Recommended Hitch for Best Ground Clearance on 2011 Toyota Sienna
Question:
which class II and class III hitches provide the most ground clearance on my 2011 Toyota Sienna
asked by: Bill U
Expert Reply:
When we test fit hitches, we take note of above ground height of the inside top of the receiver tube. When the size of the receiver (2 inch or 1-1/4 inch) and the thickness of the lip around the receiver (1/4 inch) is deducted, you get a good approximation of the ground clearance provided by each hitch. See the photo I've edited for you.
Using these measurements, the Draw-Tite Class III, part # 75237 would provide you the best ground clearance under the hitch, about 9-3/4 inches.
If you'll be towing with the hitch, you'll also need the following to complete your towing system:
Trailer wiring harness, part # 118498
Ball mount, part # 2753
1-7/8 inch trailer ball, part # 19261 -or- 2 inch trailer ball, part # 63845
(the coupler of your trailer will have the necessary ball size stamped on it)
I've linked you to an install video for the trailer wiring harness.
