it.
Oh, the ECU IS the sensor. Thank you.
This was a great, detailed video. Thank you. One question though, how do I install the converter on my limited hybrid, so I can tow small trailers?
@Jrdagreat thanks for such a clear explanation! That's a benchmark indeed. Can you please guide me for exactly the same process for 2024 Lexus TX350 Executive (Canadian specs) ? Do I need a kick sensor box and bumper cover? Can you please tell me which part numbers are these ? thank a ton!
Hey, for the TX350, im not sure of the part numbers. I have the part numbers for the Grand Highlander in the description. As far as ordering parts, i recommend you go to your local Toyota parts department, and they can assist with the correct parts needes to complete the job for your vehicle.
Thanks for the great video. Will TX parts fit the Grand Highlander especially the kick sensor and sensor holder piece except for the bumper piece?
Excellent and thoughtful job! Now I have to debate on whether the hybrid or hybird max is my new family ride.
Definitely the hybrid max if it's within your budget. Go for it!
And thank you!
Hybrid max can tow 5000 pounds whereas the base hybrid is only 3500 lbs
We got the hybrid max and love it. Definitely recommend
would love an update showing exactly how to install the converter box
Hi. Great video and I would like to install a tow hitch receiver on my grand highlander hybrid limited. Can you please give Me the details sku etc of all the parts I need to order?
Hey, thanks. All the part numbers are listed in the description. Double check with your local Toyota parts department to ensure you get all the correct parts needed for your model.
Did you buy the parts from Toyota directly?? If not where? How much were they? I assume the fascia has to be OEM
Awesome job dude! 👍
Maximum towing capacity? Also, maximum weight it can support for heavy e-bikes?
I believe the max towing capacity for the Grand Highlander Hybrid MAX is 5000lbs and for the Hybrid models 3500lbs
Tongue weight limit is what you want to know for a bike rack. For this hitch, it is rated for 500lbs. Hitch mounted bike rack manufacturer will have a weight limit for the rack itself as well that you’ll want to confirm.
Hello, great video! I’ll be using to install the same tow hitch on my 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander Hybrid Limited with the kick feature, however, do I really need to purchase a new kick sensor ecu and bracket or can I re-use the one already on the vehicle? Thank you!
Hello, you will need a new kick sensor and bracket. The design of the new lower bumper fascia is different because of the cut out.
Great detailed video! Quick question, in your opinion do you think a vehicle lift is required to get the tow hitch installed? Could a couple people get this done at ground level without too much difficulty or is it too much of a squeeze?
Yes, i think it's possible to get it done on the ground without a shop lift. You just need to be really careful lifting and positioning the hitch.
Does that cover pop off easily for the connector you show?
Yes 👍🏾
You mention a converter. What does it do? Is it required to tow? Please advise.
The tow converter allows the hitch connector in the back to be functional. If you are towing a bike rack, for example, then you wouldn't need it. But if you are towing a jetski or boat, you will need to have the turn signals, brake, and reverse lights working
Fucking amazing video, congratulations man!
Thanks for the video! Do you think the Hybrid Max version will need precautions or modifications to the coolers for extended towing?
Hey. As long as you stay within the max towing limits, you should be okay. I hope that answers your question.
hi where is your workshop? i want you to do the same to my TGH...Thanks
Thank you for this video. I live in central Texas and even the dealership that I bought my 2024 Grand Highlander told me they could put a tow hitch on but that I would lose my kick sensor and it was going to cost me not only the parts but a 6 hour installation service. Does it really take that long to do the wiring?
Hey, yes, you can absolutely get it installed and keep your kick sensor feature. As far as how kong it will take, that varies on the technician and if they've installed one before. The wiring is not difficult at all. It's plug and play.
@@TheYotaChannelGosh, I wish you were in central Texas because $3,200 to put on a tow hitch with wiring seems exhorborant.
Hello...is there any additional part available to cover/hide the tow hitch from view? ....have a vehicle coming in a few months, and it's equipped with a tow hitch that I don't really care for, and unfortunately, the dealer said it was too late cannot remove it from the build.
Hello, unfortunately, there are no parts available to cover that tow hitch and cut-out. Not by Toyota, maybe an aftermarket part. I think it looks great, and the hitch doesn't stick out obnoxiously, and it adds value.
It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it. 🤓
@@TheYotaChannel guess I'll just have to live with it especially since those Hybrid Max Platinum's are really difficult to get ...thank you.
Did you get your GH? Where are you located? I'm in Virginia Beach. I want to add a hitch. Maybe we can work something out.
Does the wiring on the 2024 Grand Highlander have the 7 pin wiring plug connector?
Hey, no. But i do believe they sell adapters for the 4 pins
where you bought this hitch, is it fit hybrid 2024 grand high lander AWD?
Your video helped a lot! Just a question about connecting wiring harness on the hitch receiver. Does the car have a pre-wired plug off the rear bumper to plug and play? I have the convertor installed inside the cup holder already.
