Best Trailer Hitch Receiver and Other Parts Needed to Tow a Trailer With a 2015 Toyota Sienna LE AWD

Question:

Hello, I am looking for the best fit trailer hitch and lighting harness for my 2015 Toyota Sienna LE AWD. I am confused by your webpage since it says SE models... want to be sure there is not a conflict with my LE. Thanks.

Sometimes navigating our site looking for the specific trim types of vehicles can be confusing. Your 2015 Toyota Sienna LE will fall under the "excluding SE models" filter.

The best trailer hitch receiver for your van is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame # 76112. What sets this hitch apart is how little of it is visible once installed. The only thing you see on the rear of the van is the receiver tube and safety chain loops. I've linked an install video for you.

The compatible wiring harness I recommend is the Tekonsha # 118648. This is a 4-way trailer connector that installs by plugging in behind each tail light. Then you will run a wire from the connector to the positive side of the Sienna's battery and install the fuse into the fuse holder. Everything for the install is included.

To tow a trailer you'll also need a ball mount and hitch ball. I've attached link of our selection of ball mounts for a 2 inch hitch receiver as well as an article to help you determine the correct rise or drop you may need. Once you choose a ball mount you can then choose a hitch ball to fit it.

One way to make choosing a ball mount easier is to go with an adjustable ball mount like the B&W Tow & Stow # BWTS10038B. It features the ability to be flipped under the hitch when not using it and will provide up to 5-1/2 inches of rise or 5 inches of drop.

For a pin and clip to fit you can use # PC3 or if you'd like to have a locking pin you can use # BX8858.

I've also included links to some articles on towing that you might find helpful.
