  • How To Reduce Sag In A 2016 Toyota Highlander
  • Though we do not have any confirmed air suspension kits that are confirmed to fit your 2016 Toyota Highlander the best option for suspension assistance would be to use a weight distribution hitch that will help distribute the tongue weight over the trailer. To find the correct system I would need to know the weights of your trailer to find the proper weight distribution hitch. It will be based on the total tongue weight that is your loaded trailer tongue weight along with any cargo weight...

  • How to Install a Brake Controller on a 2014 Toyota Sienna
  • We have not yet had the chance to install a brake controller on a 2014 Toyota Sienna. However, the process is pretty much standard in regards to wiring so I have attached an install video of a brake controller on a similar model year which you should be able to use on your 2014. In order to install a brake controller on your Sienna you will need a 4-way trailer wiring harness and a 4 to 7-way trailer wiring harness adapter. For the 4-way trailer wiring harness I recommend the T-One Vehicle...

  • Which Weight Distribution Hitch for 2021 Little Guy Mini Max Towed by 2016 Toyota Sienna
  • When choosing the correct weight distribution system for your trailer, you'll want to consider what the fully loaded weight of the trailer will be; the tongue weight should be anywhere between 10% and 15% of that when loaded. For reference, the 240-lbs tongue weight is going to be the dry tongue weight of the trailer and will increase as full propane tanks, water and cargo are loaded. Since your trailer has a GVWR of 3500-lbs, you'll likely have a tongue weight when fully loaded of 350-lbs...

  • Parts Needed for Roof Rack to Mount Kayak Carrier, Bike Rack and Cargo Box on 2021 Toyota Sienna XSE
  • I'll start out by saying that we don't really have information on whether or not the color of the Inno Wedge Plus Rooftop Cargo Box - 13 cu ft - Gloss Red # INBRM864RE will match your 2021 Toyota Sienna XSE; it looks like they'll be close but the box looks like a slightly lighter shade of red. With that said, the box is 33" wide, so it won't take up a ton of bar space, and this box can carry skis up to 182cm long. When it comes to the roof rack crossbars that will hold everything, the...

  • Air Bag Suspension System Options and Rear View Camera for a 2017 Toyota Sienna
  • I would be happy to answer those questions for you. The Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs item # AL60732 provide 1,000 lbs of support. Anything over that maxes out the system and it won't work as well. It is recommended not to exceed this capacity. The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs item # F4155 is a nearly identical kit with the exception of the valves. With cost and availability being practically identical I would choose the Firestone kit over the Air Lift because...

  • Parts Needed to Install Prodigy P3 Trailer Brake Controller and 7-Way Wiring on 2007 Toyota Sienna
  • There are simple trailer wiring adapter items like # 37185 that allow you to change the physical format of the existing lighting signals in 4-pole wiring to the 7-way type of connector. Plugging in an item like this to your 4-pole connector will only change the type of connector but does NOT in itself add the additional circuits that a 7-way can have. Those three extra circuits are for reverse light signals, auxiliary 12V power and for trailer brake power. If you refer to the linked photo...

  • Recommended License Plate Relocation Bracket to Use with the Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier
  • To relocate your license plate if the Roadmaster Spare Tire Carrier # RM-195125 is blocking it, you can use the Optronics LED Trailer License Plate Light w/ Bracket - 5 Diodes - Clear Lens # LPL55CB. This bracket does come with a 5 diode light that you can wire in so that your new license plate bracket can illuminate the license plate. I've linked a short review video of this for you to have a look at.

  • Parts Needed to Install 7-Way Trailer Socket on 2013 Toyota Sienna

This kit includes all the parts needed to have a fully-functioning 7-way trailer socket. If you do not have a 4-pole already you will also need the item above.

