Will Draw-Tite Cargo Carrier for 2-Inch Hitches # 6502 Fit When Folded Up on a 2010 Toyota Sienna

You can easily determine the fit of this 10 X 48 cargo carrier, the Draw-Tite # 6502, on your 2010 Toyota Sienna by taking one simple measurement of your trailer hitch receiver.

Measure from the center of the hitch pin hole back 7-1/2 inches. This point is where the closest edge of the carrier will be when attached to your vehicle and folded up in the storage position. As long as this point is behind your rear bumper (and any other parts at the rear of the vehicle) the Rola carrier will fit when folded.

We have one with more clearance, the etrailer 24 X 60 carrier # e98874 has a clearance of 9-1/2 inches when folded. This unit is slightly larger and offers the maximum amount of clearance of all available folding carriers of its type.

No matter what cargo carrier you choose it is important to keep in mind that the trailer hitch receiver on your Sienna has a specific tongue weight limit that cannot be exceeded (this rating should appear on the hitch warning label). You will need to ensure that the combined weight of your cargo, plus the weight of the carrier itself, remains within the hitch tongue weight limit. All of the 2-inch receivers we offer for your Sienna have a 350-lb tongue weight rating. For example, if using the Rola Dart carrier, which weighs 62 pounds, you would then have a remaining capacity of 288 lbs for your cargo.
