Square Tube Cross Tube Hitch Recommendation for 2015 Toyota Sienna
Question:
2015 Toyota Sienna XLE Limited. Looking for trailer hitch kit. I watched the video and 75237 looks to be the best, but I like the hidden look of the square tube model curt??. My question is if the extra weight specs of the 75237 is worth it given it allows for much higher tow weight 5000 and tongue weight 6?? than the Sienna is specified for 3500. I have a 16foot boat and small pop-up camper.

Expert Reply:
Since your 2015 Toyota Sienna is only rated for 3,500 lbs of towing you aren't really gaining anything by going with a trailer hitch rated higher than that. Reason is you are only as strong as the weakest component in your towing setup so the extra towing capacity of the hitch is basically a wash.
So the square tube Curt hitch part # C13343 that you mentioned being interested in would be a great choice.
