Expert Answers about Toyota Sienna


  • Will Trailer Hitch Installation Work With 2012 Toyota Sienna SE With Ground Effects
  • If the ground effects you have on your Sienna are installed in a manner that would interfere with the installation of the Curt Trailer Hitch, part # C13105, you may have to modify or remove some items. I have attached the installation instructions you can check out. The only mention of any trimming when installing the hitch is that the underbody trim panel may need to be trimmed a bit as shown in the diagram in the instructions. This is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2-inch receiver opening....

  • Is the Draw-Tite Hitch DT55MR for a 2022 Toyota Sienna Concealed?
  • I have attached a picture of the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver item # DT55MR installed on a 2022 Toyota Sienna van. It is not a concealed hitch but it is the lowest profile hitch of the available options for your van. If you need a wiring harness I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # TK69FR. This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your vehicle's wiring harness located in the rear cargo area. This will provide you...

  • I attached the install video we shot for the Tekonsha trailer wiring harness part # 118648 on a 2017 Toyota Sienna. I would recommend following it as a guide completely and you'll have no issues with the harness and would be installing it in a way that wouldn't void the warranty.

  • Can the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness for a 2017 Toyota Sienna Be Powered Using the Rear 12 Volt Aux
  • The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness part # 118648 which is a fit for your 2017 Toyota Sienna will need to be powered directly from the vehicle's battery. If you choose to use the rear 12 volt auxiliary power which is not what I recommend then you will need to do so at your own risk. The maximum amp draw for the above trailer wiring harness is separated between two circuits, 7.5 amps for the tail lights and 2.1 amps for the stop/turn signal lights. I have attached an install video that shows...

  • Does the K-Source Replacement Side Mirror for a 2006 Toyota Sienna Have Auto-Dimming
  • No, the K-Source Replacement Side Mirror # KS70072T does not have the auto dimming feature, unfortunately. However, this mirror does have power remote capability and is a direct replacement for your 2006 Toyota Sienna. Also, for what it's worth, there are not any options that have auto dim.

  • Left Turn Signal Makes Right Trailer Signal Blink With Hopkins Wiring Harness,1998 Toyota Sienna
  • I suppose it is possible that something, somewhere was not installed correctly when you installed the Plug-N-Tow Wiring harness, # 43475, into your 1998 Toyota Sienna. There is an easy way to determine if you have the sides switched. The wires with yellow, red, and brown plug into the driver side taillight wiring. The Connector with the green wire plugs into the passenger side taillight wiring. make sure that the white ground wire is attached to a bare metal surface. Looking at the picture...

  • Does Hot Lead for Both 4-Way Harness and 7-Way Connector Need to be Run on Vehicle
  • The Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness 4-Way Connector # 118648 for your 2017 Toyota Sienna does require that a hot lead be run to the vehicle battery. This hot lead is needed to power the converter for the 4-Way harness and will be separate from the power wire that needs to be installed for a 7-Way kit like # ETBC7. The 12V wire for a 7-Way is ran to the battery for the 12V pin at the connector. Both power wires will need to be run to the battery. I also don't recommend running both...

  • Can a Titan Electric Over Hydraulic Actuator be Installed without a Break Away Kit
  • Technically, you could install the Titan BrakeRite I Plug and Play Electric-Hydraulic Actuator Kit # T4813102 without a break away kit. However, that is illegal in most states and you would be hit with a heavy fine if the break away kit is missing or not functional. To add a break away kit use # T4822100.

  • Options for Routing the Power Wire of a Trailer Wiring Harness in a 2011 Toyota Sienna
  • It would be possible for you to route the power wire for the Curt Trailer Wiring harness # C56106 on the inside of your 2011 Toyota Sienna but it will prove to be more time consuming as you will have to route the wire under trim panels to get it from the back to the front of the vehicle and then will have to find a hole in the firewall. I would run the wire on the outside using jackstands to secure the vehicle in the air while you work underneath it. But in the end it's your call whether...

