Question

Question:

Great question!

When it comes to weight ratings you are always limited by your least rated component. Since the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76112 has higher weight ratings than your 2016 Toyota Sienna, the 350 lb TW rating of your Sienna is your limiting factor and what you need to remain under.

If you let me know what you plan on using the Sienna for I can make additional recommendations if necessary. Attached is an installation video and some pictures for you to reference.
