Yes, we have the wiring harness and you can order it in addition to the item # C26VV hitch for your 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander. Whether you have the plug and play connectors will depend on if your Highlander has the towing package. If you have the tow package you will need the Curt item # C55245.

If your Grand Highlander does not have the tow package then there is no plug and play option and you'll need to use the Curt Powered Tail Light Converter item # C59236.

The easiest way to determine whether or not you have the tow package is to call a Toyota dealer and give them your VIN. If you don't want to do that then you'll need to climb under the rear of your Highlander and look for a large black box on the driver's side behind the rear wheel. Inside this black box will be a port you can plug item # C55245 into.

I have attached a picture below of what this port will look like and have also linked all of the installation instructions for the parts mentioned above. Feel free to email me directly or comment below if you have any additional questions.

To round out your towing setup, I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534. This towing kit will provide you with a 2" ball and a fixed ball mount with a 3/4" rise and 2" drop. It also includes a hitch pin and clip, hitch receiver lock with keys, hitch cover, and a storage case.