  • Installation of Powered 4-Way Trailer Connector and 7-Way Adapter on 2012 Toyota Sienna
  • The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118498 comes with a 12 gauge wire to power the module that will be run from your battery. If you are adding a 7-way trailer connector like # ETBC7 then you will also run two 10 gauge wires in a combined sheathing to the 7-way. Both of these wires will connect to the battery as well but one runs power to your trailer brake controller under your dash, and then that same wire in the sheathing will connect to the brake...

  • Where Does the 4 Pin Connector Attach to My 2021 Toyota Seinna?
  • The Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # TK69FR attaches in the rear cargo area behind the panel the jack is stored in. It is a plug in adapter that requires no cutting or splicing. It can be stored in this area until you need to use it then you would just have it hang out the rear door so it can connect to your trailer.

  • Cleaning Out Corroded Weldnuts to Install a Trailer Hitch on a 2006 Toyota Sienna
  • What you are experiencing are weldnuts on the vehicle frame that are corroded and packed with road grime. This makes it seem like the bolts are too large. Really all you have to do is clean out the weldnuts. I have included a link to an FAQ article and a video that will help. A stiff wire brush, like # DW00254, will help. This happens any time a vehicle has seen at least 1 winter. The bolt size for the weldnuts on your 2006 Toyota Sienna should be M12-1.25 x 40.

  • When Installing the ETBC7 Which Breaker Is Used On Wire to Brake Controller
  • When installing the # ETBC7 you will use the 40amp breaker to go between the battery and the 7 way on the 12v hot lead; the 20amp or 30 amp breaker will be used between the battery and the brake controller along the power wire for that. Which breaker you'll use will depend on which brake controller you're using, so you'll want to check the instructions for the brake controller you're using to determine which one should be installed. I've linked the installation video of the ETBC7 on a...

  • Can Third Row Seats be Folded Back and have WeatherTech Cargo Mats Installed
  • The WeatherTech floor mat part # WT40238 that you referenced is designed to fit from the behind the 3rd row seat to the back of the vehicle. It will not work with the power 3rd row seats. If your third row of seats folds back into the cargo area this mat would need to get removed. I attached an install video for this mat for you to check out as well.

  • Installation of Transmission Cooler and Thermostat on 2013 Toyota Sienna XLE 3.5L V6
  • Derale Fluid Control Thermostat Kit w/ 3/8" NPT Ports # D13011 and the Transmission cooler # D13503 will work well on your 2013 Sienna. The thermostat is your fail safe, so I recommend putting it between your transmission and the secondary cooler. The thermostat will allow full oil flow whether the valve is open or closed so your transmission will get what it needs at all times and there won't be any pressurizing of hoses. The Mounting Bracket Kit for Derale Fluid Control Thermostats...

  • Use of Curt Support Strap With Bike Rack
  • If you have a Curt Class I or Class II 1-1/4" by 1-1/4" trailer hitch receiver, you should use the Curt trailer hitch support strap with a cam buckle, # 18050 for any non-trailer loads, like a bike rack or cargo carrier. While required by less manufacturers now than previously, a support strap is still recommended on some hitches and always a valuable added component for stability. This strap will provide additional stability and support to a bike rack. It is recommended for use with...

  • Why Does 4-Pole Wiring Harness Need Direct Battery Power Connection
  • You do need to make a direct wired battery connection for a powered wiring harness like # 118498 because the small accessory 12V convenience outlets provided in vehicle do not have a high enough current rating to power the harness and all of the trailer lights. These handy outlets are great for things like charging a cell phone but they can't deliver the current needed to power trailer lights. The other concern is that were the plug-in connection to that outlet to come loose you would...

  • Under Body Panel Trimming to Install Curt Class III Receiver Part # C13105 on 2011 Toyota Sienna SE
  • According to my contacts at Curt Manufacturing, no trimming of the bumper fascia will be needed to install the Class III Receiver, part # C13105 on your 2011 Sienna SE. Certain models of the Sienna that are equipped with the plastic under body panel (see linked installation instructions) might need a 12-1/2 by 2-3/4 inch area of the panel trimmed. This panel is located completely underneath the vehicle, and is not visible unless you are under the vehicle. According to the person in Tech...
