Trailer Hitch with Best Ground Clearance for a 2013 Toyota Sienna
Question:
What are my hitch options on a 2013 Toyota Sienna? I need the most ground clearance possible, as the draw-tite on my 2006 hit the ground coming out of our church parking lot. My camper only weighs about 1,200 dry so we are not pulling much, and the 1-1/4inch hitches are enough although having a 2inch hitch will allow us to use more accessories.

For max ground clearance a 1-1/4 inch hitch will be the best option since the smaller hitch opening means better ground clearance.
On a vehicle like yours there really isn't an option that is going to have great ground clearance, but we have found that the Curt part # C12065 would give you the best ground clearance at 11-3/4 inches from the top of the hitch opening to the ground. This is about 3/4 inches better than the Draw Tite.
The recommended ball mount is part # C45016. For a 2 inch hitch ball you would want part # A-82, for a 1-7/8 inch ball you would want the part # A-80.
For trailer wiring you would want the part # C56106. I attached an install video for this as well.
