  • Which Trailer Hitch Has the Most Ground Clearance for a 2006 Toyota Sienna
  • All of the trailer hitches for your 2006 Toyota Sienna are going to sit in the same area. 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...

  • The SportRack Ridge Swing 4 Bike Rack - 2" Hitches - Swinging # SR2415 and the Yakima FullSwing 4 Bike Rack - 2" Hitches - Swinging # Y02465 are very similar bike racks that will both allow access to the cargo area of your 2022 Toyota Sienna.

  • Comparing Thule Hitching Post And Vertex Bike Carriers For 2016 Toyota Sienna
  • Both of the bike carriers you mentioned are nice and have some great features. The carrier I like is the Apex Swing 4 Bike Rack, part # TH9027XT. I like this rack because it swings entirely out of the way even with the carrier loaded when you need rear cargo access. This carrier has a locking cable in the mast to secure the bikes to the carrier and help deter theft. The Hitching Post, part # TH934XTR is a nice carrier as well. This carrier tilts away from the back of your Sienna for...

  • The Hidden Hitch Class III, part # 87586 and the Draw-Tite # 75696 are both made by the same parent company and are virtually identical, so they will install in the same manner. When installed, either of these hitches will have approximately 10 inches of ground clearance under the bottom of the receiver tube. The Curt Class III, part # C13105 will have about 9 inches of clearance under the receiver tube. I'll link you to the instructions and install videos for each of the hitches. As you...

  • Does 2023 Toyota Sienna etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver Sit Below Bumper
  • The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e56RR will be visible under the bumper of your 2023 Toyota Sienna, so you will have a lower clearance at the back of your van. I definitely see how this would be an issue so you'll need to be careful going over speed bumps and you'll need to take steep turns at more of an angle (like when entering or exiting a driveway). If you don't already have a bike rack then I recommend checking out the Thule Apex Swing XT # TH9027XT because it can carry up to...

  • Recommended Suspension Enhancement for a 2011 Toyota Sienna Firestone Vs. Timbren
  • The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs part # F4155 and the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TTORSEN04 will both do a great job of helping handle the added weight on the rear of your 2011 Toyota Sienna which will in turn decrease vehicle sag. The Timbren springs are more designed for towing as they are stiffer and provide more support than the airbags. The airbags will still give you plenty of support for your bike rack and will not sacrifice ride quality whereas...

  • Swagman Current 2 vs XTC2 Bike Rack on Toyota Sienna
  • We do have several Tilt-Away bike rack options for you to hook up to your hitch. The platform racks will be the best bet, especially when dealing with the frame on a women-style bike. The two Swagman models you referenced are great choices for this. The XTC2, part # S64671, is the more affordable option. It has the Tilt-Away feature you are looking for and can handle the styles of bikes you mentioned. It can fit both a 1-1/4 inch and a 2 inch hitch receiver, so yours will be able to handle...

  • Differences Between Curt and Draw-Tite Class III Trailer Hitches for 2022 Toyota Sienna
  • Essentially, other than some slight cosmetic differences the only differences between the Draw-Tite # DT55MR and the Curt # C22UR is the capacity of the hitch and where they're manufactured. The Curt # C22UR is manufactured in the USA, and has a 3500 lb towing/350 lb tongue weight capacity. The Draw-Tite # DT55MR is manufactured in Mexico, and has a 4500 lb towing/675 tongue weight capacity.

  • Comparing Installation of Curt and TowReady Wiring Harnesses for 2014 Toyota Sienna
  • The installation of the two trailer wiring harnesses you referenced, TowReady # 118498 and Curt # C56106, will be quite similar on your 2014 Toyota Sienna. Both are powered converters that will draw the required power for your trailer's lights from the vehicle battery rather than through its own wiring. This isolates the vehicle's wiring from faults that could otherwise potentially cause damage to it. It also helps ensure brighter light output on the trailer. The converter box on the Curt...

  • Differences Between the Curt Wiring Harness and Tow Ready Harness for the 2011 Toyota Sienna
  • Honestly, the only difference between the Curt Wiring Harness # C56106 that you referenced and the Tow Ready Wiring Harness # 118498 in terms of application and function is the brand. Both will do the exact same thing and will work well on your 2011 Toyota Sienna. We have sold more of the Tow Ready # 118498 harnesses (most likely because they were cheaper at one point) and have not had an issue with them. I do know that Curt uses a different more modern style of circuit boards that create...

  • Comparing Receiver Heights For Draw-Tite Receivers # 76112 and # 75237
  • We were able to install both the Draw-Tite Receivers # 76112 & # 75237 on a 2017 Toyota Sienna in our shop. Both receivers were fitted to the same vehicle and we found the Receiver # 76112 to have a receiver height of 12" while the Receiver # 75237 to have a receiver height of 11-1/2". So the Receiver # 76112 will give you the best ground clearance and you will not have the visible cross tube which also hangs down across your Sienna.

  • Comparing the Timbren and Air Lift Suspension Enhancement Kits for a 2008 Toyota Sienna
  • Both the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement # TTORSEN04 and the Air Lift 1000 Helper Springs # AL60732 work in conjunction with the rear coil springs of your 2008 Toyota Sienna van. The Timbren system uses 2 Aeon hollow rubber springs that fit inside the Sienna's coil spring. The rubber spring provides additional support by increasing resistance between the upper rubber spring and the lower mount that is attached to rear axle. So, when weight is added to the rear of the van, the Timbren...

  • Differences Between Titan Snow Cables and Glacier Snow Cables 2009 Toyota Sienna
  • According to your owner's manual, tire chains/cables are only to be used on the front two wheels and must be Class S compatible.

The Glacier cables have an included 90 day warranty whereas, the Titan cables only have a 30 day warranty. I recommend going with the Glacier Cable Snow Tire Chains part # PW1038 for this reasons....

  • Differences Between Available Class III Hitches for 2011 Toyota Sienna
  • The Hidden Hitch and Draw-Tite model hitches you referenced would be identical, since Hidden Hitch and Draw-Tite are sister companies. Both hitches are identical in looks, share the same capacity and would install in the same manner. The Curt # C13105 has a straight cross tube that bends slightly at each end, while the Hidden Hitch and Draw-Tite Hitches have a cross tube that angles rearward from the receiver opening, with no bend. I have provided side by side photos showing the # 87698...

  • What Is The Difference Between The Curt & etrailer Trailer Hitch Receivers For a 2023 Toyota Sienna?
  • The only difference between the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C22UR and our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e56RR is the powder coat finish. We selected Curt to manufacturer our receivers as they are made in the USA and have a great reputation for quality receivers. The Curt will have a gloss black finish while our etrailer receiver has a matte black finish. Personally I prefer the matte black finish as it matches well with most factory trim giving it an OE appearance.

  • Differences Between Class II and III Trailer Hitches Available For 2007 Toyota Sienna
  • According to my research, the 2007 Toyota Sienna LE is capable of towing up to 3500 lbs, but you'll want to confirm this for yourself by checking your owner's manual. A Class III hitch uses a 2 inch by 2 inch receiver opening, while a Class II has a 1-1/4 by 1-1/4 inch receiver opening. The Class II hitches available for your Sienna have a tongue weight capacity of 300 lbs, and a towing capacity of 3500 lbs. The Class III hitch has a slightly higher tongue weight capacity of 350 lbs and...
