I can absolutely help with choosing a trailer hitch for your 2020 Toyota Sienna that will give you the best ground clearance. There are quite a few hitch options available for your vehicle, but the models that will sit highest off the ground when installed are the etrailer.com # e98853, the Curt # C13343, and the Draw-Tite # 76112, all of which have pretty identical ground clearance measurements of around 12-1/2" to 13" (depending on how much cargo you have loaded in the back) when we installed them on the 2018 model Sienna.

Out of these options I specifically recommend the etrailer.com # 98853 because of its unique matte black finish that creates a rugged look and is less prone to scratches. Its hidden-crosstube design also allows only the 2" receiver to be visible, giving you a sleek factory-like appearance on your brand new Sienna.

I have attached a couple images of the hitch installed along with a full installation video that you can follow along with.

which one of the 3 that you mentioned had 13 " this is important because my grand caravan had 13 1/2 and it dragged entering my driveway.

@Daniel Hey Daniel. With just a half inch difference between the measurements we took on those hitches, I can't in good faith recommend the one with the most clearance because something as simple as a heavier item in the trunk or suspension that's worn a little more than the models we installed them on will bring it down.

When we installed the hitch part #E98854 on a similar 2013 Dodge Grand Caravan the measurement from the top of the hitch opening down to the ground was 13-1/2 inches. Since your trailer spec is 14 inches from the coupler lip to the ground that means…
