2010 Toyota Sienna
Read all the reviews and decided on the 12065 for my 2006 Toyota Sienna. Arrived in just a couple of days and install took about 40 minutes. I took my cleaning brush from my .357 magnum gun cleaning kit and sprayed the bolt holes on my chassis with WD 40 and used the brush screwing it in and out of each hole then tried the supplied bolts, each one could be threaded in by hand "Great!". I backed my vehicle's back tires onto 2 pieces of 2 x 10 board just to give me a little more room, took 2 bottle jacks, lifted and slipped the hitch over the exhaust pipe and rested the hitch on the bottle jacks, raised each side, taking turns to keep it level raising it up into position, screwed in the bolts. I did not have to lower the exhaust pipe, just took a piece of board and jammed it between the pipe and hitch giving me enough room to get my socket wrench on. My van did not have the underbody trim and the bottom black lip molding did not need to be cut out as per instructions. I really like this hitch because it almost invisible other than the 1"1/4 in receiver showing. This product not only met my expectations but exceeded them!

I recently installed a curt trasiler hitch on my toyota sienna . I've installed a number of these before but this one took 3 hrs instead of 1 . I had to pry and widen the hitch to line up with the factory holes . This was very hard to do being an all welded assembly . The shipping box was undamaged so I'll have to give this product a poor rating .

The hitch bolted on easily and the etrailer's video made the installation very simple. I plan to use this for carrying bikes with a Yakima Hold up. The only negative for me is that the hitch is not flush with the rear bumper, so my bike rack is close to rear hatch (less than one foot when folded up and not carrying bikes). Consequently, when bikes are loaded, I cannot use the bike racks's ability to tilt down and away from the vehicle which would normally allow you to open the hatch. The bikes still block the hatch from being opened. The flip side is that, when not in use, the hitch blends in and does not detract from the van's appearance.

I need a hitch to hold a bike rack for my minivan. I ordered this hitch because it's almost invisible, my previous hitch stuck out and frequently bottomed out when backing out of my driveway. One year later, it's been great. It's easy to reach to put on/off my bike rack, but is recessed enough to not stick out. Also, it hasn't rusted like previous hitches I had purchased.
Installation was easy, it took me about 2 1/2 hours from start to finish.

Installation wasn't too bad; it took me about two hours, but I was doing it almost entirely by myself and didn't have a good way to hold up one end of the hitch while I was working on the other. I mounted my bike rack (primary purpose in this case) briefly and it seems fine. Haven't had opportunity to load it up and travel, yet.
I did have to trim the under-body panel. A tip for other DIYers: the image of the panel on the instructions is a top-down view, a perspective you probably won't have because taking the panel off without ruining any of the multitude of connectors is unlikely. Some mental gymnastics and you can probably translate to a bottom-up view in your head. The panel cut easily with a sharp utility knife.

Service from etrailer.com was top notch. I am a happy return customer.
In my opinion this hitch (C12065) is the best for a Toyota Sienna as ground clearance is an issue. Just installed one on my new '15. On my previous '09 Sienna I had the 2" Curt hitch C13105 which tended to scrap when going up steep driveways. This one sits significantly higher which is great and it also looks much better too.
For a Toyota Sienna this is the one to get.

Hitch installed easily and with no problems. Took two of us. Didn't need to remove exhaust pipe. Cut lower panel with hack saw without removing from car. Hitch was the lowest profile of any I researched. Good solution for low ground clearance Sienna.
Wiring kit also installed as expected. Routed power wire through electrical wiring bushing in firewall. Ran wire under door thresholds with other vehicle wires.
by: Troy10/17/2022
Fit and works as expected. The first hitch they delivered was bent. How I have no idea; but when I contacted etrailer they rectified things quickly and sent a knew one without any hassle. Highly recommend doing business with them!
by: Delski07/27/2020
I am very satisfied with my hitch and lighting harness, and the mounting procedure was very workable as described.
It is preforming daily and provides increased utility of my 2004 Sienna.

