Alright, today on this 2012 Toyota Sienna were going to install part #: c13105 from Curt. This is what the hitch looks like when its installed on the vehicle. Next well give you some measurements that will help you out in selecting some accessories such as a Inaudible, a bicycle rack or a cargo carrier. From the center of the hitch pin hole to the outside edge of the bumper will be 5 and a half inches. And from the top of the receiver opening down to the ground will be 12 inches. Now well go ahead and show you how the pitch is installed.
The first step is to remove the underbody panel and this is the panel all the way around here. Theres Inaudible fasteners all the way around we need to undo. And these fasteners stay in place. And going to the front we have plastic rivets. Next thing we need to do is remove the plastic plugs that go into the threaded holes that are in the frame.
We just got done the driver side, well repeat the same process on the passenger side. When we pull the plugs out, these will be our fastening points right here. Now well go ahead and test fit our bolt, make sure it thread in okay. Sometimes there is extra paint in there that will get in the way or some weld splatter in the threads. This is a new vehicle so probably should be pretty clean.
Now the older the vehicle gets it will probably get some dirt and debris in the threads. Alright, now we can go ahead and make our cut out in the panel. This is the bottom panel right here, were going to lay it down and Inaudible as destruction show, so this is like the inside looking out. Alright, were going to measure across 2 and inches in this hole right here and then we want to go 12 and a half inches this way. About an inch away from this ridge right here, well put a couple of dots to keep our line reasonably square.
Then well measure across 2 and inches again and then connect our lines. Then we can use a pair of tin snips or a rotary tool to cut it out. Alright, before we can put our hitch in place we got to lay the undercover on top of the hitch. Then we can go ahead and lift both pieces in position. With our hitch tightened loose well go ahead and put our panel back in place. Alright, at this point we can go ahead and tighten down all the hardware and then we can torque the bolts down as specified in the instructions. With the bolts torqued down that will finish for our install of part #: c13105 from Curt on our 2012 Toyota Sienna.

2012 Sienna LE FWD. Watch the 2011 installation video before you start. This 13105 hitch tucks in even prettier than I expected, and now my brother is jealous. Note I made the cutout in the underbody panel narrower, starting 1.75 inches from the hole (see photo), for a closer fit, and there is still room for torque wrench. I also cut a slit out to the front edge, so I could slip it on with the hitch in place, and for better access to my air hoses inside the left fender. I decided to add Airlift after reading reviews, since on trips I carry a maximum load. Installed single-handed, raised on jack stands.29277

Installation was as advertised on my 2011 Sienna SE. I had to cut an opening in the plastic shroud larger than was indicated in the instruction sheet. I was able to install hitch without loosening the exhaust pipe. I did need a helper to help hold the hitch up while installing it. 27726

This installation of the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver C13105 was on a 2006 Toyota Sienna. The fit was perfect. It was not necessary to remove the exhaust hangar to access the passenger-side bolts - I was able to hold the exhaust pipe aside with a block of wood, and use normal socket wrenches w/ extenders. I used a small scissor jack under the receiver to raise it into position, with blocks under both ends to stabilize it. Had this been a new vehicle, the job would have taken about 20 minutes, working alone, no jacks or lift. Since this was a 6-year old vehicle in NJ with salted roads, it took another hour and a half to clean the rusted threads in the weld nuts. A well-worn plumber's wire brush intended to clean copper fittings before soldering started the job, followed by a lot of WD-40 and back-and-forth with a socket wrench on a 12-1.25 bolt. The unit just clears the bottom of the bumper trim, so it preserves as much ground clearance as possible, given the design of the Sienna. About delivery - ordered after 9pm on Monday, delivered before noon on Friday. The order was complete (wiring harness, etc.) and in perfect shape.31597

Finding the right product was simple on the website. Shipping was quick and arrived without any issues. Packaged well for dealing with carriers like UPS. Ordered wiring harness also, and that was taped to the hitch inside box to prevent loss. Hitch installed as described and is ready for the next trip. Thanks for great service.20871

We ordered a Curt 2" reciever hitch for our 2011 Sienna. Intallation was straight forward. Also installed Airlift 1000 suspension support to reduce rear end sag when the van in loaded. Works perfectly. I carry four bikes using the Curt receiver and a Yakima Holdup. without a problem.20228

