The trailer hitch that I recommend for a 2020 Toyota Sienna is the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 76112. The Draw-Tite Hitch will be best for using a bike rack as the receiver tube is tucked under the rear bumper therefore offering the best ground clearance. This is important because ground clearance is already limited with minivans so you will want to have as much as possible so you don't run into issues with the bike rack scraping the pavement. Furthermore, the Draw-Tite hitch has a hidden design that gives the best look because you can only see the receiver tube which is shown in the attached photo.

If you don't already have a bike rack, the Thule Hitching Post Pro part # TH934XTR is our most popular option and what I recommend using. The Thule Hitching Post has a tilting design so you can still get into the rear hatch area without having to remove the bike rack. Furthermore, the Thule Hitching Post will accommodate all different types of bikes. However, you may need an adapter bar like the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar part # 64005 for women's and kid's bikes so they don't hang so low due to the presence of drop tube frame.