See what our Experts say about this CURT Trailer Hitch
- What Size Tap Can Be Used to Clean Weld Nuts to Install Hitch on 2004 Toyota SiennaI checked with one of my tech contacts over at Curt and he says you're going to need an M12 x 1.25 tap in order to clean out the bolt holes on your 2004 Toyota Sienna; you can also use some PB Blaster and a wire brush to clean out the weld nuts. You will want to be careful when starting the process so as not to strip out the weld nuts when getting them started. For reference, the bolts used to install the Curt # C12065 are M12 x 1.25 Grade 8 bolts that are 40 cm long.
view full answer... - Does Curt Hitch part # C12065 Fit 2015 Toyota Sienna SEYes ,the Curt hitch part # C12065 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2015 Toyota Sienna SE. Underbody panels need to be trimmed but the fascia does not on your vehicle. I attached an install video for more info on this for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Installation Instructions for the Curt Hitch C12065 on a 2008 Toyota SiennaI attached a link to the installation instructions for the Curt Hitch part # C12065 that you have installed on your 2008 Toyota Sienna that includes all of the torque figures for the installation hardware. I also attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out.
view full answer... - Which Trailer Hitch Has Better Ground Clearance for a 2011 Toyota Sienna Curt or Draw TiteIt's not by much but it looks like the Draw Tite Hitch part # 36513 tucks a little bit closer to the rear bumper than the Curt part # C12065. The difference is right around an inch. Another advantage the Draw Tite has is that it doesn't require the use of a stabilizer strap like the Curt does when carrying a non-supported load like a bike rack. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch with the Highest Clearance for a 2013 Toyota SiennaThe smaller Class II hitches like # 36513 will give you a little more clearance vs. Class III hitches. The Class II will have lower tongue weight and gross trailer weight capacities. A bike rack with a rise in the shank will provide more ground clearance. When we have installed trailer hitch # 36513 on Toyota Sienna vans the same generation as yours we measured approximately 11 inches from level ground to the top of the receiver opening. To the bottom of the receiver that would be approximately...
view full answer... - Troubleshooting 2004 Toyota Sienna With Weld Nuts For Hitch Install Not Holding TorqueFor your Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver- Class II - 1-1/4" # C12065 on the 2004 Toyota Sienna, the weld nuts being stripped out will require tapping the weld nuts and using larger bolts. The # RHK kit will give you the hardware that came with the hitch to fit the current weld nuts. You will need to get a tap locally and get Grade 8 bolts to fit that new thread size.
view full answer... - Recommended Ball Mount for a 2006 Toyota Sienna Ball With a Class II Trailer HitchThe recommended ball mount for your 2006 Toyota Sienna would have a 2-5/8 inch rise, like Curt ball mount # C45016. This would put the hitch ball at the most common trailer height, but to ensure it will work with your particular setup, I would recommend taking a couple simple measurements. First, measure from the ground to the top of your class II hitch opening. Then, with your trailer level, measure from the ground to the flat bottom of the trailer coupler. The difference between these...
view full answer... - Mostly Hidden Hitch Option for 2012 Toyota SiennaFor Class II hitches for your 2012 Toyota Seinna we only have options that have the cross tube visible like the Curt # C12065. For a more hidden option you'd want the etrailer part # e98853 which is a Class III hitch that instead has a 2 inch hitch opening size. This does not require the bumper to come off for install either. It does require lower panel (not fascia) trimming and that the underbody panels to be temporarily removed.
view full answer... - Using Class II Receiver Hitch Instead of Class III on 2011 Toyota Sienna to Gain Ground ClearanceAlthough different hitches for a given model year of vehicle can vary a bit, the orientation of the receiver will usually be the same. When installed, the Curt Class II hitch part # 12212 will measure approximately 11 inches from the top of the receiver tube to the ground. Due to the smaller receiver, you will gain around 1/2 an inch more clearance versus the Class III. I attached installation instructions for you to check out also. You might also consider the Roadmaster Roll Away Trailer...
view full answer... - What Size are the Weldnuts on a 2004 to 2012 Toyota Sienna for Trailer Hitch InstallationIf you look at the instructions for the Curt trailer hitch, # 12065, that I have linked, you will see that it uses M12 - 1.25 x 40 sized bolts. This means that the weldnuts in a 2004 to 2012 Toyota Sienna are the same size. On a vehicle that has seen at least one winter, the weldnuts can get corroded and impacted with grime, making them seem too small for the hitch hardware. If this happens to you, you will need to clean out the weldnuts using a spray lubricant and a wire brush, # DW00254....
view full answer... - Hitch Recommendation for a 2011 Toyota SiennaYes, the Curt Hitch part # C12065 has been confirmed to fit your 2011 Toyota Sienna. I attached an install video for you to check out as well. The most popular bike rack we carry that has been confirmed to fit this vehicle is the Swagman XTC2 Bike Rack part # S64670. This rack has a ton of positive reviews from our customers who have tried it. Check out the review video I attached for more info.

