Gates 11-13 Toyota Highlander V-6 3.5L Electric Assist Heater Outlet Molded Heater Hose

In this kit, you get the Gates molded heater hose specifically designed to connect to the electric assist heater outlet on your 2011-2013 Toyota Highlander with the V-6 3.5L engine. This hose is a direct replacement for the original, ensuring a proper seal and efficient coolant flow to your heater core.

Gates uses a well-built EPDM rubber construction for this hose, which is known for its resistance to heat, ozone, and coolant degradation. This means it's built to last and won't easily crack or leak under the hood. The molded shape means it follows the factory routing precisely, making installation straightforward without needing to bend or force a universal hose into place. This is important because a hose that's kinked or stressed can restrict flow or fail prematurely.

Replacing a heater hose is a good idea if you notice any leaks or hardening of the old one. This Gates hose is a solid option to get your Highlander's heating system back to working order.
