All of the trailer hitches for your 2006 Toyota Sienna are going to sit in the same area. You'll get slightly better ground clearance from a hitch with an 1-1/4" receiver and when the installed the Curt # C12065 and Draw-Tite # 36513 Class II hitches on the same model year Sienna the difference in height was 1/8" and that small of a difference could honestly be contributed to ground the measurement was taken on or even the amount of pressure in the tires at time.

With all of that being said, I do recommend going with a 2" hitch receiver simply because the ground clearance measurement won't change drastically (less than an inch) and you'll have access to a wider range of trailer hitch accessories. Out of our selection I recommend the etrailer # e98837 because it has a matte black finish that not only matches your vehicle colors better, but it also holds up better to the elements than the classic glossy black finish of the other hitches.

When we installed this on a 2006 Toyota Sienna we found that to the top inside of the receiver measured 10" so the bottom of the receiver will be about 8" above the ground. I have attached the installation instructions and the install video for you to check out.

If you let me know what you plan on using the trailer hitch for I can make additional plans as necessary.