Among them the one I suggest for its higher 350-lb tongue weight (TW) rating is the Curt # C12065. The actual weights of these various hitches do vary slightly but their resulting appearance after installation will be very much the same. Please refer to the linked video showing installation in a 2014 Sienna. All of the required hitch installation hardware...
view full answer... - What is the Recommended Ball Mount for a 2005 Toyota Sienna with a 1-1/4 Inch Trailer HitchFor a Class I or II trailer hitch with a 1-1/4 inch trailer hitch, you must use the ball mount that is recommended by the trailer hitch manufacturer. The reason is that the hitch has been tested with a specific ball mount and it is deemed to be the safest and best option for that vehicle and hitch combination. The only 1-1/4 inch hitch we carry for your 2005 Toyota Sienna is # C12065. The correct ball mount for this hitch is # C45016, and it must be used in the rise position only. It has...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Fits and Resulting Ground Clearance for 2007 Toyota SiennaThe nature of the 2007 Toyota Sienna's design means it will sit lower than many vehicles, and this then means that an installed hitch receiver will do the same. All hitches for your car, shown on the linked page, install at the exact same mounting points and will rest just under the rear bumper cover. Any hitch, whether a 2-inch Class III type like # C13105 or a 1-1/4-inch Class II type like # C12065, will reduce your ground clearance to some degree. I linked a hitch install video for reference. I...
view full answer... - Trailer Hitch Recommended For Carrying Bike Rack on 2015 Toyota Sienna LEWhen the choice is available, I'll typically recommend going with a Class III hitch with the 2 inch receiver opening, as there are many more available choices for hitch mounted accessories. If your bike rack is compatible with a 2 inch receiver, I'd recommend a partially concealed design hitch like the Curt Class III, part # C13343. This hitch would have the crossbar concealed behind the bumper, with only the receiver tube and the safety chain loops being visible. If you'd prefer the...

You'll get slightly better ground clearance from a hitch with an 1-1/4" receiver and when the installed the Curt # C12065 and Draw-Tite # 36513 Class II hitches on the same model year Sienna the difference in height was 1/8" and that small of a difference could honestly be contributed to ground the measurement was taken on or even the amount of pressure in the tires at time. With all of that being...

If you need the smaller 1-1/4 inch hitch receiver, the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class II - 1-1/4" # C12065 is your best clearance. This hitch receiver has a ground clearance of just over 9-1/4 inches to the bottom of the receiver.

You must have a 2-inch Class III hitch in order to use a weight distribution (WD) hitch on your car. The sticker on your hitch will tell you if it is rated for use with WD systems. A WD system must be tuned to the actual loaded trailer tongue weight in order to work properly. You need to measure the fully loaded camper's tongue weight, just as...

Curt Class II hitch # C12065 fits various versions of the 2004 through 2016 Toyota Sienna. However this hitch is not a confirmed fit on the 2017 model year. For the 2017, the 1-1/4-inch Class II hitch that is confirmed to fit is Draw-Tite # 36513. Curt offers only a 2-inch Class III hitch for the 2017 Sienna, part # C13105.

The Curt is 11-3/4" from the top of the receiver to the ground and the Draw-Tite is 11" from the top of the receiver to the ground. Neither one of these hitches do a good job of concealing the crossbar.

For a 2 inch hitch that uses a partially concealed design that places the hitch crossbar behind the bumper so it's not visible, I'd recommend the US made etrailer brand Class III hitch, part # e98853.

It sounds like that the side brackets were knocked out of alignment which is why the bolt holes are not lining up. This can happen while in transit to our facility or to you. We do have a great FAQ that provides ways to move the brackets back into alignment so the hitch can be installed.