  • Parts Needed to Add a Trailer Hitch and 7-way Trailer Wiring Harness on a 2022 Toyota Sienna
  • I can definitely get you set up with what you need for a trailer hitch and 7-way wiring harness on your 2022 Toyota Sienna. The first thing you will need is a trailer hitch, for that I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C22UR. This hitch is made in the USA, has a bolt-on, no-drill installation and will provide you with a 2" receiver opening which is the most common size used for hitch mounted accessories such as ball mounts, bike racks and cargo carriers. Next, you will need a...

  • Parts to Install Brake Controller and 7-Way Trailer Wiring in 2014 Toyota Sienna
  • In order for your Sienna to activate the electric drum brakes on your trailer it will need to have a 7-way trailer socket. This connector carries lighting signals, 12V maintenance power for the trailer's battery (or power for it's lights) as well as the signal to activate the trailer brakes when you slow the Sienna. You'll also need a trailer brake controller. If the Sienna does not have a 4-pole flat trailer connector then you'll also need one of those. You can use the Curt part you referenced,...

  • Do I Need to Install Wiring on 2011 Toyota Sienna Equipped With a Tow Package
  • I researched the 2011 Toyota Sienna, and found that your Sienna should have the V6 motor which would be the model rated for towing and has a few added features. The 2011 Toyota Sienna does not come equipped with trailer wiring, and you will need to install Tow Ready Custom Fit Vehicle Wiring for the Toyota Sienna, part # 118498 which will allow you to have light functions on your trailer. I have linked instructions for installation of part # 118498. To complete your towing setup, you...

  • Adding a 7-Way Connector and Brake Controller on a 2015 Toyota Sienna with 4-Way Connector
  • There isn't a 7-Way harness that will plug into your 2015 Toyota Sienna but you can install one and a brake controller by hardwiring them in. You will just need 2 items since your van already has a 4-Way trailer connector. You will need installation kit # ETBC7 and a brake controller. For a brake controller I recommend the P2 # 90885 because it is easy to set up and use and it is reliable. Since the ETBC7 installation is a hardwire no matter what vehicle it is on you can use the video...

  • Recommended Solution for Hitch Dragging Over Speed Bumps on 2016 Toyota Sienna
  • I have a solution for you, but the Timbren # TTORSEN04 are not going to significantly lift the rear end of your vehicle and really aren't intended for this purpose. These are designed for when you're towing a camper that has a heavier tongue weight causing sag on the rear end when it's being towed and none of the available suspension enhancements for your 2016 Toyota Sienna will provide a real significant lift you're seeking. With that said, you can use the Ultra Fab # UF48-979020 skid...

  • Parts Needed to Add a 7-Way Trailer Connector to a 2011 Toyota Sienna
  • To start, you would need the T-One Connector w/Upgraded Circuit Protected ModuLite, # 118498, to first provide a 4-Way flat trailer connector at the back of your 2011 Toyota Sienna. I have included a link to the installation details for reference. With the 4-Way installed, the next best solution would be to install a 4 and 7 Way Installation Kit # ETBC7. This will provide a 7-Way connection (while still retaining the use of the 4-Way flat) and it provides all of the wiring and circuit...

  • Parts Required to Install Prodigy Trailer Brake Controller in 2015 Toyota Sienna
  • The Prodigy RF brake controller # TK94FR is not compatible with the electric-over-hydraulic trailer disc brake actuator that is installed on your trailer, however their excellent Prodigy P2 # 90885 will work fine with such trailer braking systems as it allows you to select this operation mode from its main menu screen. Since you already have a 4-pole harness to install this you will need only our # ETBC7 installation kit, which includes the 7-way and all wiring components required to completely...

  • Recommended Roof Crossbars For A 2022 Toyota Sienna With Factory Rails
  • The reason why the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack - Aero Crossbars - Raised, Factory Side Rails # MPG215 fits your 2022 Toyota Sienna, and the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack - Aero Crossbars - Raised, Factory Side Rails # MPG217 does not has to do with the width of your vehicle's roof being too narrow. Although, if you wanted to get closer to the 65" you mentioned, then I recommend checking out the: -Malone SteelTop Roof Rack - Square Crossbars - Raised, Factory Side Rails # MPG202. These bars...