This is a well made tow bar. The powder coat finish well done except for inside the receiver. However, as in other posts packaging needs work. The box was broken and retaped at on end, and the nice powder coat was worn off in places. If you're going thru the expense of powder coating, why would you have mediocre packaging. DO NOT CUT your plastic panel until you size up the tow bar. In my case the drawing was off buy 2 inches, peak thru on the driver side of the panel and locate your mount holes,before you remove the panel. Use a grease pencil and sketch out a rough hole. The panel cuts easily with a sharp mat knife, error on the side of too small. Flex down the outside of the panel to start the bolts. I did not have to remove the exhaust hanger, the bar will slip thru the gap. Drivers side first, other side supported by 5 gal bucket and helper. Easy install. 20139

Very happy with the hitch and the ease of installation onto my 2013 sienna. I don't have a lift, but our driveway has a small dropoff at the end, so backing it within a few feet of the end gave me a couple more feet of clearance to work with. Even then, it was pretty cramped and maneuvering the 40lb hitch into place did require some patience. Overall it probably took me closer to 2 hours total, but everything basically went exactly as the instructions and the video showed. I used tin snips instead of a rotary tool to cut the plastic undercoating, and that produced just as nice of an edge. I also needed to get a 10" extension for my socket wrench (which I think the instructions do say you need) to get at some of the nuts. I didn't have a torque wrench, so "get a torque wrench and properly retighten all the nuts" is on my "someday" list of things to do. The mounted hitch doesn't interfere with anything during normal city driving (my wife hasn't complained about it on her daily commute getting the kids to and from school) Mounted a "Thule Apex Swing 4 Bike Hitch Rack" onto it, drove some bikes up to camp and back, everything held up just fine. Even with the rack loaded and swung out to the side, which should put quite a bit of torque on the hitch joint, the hitch never seemed to be under strain. I have to say that the etrailer videos showing how to mount it basically sold me. Very smart on their part! 82623

This is the second time I have ordered from etrailer.com. I ordered two hitches from them in the spring of 2008. Those worked perfectly. I returned to etrailer because of my favorable experience 5 years ago. etrailer’s service remains first-rate. Within moments of ordering, I received email confirmation. I received a second email approximately 24 hours later, stating that my order had shipped and identifying tracking information. Three days after that when I could not track my order online, etrailer promptly replied to my email with delivery information. The order I placed just before midnight on a Tuesday was delivered to my driveway the following Monday morning. Packaging was bulletproof. All components (two hitches and two wiring harnesses) were well restrained, padded, and delivered unharmed. A final email was sent the day after to indicate that the shipment should have arrived and asking for me to rate my experience. Printed installation instructions for the Curt hitch are pretty simple and straightforward. I viewed the installation video at etrailer in advance and consulted it once when installing to make sure I had the measurements correct for cutting the plastic panel once I had removed it from under the car. I own all the correct tools needed to install the hitch. I backed the van up onto my car ramps and then used my jackstands to hold the hitch in place while threading the bolts into place. Did the job alone, took my time, and had it installed right in about an hour and a half. Looks good. 78241

Just received and installed a Curt C13105 hitch on my 2006 Sienna with no problems whatsoever in about 30 minutes. I backed my van up onto some auto type ramps on a concrete portion of my car port so that I would have a little more room to work and also be able to use a creeper (I'm 60 years old and not as nimble as I would like to be). I did run a wire brush on a cordless drill into the frame mounting holes to clean them out. Propped one side of the hitch on top of the exhaust and inserted a couple of the supplied bolts into the drivers' side, then on to the passenger side three bolts. Once all the bolts were installed, I tightened everything with ratchet wrench and an 8" extension. Final torque with a torque wrench and done. It helps if your vehicle is fairly clean underneath: less junk in your eyes! 73057

Wow!!! Etrailer is amazing!!! Your website is excellent, ordering is easy, pricing is the best, great installation videos, product arrived days before I expected. The hitch is “Heavy Duty”. I love it. I installed the hitch and wiring harness by myself in about an hour and a half. I regret that I only need to buy one trailer hitch because you guys raised the bar way above all others! I wish all companies operated like etrailer. I am purchasing some kayaks and a trailer tonight. Thanks for making this so easy. I look forward to being on the water this weekend.57511

