I wasn't able to find the coupler height of the trailer you are interested in so your best option would be to contact who you are buying it from and have them measure from the ground to the bottom of the coupler lip with the trailer level. When we installed the Draw Tite # 76112 on a 2014 Toyota Sienna like yours we found that it measured 12 inches from the ground to the top of the hitch opening.

If you compare that 12 inch figure to the coupler height you get for your trailer you'll be able to know the best ball mount drop/rise.

Convert a Ball has the # AMSC4HD which has a 4 inch drop, part # AMSC8 which has an 8 inch drop, # AMSC2HD which has a 2 inch drop, and # part # AMSC6HD which has a 6 inch drop.
