Wiring And Hitch For A 2019 Toyota Sienna With A Hidden Cross Tube

Question:

All hitches available for the 2019 Toyota Sienna are manufactured in the US. Item # e98853 and Item # C13343 both have hidden cross tube designs, a 525lb pound max tongue weight, and a 3500lb gross towing capacity and is not compatible to be used with weight distribution. Item # 75237 has a 675lb tongue weight and a 4500lb towing capacity and can be used with weight distribution however; it has a visible cross tube. All hitches mount the same with the exception of trimming the under body panel. All are a steel construction with a black powder coat finish with 2"x2" receiver tube openings. If I was going to choose between the Curt and Etrailer with the hidden cross tube design, I would choose the Etrailer hitch. In my opinion, and I have hands on experience with all the hitches, the finish is much more durable.

As far as wiring, if your Sienna is not the SE model I recommend Item # 118648. If it is the SE model, I recommend Item # 118498. Both wiring harnesses are know to be reliable and have converter boxes to protect the factory wiring on the vehicle from back feed if there is a short in the trailer wiring. Both also have a power wire that connects directly to the battery so there is no power draw from the factory taillights.
