Today, on our 2011 Toyota Sienna, we'll be test fitting Draw-Tite hitch, part number 36513. Now, before we begin our installation, here's what your hitch will look like on the vehicle. We'll go ahead and give you a few measurements to help you in selecting accessories such as a bike rack or a cargo carrier. From the center of the hitch bin hole to the outermost part of the bumper is four and a half inches, and from the top of the receiver tube to the ground is 11 inches. Now, let's go ahead with our install. To begin the installation, we'll need to remove the plastic appearance panel which covers the trunk pan.
Now, you can either trim this panel or not reinstall it. It's your choice. You'll need to remove the series of 10-millimeter head bolts as well as the push pins. Finally, remove the plastic fasteners to get your appearance panel down. Now that the appearance panel is out of the way, we'll need to remove the plastic plugs from the existing weld nuts that we'll use to mount our hitch.
Now, I'm going to go ahead and hold the hitch up in place to show you which holes we will be using. As you can see here, we'll be using these two as well as this bolt here forward of the other two. We'll go ahead and remove the plastic plugs which will expose our weld nuts. We'll now raise the hitch into position over the exhaust pipe, aligning the slots in the hitch with the weld nuts in the bottom of the frame. We'll then use our half-inch flat washer, half-inch lock washer and our M12 x 1.25 hex bolt.
Now that all our hardware is loosely installed, we can go ahead and tighten it down and torque it to specification as indicated in the instructions as well as put your trim panel back up if you trimmed it. That will complete the installation of Draw-Tite hitch, part number 36513, on our 2011 Toyota Sienna.