I was very pleased with the Curt Hitch. I did not remove the panel under the car. I cut the opening with a good sharp uitility knife with the panel in place. It was easy to measure. I backed up on two car lifts for extra space. The hitch fit the holes perfectly. I placed the hitch on a 4 wheel dolly, shimmed each side until the hitch was lined up and put the bolts in with a long extension. I did this alone. I used the Curt wiring harness. I discovered it is just the opposite from the Toyota harness in that the extra wiring goes to the left side rather than the right side as the video suggests. I am using the hitch to carry a Rally cargo carrier with a ramp to carry my electric scooter. I had to add an extension to my hitch so the assembly that holds up the ramp would not hit the tail light on the passenger side when the cargo carrier is in the upright position. I added a second platform to the cargo carrier and short ramp and the a board to the bumper of the Sienna 2011. I can go up the ramp and into the back of the Sienna so that the scooter can be transported completely inside the car if I choose.53897

I ordered this hitch receiver for my 04 Sienna from etrailer.com after an other vender notified me 3 days from ordering there product it was not in stock. Should have ordered from etrailer.com first. They shipped out the next day and 5 days later...and the hour to assemble it I now have a hitch on my van. I didn't even need to drop the muffler. I love the map of the US and the graphic display of the shipping location. No wondering where it's at.23285

The finish on the hitch was very good. Only some of the very edges of the plate material used on either side of the hitch showed some steel. As a precautionary measure, I spray painted an additional coat of Rustolium paint. This final coat went on very well over the existing finish. The hitch fit well. Pay close attention to the video when they take the plastic undercover off. For the Toyota Sienna, there are three distinct types of fasteners. The bolt types are obvious to take off, but the other two are not. One unscrews and the other has a white center part that pops out allowing the remainder of the plastic rivet to come out. Also, the placement of the cut-out slot in the plastic under-panel shown on the video and in the instructions is slightly off for the 2013 Sienna. I think that it should be moved about 1/2 inch toward the driver side of the van to be more in line with the hitch support arm. One last note, which may be obvious to some, is to realize that once you tighten the hitch in place, there is no room above the hitch to allow you to move the plastic under-panel around for alignment. Therefore, as recommended, leave as much slack in the mounting bolts as possible to give yourself the most room between the hitch and the van to maneuver the plastic cover in place for fastening.83821

To be honest, I was apprehend at first for buying a receiver hitch for my 2013 Toyota Sienna XLE. Well, I decided to purchase "Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" - C13105; watched the video several times. Once the hitch arrived, jack the van up, take off the plastic panel, (FYI-2013 sienna there were no plastic bolts in factory hold just plastic peeled off sticker-6 holds), cut out one side of the panel per instruction, greased all six bolts, and hand tightened bolts on one side and another person hold the side and continued to other. Yes, take two person to do this little project; and only took us 40 minutes. Barely notice that the hitch underneath the van. Very good product. BTW, bout cargo carrier and cargo bag. 81233

Well built hitch receiver. Brackets matched frame contour and bolt holes perfectly. Included hardware was exactly what was required, however, I really would have appreciated a thread chaser, even a cheap one to go with the bolts. I would definitely recommend some type of anti-seize on the bolt during install. Installation would have only taken minutes, but dealing with rust/debris in holes complicated things. 80449

The hitch fits great up against the bottom of my 2004 bumper with very little gap. On my older van there were no plastic plugs in the weld nuts and they were VERY corroded. Plan for extra time to get those weld nuts cleaned out. I ended up stripping one out in the cleaning process and had to re-tap it to a 1/2-13 and it was able to get the required torque.(Whew!). 79127

The quality of this hitch is outstanding! I read the instructions and was prepared to spend at least part of my weekend modifying the pan and moving the exhaust but the installation took only an hour done alone. I slid it into place on the muffler side from back to front and then started the bolts on the driver's side, returning to the muffler side to install the bolts. It only took a socket with extension and a universal to get around the tailpipe. The fabrication is precise and when all the bolts were tight, it just cleared the back bumper. Wow, you guys have a geat product. Now my weekend is free to enjoy riding my bike. Thanks, I recommend your product to anyone woh appreciates quality. 75776

Hitch is solid with thick steel and strong feel. I would recommend this hitch.74355

The product arrived after a couple of days and was in great condition. no nicks or scratches. The personal follow up by E-trailer staff was impressive and felt more like attention level you usually get from a store purchase. The videos are priceless... SO MUCH EASIER THAN PAPER INSTRUCTIONS.... I did the work with my ipad running video next to me. the cuts took 10 minutes with a saws-all. the installation was about as easy as something like this could be. Two pairs of hands are recommended, but I did it on my own with a bit more effort in about an hour. the product lined up perfectly and was easy to install. NOTE have a wrench with an extension to get around the tail pipe. I think the hitch looks as intergrated as any after market hitch can. The round tube (my preference - hence choosing the Curt) seems to contour the rear fender well. I would highly recommend this product to others73054

