Expert Reply:
As long as your Toyota Sienna hitch is rated for weight distribution like the etrailer part # e98837 is and it has a set of higher weight capacities when used with a WD system what you are wanting to do is possible. This particular hitch has a 5,000 lb trailer and 500 lb tongue weight capacity when used with a WD system.
Then for a weight distribution system the Reese part # RE34FR would be a great option that has a tongue weight range of 200 to 600 lbs like what your trailer would need.
