Trailer Hitch Providing Clearance Recommendation For A 2019 Toyota Sienna
Question:
I want to carry 4 bikes on the back of our Sienna. Our driveway has a steep decline and I don't want any scraping backing out so clearance is important. What hitch do you recommend?

Expert Reply:
I recommend the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98853 that provides a slim, low-profile look for the back of your Sienna. It also has an attractive matte black finish that is more scratch resistant than the glossy finish of many available hitches.
When selecting a bike carrier, a model that provides rise in the shank is preferable to help provide additional clearance backing down your driveway. My recommendation there is the Thule Apex XT 4 Bike Rack # TH9025XT that also tilts to allow access to your hatch when the rack is not in use. Also a popular item to consider for carrying children's bikes and irregular shaped bike frames is the Yakima Tube Top Bike Adapter Bar # Y02531.
Included is an installation video resource and photo of the hitch and bike rack installed to give you an idea of the clearance provided.
