Differences Between Available Class III Hitches for 2011 Toyota Sienna
Question:
I am trying to find out how would the hitch models referenced in the subject line look on the Sienna van. Your video applies to C13105, and the installation instructions for both 87586 and 75696 are the same they show the same picture/drawing. The picture of 87586 shows a much curvier hitch, which seems to be less noticeable. However, I cant seem to be able to confirm this. Also, are there other advantages/disadvantages for these three models? Thank you in advance.

Expert Reply:
The Hidden Hitch and Draw-Tite model hitches you referenced would be identical, since Hidden Hitch and Draw-Tite are sister companies. Both hitches are identical in looks, share the same capacity and would install in the same manner. The Curt # C13105 has a straight cross tube that bends slightly at each end, while the Hidden Hitch and Draw-Tite Hitches have a cross tube that angles rearward from the receiver opening, with no bend.
I have provided side by side photos showing the # 87698 (no longer available) and 75237 and the Curt # C13105 installed on a 2011 Sienna, which should give you a pretty good idea of how they appear once installed on the vehicle.
Any of the three hitches would work great for you. You can choose the less-expensive Curt hitch without sacrificing any strength or durability.
If you were planning on towing with your Sienna, you might also be interested in the following:
