While we do have a similar hitch that fits your 2012 Toyota Sienna that is rated for weight distribution the part # E98853 is not. Instead the most similar hitch we have that is rated for WD is the Draw Tite part # 76112 which has better towing capacities but also has the same hidden crosstube which gives it a more concealed look.

I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well.