Yes, towards the left rear bumper area. It might have a plastic cap or cover connected to it to protect the terminal pins.
@@TheYotaChannel Got it. Thank you!
Dear Sir. I have a question. I am waiting for a TGH to be transferred from Houston to Dallas. It is a 2.5 litre 4cyl hybrid limited. It dies not have a integrated hitch. I was told by the Plano, TX dealer that the hitch kit is back ordered and hard to get with no time frame. (500 of them on back order) Is it possible to find this kit from another dealership and order it?
5:16pm Houston. If I ordered the entire kit from the dealer before picking up my new GH MAX what would the cost be? Including labor? I would like to tackle the job myself but use all Toyota OEM parts like you did. Cost of parts alone? I’ll need that power adapter for my trailer. Also my 2011 Prius TPMS LIGHT stays on and new tire pressure sensors put in 3 years ago. I’ve tried all the easy hacks. Are new sensors my only choice? Is there a way to activate the sensors with a hand held programmer like GM has? Love your new channel!!!!
Hey, im not sure about the price of the parts. Labor costs can vary from dealer to dealer. As you can see, it's not the most difficult job or time consuming. If you buy the parts yourself from the parts counter and install them yourself, you will definitely save some money. Play it safe and order parts at a Toyota dealer so you can ensure you get the correct parts and decide if you have the time to tackle it on.
As far as your 2011 Prius, when you first READY ON the car, does the TPMS light flash several times? Or does it stay on steady. If it's on steady, you have low tire pressure in one or more of your tire. If it flashes, it means a sensor or two may be bad. If you bought new sensors, then YES, you need a Toyota scanner to calibrate the sensors. GM does make it a little easier by just putting it in learn mode and going the tires with a tool
What is the torque for the 4 bolts, you showed 103NM on your tool, is that the correct torque,
Nice work bro :) I hope to get one of those too hopefully.
Thank you bro! 🤝🏾
Question, is any recalibration of sensors required?
No recalibration is required.
@@TheYotaChannel Thanks!! Nice vid BTW. Will come in handy IF I can can find the needed parts. The hitch and sensor bracket seem to be on national backorder!!
Thanks, is there a similar plastic trim with an opening in the middle for the rear bumper of the regular 2022 Highlander XLE in order to pass the hitch receiver through it?
Yes, that model year also has a cut-out that fits perfectly with the Toyota hitch. but if you get an aftermarket hitch with the Toyota trim, it will not line up properly.
Hi brother thank you for yhe perfect video where i can get all the parts you ordered please if there is a link would be perfect
Thank you
Hey, i recommend you get the parts from a Toyota dealer/parts department. They ask for your VIN and ensure you get the correct parts. I have the part numbers i used in the video in the description.
How much it did cost?
Great video! Do you happen to know the part number for the Grand Highlander Roof Rack Cross Bars? And the Grand Highlander Door Edge Guards in Coastal Cream?
Nice informative video! Is this compatible with weight distribution hitches? Also if this is a class 3 hitch then it is rated to 8000 pounds towing weight and 800 pounds max tongue weight
That's alot of works for tailgate install
What a great job u did u utmost precise precision
It was remarkable job man
I hv a question i bought 2023 highlander hybrid month ago i want to install front tow hook bcz i want to tow my highlander with ford f150 for 300miles away to my in laws
I dont want to put tgat many miles on highlander
Please reply me if its possible if not guve me other option i dont want to drive 300miles but want to drive my highlander once i reach their
Hey, thanks for the comment. In front of your bumper, there should be 2 covers hiding the front tow hooks. But MAKE SURE your Highlander Hybrid is not an all wheel drive hybrid highlander, because that one will have a separate motor in the rear, and you dont want to tow that model with the rear wheels still rotating
@@TheYotaChannel it is all wheel drive
Now what's my option
Can u please reply
@@rajendramodusu5980 drive it the 300 miles, or have it on a flatbed.
@@TheYotaChannel thanks for the reply
I got hybrid highlander in June 1week and just 7 days later G highlander came in same price only 500$ more
Bastards toyota dealer didn't told me about GH
I m just confused was GH a better choice
U raved lot about GH I saw
Can u tell me what would u choose between highlander hybrid vs grand highlander ( keep hybrid max out of this comparison)
You are very experienced intellect person please reply with your logical reason
One more thing I hv not seen that many grand highlander on road or in town I live in Lafayette Indiana and travel lot to Illinois wis Indiana and Michigan
In 3 months I hvseen hardly 6 or 7 ghighlander
For the TOW CONVERTER BOX PT725-48241, I seen where it connects, I do not see why a green 30amp fuse (that comes with it) goes? Can you post a link to the install instructions? or where in which fuse box it goes?
Hi, there's already a 30amp fuse installed in the car underneath the hood. The kit comes with an extra one. The fuse block is located in the engine bay.
