Which Hitch Should I Install On My 2017 Toyota Sienna
Question:
There are two concealed trailer hitches for the 2017 Toyota Sienna SE van - Curt and Draw-Tite. They look very similar. Do you know if one is better than the other and why? Better protective finish / better fit / etc. Thanks

When it comes to installing a trailer hitch on your 2017 Toyota Sienna both the Draw-Tite and Curt hitches are close in comparison, but I recommend The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2 inch # C13343. The hitch is made in The USA. It has a gross towing weight up to 3,500 pounds and has tongue weight up to 525 pounds. Be sure to check your manual to see what the actual tow rating is for your vehicle.
To grow your towing experience further I recommend The T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118498. It is an easy plug and play installation that comes out to a 4 flat connector. To give the wire a clean look when it's not in use you should also get The Mounting Bracket 4-Pole Flat # 18144.
To wrap up your towing experience you would need The Curt Towing Starter Kit # C45534. This kit includes the 2 inch drop ball mount, the 2 inch hitch ball, and other towing accessories to get you started out.
I have attached an installation video below.
