Hitch Recommendation for a 2004 Toyota Sienna Towing Small Trailer
Question:
I have a 2004 Toyota sienna. Which trailer hitch would you reccomend for towing my lawn tractor with? My trailer weighs 460, plus my tractor, push mower, etc, will end up being 1300-1400 lbs all together. Not sure which hitch to go with because Im not sure how to calculate the gross tongue weight. Thanks!

For a hitch for your 2004 Toyota Sienna that will allow you to do some towing I would recommend the Hidden Hitch part # 87415. This is a Class III hitch with plenty of capacity that would work great for you. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
This hitch has the capacity for towing your small trailer and lawn mower, but you will also want to check the owners manual of your vehicle to determine the towing capacities of it as well and be sure to go with the lowest rated component in your setup as the overall capacity.
Since you plan on doing some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not have the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, use the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
For trailer wiring you would want the part # 118304. I attached an install video for this as well.