The mounting location for the converter box is located in the area where you saw the connector, just a little further down. To get access to it, open the DRIVER REAR door and remove the body weatherstrip by the rear quarter panel, and you should be able to pop that rear quarter panel out far enough to get access to mounting tabs. I do believe the quarter panel has a 10mm bolt holding it to the body. You dont need to remove the cover completely. You just need enough room to get your hands in there.
@@TheYotaChannel this doesn’t make much sense. How does the converter box that has to get connected inside/underneath the cup holder of the third row driver side get mounted to the body? They give you a bolt but I see no way to mount it. Do you just throw it in there and hope it doesn’t rattle around? :\
Great video! Will these Grand Highlander parts fit the 2024 Lexus TX 350?
Hey, i dont think it will fit. Im sure the rear-end design is similar in a few ways. It will require different part numbers.
Thanks for your prompt reply. If I found out something with what the Lexus service tells me, l’ll let you know.
Well done dude, how much the all kit cost and which website sells it?
Will the converter box be hard to install?
Where are you sir?
Need your help on my Highlander 2022 XLE…
Hey, what's going on with your 22 Higlander? Let me see if i can help
What tool did you use to remove the cupholder to install the coverter box? Thank you.
It pops off pretty easy. If you get a good grip or hold on it and pull up, it should come out
I was afraid of pulling, but thank you, you gave me the courage... job completed. Keep those videos coming. Thank you.
Hello, how long does it take to complete this job? I'm looking at buy a grand highlander and having the dealership install one if the SUV does not come with it?
The estimated time is a good 3-4 hours. Only because it's a brand new vehicle and you should be extra careful not to damage or scartch the paint etc...
Thank you for your fast response.@@TheYotaChannel
Nice video can you share the parts number please. Thanks
Hey, thank you. Part numbers are in the description.
Can you install a hydraulic hood struts on Grand Highlander?
Can the XLE get a kick sensor
Do you know the part number for a black lower bumper cover? The PT938-48241 is silver I believe but is PT938-48241-02 black?
Hey, im not sure. I only had the part numbers for the parts you see in the video. Check with the parts department to be sure.
Any information on this? I’ve been looking everywhere and can’t find what the right part is. PT938-48241 is like $80 but there is a PT938-48241-11 I’m seeing that is like $240. The -02 is also $240 so I’m really confused on what to buy…
@blakescampbell you can always play it safe by ordering the parts at your local Toyota dealer. If you give them your VIN number, they should be able to tell you all the correct parts you will need for the job.
How many hours do you think it would take the service department to perform the installation?
Hey, great question. I'll say 3-4hr labor time. It also depends on if they have someone who's done it before and don't have to read the instructions page by page. It's not the most difficult job in the world, but you do need to do it with a level of care because, most likely, it will be a brand new vehicle, and you dont want to scratch anything.
Thanks for the quick reply!
It’s odd that they didn’t have the converter included in the package. Will you be doing a video on the converter too?
At 10:16 mark in the video, i talked a little bit about where the connector is located for the converter. Once you remove the cup holder on the rear driver side, the connector will be there. All you have to do is plug the converter, and the trailer lights will work.
@@TheYotaChannel thank you for the great video with advice.. cheers.
@@TheYotaChannel quick question is the converter a plug and play device or do you have to route additional power wires to the main battery too.. I saw only one white connection there so am wondering it both input and output are in the same connection.
@@CanadaSocial yes its plug and play.
And what is this converter box called? Is there a link to it? Is it a generic part? I want to use my Grand Highlander trailer hitch today and none of the lights worked for my trailer dealer installed option.
Hello can we get a part number for the tow converter box. Thanks!
Hello, yes, converter part #PT725-48241
@Jrdagreat hello. Do you have an idea how to order it?
@@irondragon4636 check with your local Toyota parts department.
Would you know the price for hitch and amount of labor hours dealers quote.
Im not sure on the prices for the parts. The labor shouldn't be ridiculously high as you can see in the video. But you know how some dealerships can be. Find one you can trust with no mark ups
@@TheYotaChannel thank you, I appreciate your video and knowledge sharing 🙂
We are looking at a Grand Highlander (Houston, TX), and the dealership told us parts alone would be $3000 plus installation cost.
@@PM-oe6fx The option if Toyota includes it from the factory is only around $900 😳 I'd find a different dealer. You could buy the parts from any dealer and and auto repair shop can install this or it's even a DIY job for some people.
Its 800 plus 800 labor. RUN away from that dealer!
Do you think we can install toyota digital rear view mirror from platinum to the grand highlander limited. If so do you know what part no is that
Hey, unfortunately, it won't be compatible. Models with the digital rear view mirrors have a separate camera mounted on the top rear back door.
@@TheYotaChannelhey what if the car is equipped with panoramic view monitor/ surround view camera system. Can then the rearview digital camera be installed
Is there the round 7 pin available? Thank you
Hi, no, not from Toyota. But there are flat pin to round pin adapters available online.
@@TheYotaChannel thank you
