I would be happy to help you find the correct weight distribution hitch for towing your new 2021 Jayco Jay Flight 267 BHS with your 2006 Toyota Sienna, but you will want to confirm your total tongue weight before purchasing a hitch.
Total tongue weight is the tongue weight of your fully loaded and ready to tow trailer plus the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of your tow vehicle. The easiest way to get an accurate tongue weight measurement is with a tongue weight scale like the # e99044 but there are other methods outlined in the included help article.
Based on the information I could find on your 267 BHS it has a GVWR of 7000lbs, and since tongue weight is typically 10-15% of the trailer weight you should expect to see 700-1050lbs tongue weight if loading the trailer to the GVWR.
With that in mind the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Trunnion - 6,000 lbs GTW, 600 lbs TW # FA92-00-0600 is only rated for 250-600lbs total tongue weight so it will more than likely be too light for your trailer.
I do recommend sticking with a Fastway e2 hitch as they are very solid hitches for the price, and the built in 2-point sway control does a great job at keeping your trailer going straight down the road.
Instead you will need either the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Trunnion - 10,000 lbs GTW, 1,000 lbs TW # FA92-00-1000 which works with total tongue weights between 600-1000lbs. This hitch includes a 2-5/16" hitch ball, so if your trailer uses a 2" hitch ball you will need to purchase the 2" hitch ball # A-90.
If you are on the higher end of the tongue weight range you will need to step up to the Fastway e2 Weight Distribution w/ 2-Point Sway Control - Trunnion - 12,000 lbs GTW, 1,200 lbs TW # FA92-00-1200 which works with total tongue weights between 800-1200lbs. This hitch does not include a hitch ball so you will also need 2" hitch ball # A-90 or 2-5/16" hitch ball # 19286.
I included a few videos of the products mentioned for you to take a look at.
