Will Installing a Trailer Hitch Receiver Void the Warranty on a 2017 Toyota Sienna

Question

Question:

I have a 2017 Toyota Sienna, V6. I want to have an aftermarket hitch installed to pull a Uhaul enclosed trailer. Not a lot of weight will be towed. Will this void my warranty on the Sienna?

According to the Magnusson-Moss Warranty Act, unless a modification that you added to your vehicle actually causes the problem, your dealer must honor the warranty.

We do have some trailer hitch receiver options that are confirmed to fit your 2017 Toyota Sienna. I recommend going with the Draw-Tite Max-Frame # 75237 since it is a Class III hitch with a 2 inch receiver opening which is compatible with more accessories. This hitch has a Gross Towing Weight (GTW) of 4,500 lbs (5,000 with Weight Distribution) and a Tongue Weight of 675 lbs. You will want to double check with your owner's manual for your weight capacities as your Sienna will most likely be the deciding factor.

I have linked a video of this hitch being installed on a 2016 Sienna for you to review.

So the internal dimensions of the Torklift box part #TLA7700L that you referenced are 11-3/4 inches deep which is another way of saying tall. So since your battery is 11.02 inches tall this would easily be compatible. Since your width is 7.28 inches…