Very nice installation that came with a few youtube videos to show "how to" - which are priceless! I was able to get this installed in about 1.5 hours (I had to borrow a torque wrench!). Everything went in exactly as shown and the install went quite well. Finished product looks very good. NOTE: on older Siennas (mine is a 2005), the ride is pretty low to begin with so this thing WILL bottom out on uneven driveways. If you have a way of lifting the back end (shock upgrade, etc) I would highly recommend this.72880

Well, it took exactly one half hour to put on. Including watching the video on how to install and cut out the plastic cover. I cannot express how much I am impressed with etrailer. In this day and age, it is difficult to find a company that gives service properly and promptly. Etrailer does more than that. I spoke with an agent from customer service via email requesting more information and she was outstanding. She was able to sweeten the deal for me by attach links to installation videos for the hitch and the wiring harness. I only have one regret. I thought I could out think the video and decided that I would cut out the spot on both sides of the plastic undercovering. The video shows one side and it was for good reason. The plastic shrouding is not as wide as the hitch/ therefore it did not need to slots. It only needed one.....damn......64741

This is the second hitch I have purchased from etrailer and once again it is a quality piece delivered promptly and at a good price. Unfortunately it doesn't fit. This is my fault. I did not realize that the Braun handicap ramp conversion resulted in the fuel tank being moved so that it interferes with the hitch. I hope there is a hitch that is compatible with this conversion. If not, I have another vehicle that will need a hitch.59275

I am very pleased with Etrailer.com service, shipping, and especially their helpful videos. I had one bolt that I had trouble with due to some minor thread damage, but one call to Customer Service, and a replacement was on the way. The Kurt hitch fits nicely up under the rear bumper and I especially like that I could reinstall the the plastic appearance panel on my 2012 Sienna. As mentioned in the videos, check to make sure each bolt will easily screw all the way into the weld nuts before you start to install the hitch. I had a couple on weld nuts that needed work to clean out, even on a new van. Also read the other reviews before you start for useful hints. I installed by myself using a floor jack to raise the hitch up into place as another reviewer suggested, and the hitch slid right up into position for bolting. Also, I did not need to undo the exhaust hanger, just moved it out of the way a little to get clearance.52094

This was because the web based ordering process was slightly cumbersome and did not make it clear in the cart that the product I placed there was definitely for a 2004 Toyota Sienna. However, it arrived the day after I ordered it! Prior reviews are correct that the packing was lacking as the hitch is simply in a cardboard box (with the accessory items taped to the bar). So the paint was scrapped off in a couple small places where the box had been slightly torn. In one spot, there was already rust appearing where the paint had been scraped. But overall, the hitch looked great. Instructions in the box were somewhat lacking, but the etrailer installation videos were spot on and made the process very simple. I had some trouble cleaning the nut holes under the van and wish I had been given one extra bolt. I had to cut a groove in one of the bolts to create a self-tapping bolt because the threads in the nut became fouled. (I did not have a tapping tool to fit the thread--if you do, then I strongly recommend you clean out the nuts with your tapping tool after you clean it with WD-40 and a wire brush.) My trouble would probably only happen 1 in 10,000 times. Hitch fit perfectly on my Sienna. The harness installation was as quick and easy as the video demonstrated. Thank you etrailer for your excellent video installation demos! They made all the difference and made the process mostly enjoyable. The final product looks fantastic on the van. I particulalry like the curve of the bar fitting underneath the bumper--perfect. Well worth the price. I bought it from etrailer and installed it myself at half the price the Toyota dealer wanted for just the part! I never found out how much they wanted for installation. Thank you etrailer.51732

Easy to install with 2 people. Took a little longer than the 40 mins stated but not too bad. Probably would have been faster if the vehicle was up on a jack like the video, but who has one of those? The bolt holes needed cleaning but everything fit well. Wiring harness was also easy to install.50515

Hitch was delivered quickly and without a scratch. I did the pre work (cutting the belly pan) prior to delivery and reattached the pan. I was able to easily locate and secure the hitch with the pan secured in place in less than 20 minutes. Most of the hitch is tucked away under the rear of the van so it's not obviously jutting out from beneath the rear of the van. 49412

Hitch arrived promply and in good condition. All parts ordered needed to install were there. Very simple installation. Took about one hour to install hitch and wireing. Instructions that came with the unit were easy to understand. Highly recommend this hitch and Etrailer. Thankyou 48511

