TOYOTA Genuine 51961-30020 Tow Hook, Front

Perfect fit. In spite of amazon saying it doesn't and the toyota dealership not even showing it as available for my car it fits perfectly in the threads of the frame in the front grille and even has a perfectly designed cut out for in the tire jack cutout in the back of the suv. I dont know why Amazon or the dealership says it won't work for the 17 highlander but im guessing it's for legal reasons. Either way it's rock solid when installed and has a perfect home in the cut out next to the tire jack.

Bought used Toyota that came w/o tie down hook. Haven't tried to install it yet, but I believe it will fit. It seem to be genuine Toyota part. Recently saved me when I got stuck in deep snow with Kia Sedona minivan. A guy with pick up truck who stopped to help, was quite impressed how quickly and simply the tie down was to install, and serve the purpose. Hopefully I am not going to stuck again with AWD Highlander, but you never know. The tie down hook is also good for securing a canoe when transported on the roof racks.

Fits perfectly in my Toyota Highlander 2017 Limited

Appears to be OEM anyway (and is claimed to be such). This is way overpriced by Toyota and should be included with the vehicle. That said, this is a better price than I could find anywhere else. Toyota does not make it clear which year Highlanders this fits. We have a 2018 Highlander XLE, and it fits perfectly. Screws in, no wiggle or slop. The threaded area is not very long and it's standard (not fine) thread. Hard to believe it has enough bite to hold if tugged on to the vehicle's weight. Hopefully I'll never have to test it, but good to have just in case.

The most important thing to me is that this fits my 2017 Toyota Highlander. Now I have something to attach a tow-rope to when I get stuck in a snowdrift!