Just got the Curt hitch yesterday afternoon. I was at work, so the product was delivered to my side yard (out of sight from thief). Thx. I installed it onto my 2004 Toyota Sienna as soon as I got home. It took me about 45 mins to install this all by myself. I wish I have the video to show you how I did it without much hassel. I must say that the installation video on this site is excellent and it helps tremendously. The product is great. I also ordered the Rhino Bike rack from Etrailer.com to be used with this hitch. Both products are great and can't wait to use it on our bike trip this coming weekend.48367

Hitch arrived in great shape. I found an installation video for a 04 Sienna van through the web site. Since my van is almost 9 years old the weld nuts required several sprays and cleaning with lubricant and a small wire brush. Hitch aligned perfectly.48338

The hitch arrived earlier than promised. My mechanic said that there were good instructions for installation. I will soon mount my bike rack, which is what I want the hitch for and I will be very satisfied. Your online info was helpful in helping me decide which of your numerous products to buy. Thanks48161

Great / easy installation on a Sienna. Toyota made it easy with the provided recessed mounting points. Just slip the right side receiver over the exhaust and bolt up the unit. Recommend following the instructions on cleaning the bolt holes with a wire brush. Really a good fit that hugs the lower bumper skin. Safety chain attachments should be a snap. 47883

Solid product. Damaged box on arrival. I specifically purchased a powder coated hitch to prevent rust and part of the hitch is scuffed up pretty bad so I don't know if I'll have rust or not. They need to pack this item better. Install was super easy. Watching the video was the reason I purchased the hitch knowing I could install it.47309

Aside from the hitch being perfect, I told a friend about your website. He decided to place the order with another company. I received my hitch within 3 business days. His shipping time has went beyond a week putting him in the position of leaving for his family vacation without their bike rack and bikes. I am off next week with my family, new hitch, new bike rack, and old cooler. Thanks, Adam43526

Nice, easy installation. The cutout for the vanity shield was shown too large, but I noticed that from an earlier comment and adjusted before chopping. 2-person job, for sure!41075

A very good product - solidly built and nice appearance. Heavy powdercoating should resist rust and last a long time. Fairly easy to install by even a novice DIYer. However, even on a fairly new vehicle (2010 Sienna w/ ~15,000 miles), the mounting holes on the undercarriage needed cleaning. Getting the bolts started by hand - without stripping the threads - takes the patience of a saint (and some WD40). Also, the directions call for trimming the lower plastic lip of the rear bumper. I found this wasn't necessary - as the hitch mounts flush with the bottom. As always, YMMV.35518

Received the Curt Trailer Hitch right on time. I was able to install without having to loosen the tail pipe. The Hitch fit perfectly and its quality and finish looks great. Strongly recommend watching the in installation video on etrailer.com Very helpful. I Installed in about 1.5 hours using just jack stands. An extra set of hands for the actual attachment is helpful. Excellent experience. Saved $260 doing myself.35135

Nice unit. Easy to install. Directions are explicit. Hardest part was removing the wind deflector from the underside of my van. I installed myself but with another set up hands it would have gone a little quicker. 23349

Box arrived banged-up, but the hitch itself was mostly undamaged. Not a whole lot of packing material in the box. Lickily all the mounting hardware is taped inside the hitch cavity. VERY EASY to install - eTrailer on-line video made it really easy - just clean out six weld nuts and you're good to go. I installed mine without lifting the van up and by myself in my driveway. The hitch is heavy, but you can do it yourself - it'll be easier with someone helping. If you're doing it by yourself, save the exhaust side for last. Curt hitch is very sturdy and has the top reinforcement plate that others didn't have. eTrailer had the best price on-line - great deal !!!!18458

Great product. Easy installation on my 2011 Sienna (w/ the assistance of my 8 yr old daughter). Shipped quickly with no damage. Installation video was right on, though as one other reviewer stated, you can cut a smaller section out (maybe 1 to 1.25" wide) and still have room to maneuver.35118

Instructions showed that part of the cover had to be cut out to make clearance, not the case, no cutting was needed. It bolted right to the frame. Instructions for Valley hitch for the same vehicle look correct. Ball was not packed securely in box when it was shipped, lucky it wasn't lost. Spent a lot of time getting the bolt in the rust nuts, used an impact on low power. Use a 2x4 wedged between frame and tail pipe to push the exhaust over instead disconnecting mount.19789
