Perfect for light-duty towing, this custom, vehicle trailer hitch receiver features fully welded, gloss powder coated steel construction. Drawbar sold separately.Read all the reviews and decided on the 12065 for my 2006 Toyota Sienna. Arrived in just a couple of days and install took about 40 minutes. I took my cleaning brush from my .357 magnum gun cleaning kit and sprayed the bolt holes on my chassis with WD 40 and used the brush screwing it in and out of each hole then tried the supplied bolts, each one could be threaded in by hand "Great!". I backed my vehicle's back tires onto 2 pieces of 2 x 10 board just to give me a little more room, took 2 bottle jacks, lifted and slipped the hitch over the exhaust pipe and rested the hitch on the bottle jacks, raised each side, taking turns to keep it level raising it up into position, screwed in the bolts. I did not have to lower the exhaust pipe, just took a piece of board and jammed it between the pipe and hitch giving me enough room to get my socket wrench on. My van did not have the underbody trim and the bottom black lip molding did not need to be cut out as per instructions. I really like this hitch because it almost invisible other than the 1"1/4 in receiver showing. This product not only met my expectations but exceeded them!
I recently installed a curt trasiler hitch on my toyota sienna . I've installed a number of these before but this one took 3 hrs instead of 1 . I had to pry and widen the hitch to line up with the factory holes . This was very hard to do being an all welded assembly . The shipping box was undamaged so I'll have to give this product a poor rating .
I need a hitch to hold a bike rack for my minivan. I ordered this hitch because it's almost invisible, my previous hitch stuck out and frequently bottomed out when backing out of my driveway. One year later, it's been great. It's easy to reach to put on/off my bike rack, but is recessed enough to not stick out. Also, it hasn't rusted like previous hitches I had purchased.
Installation was easy, it took me about 2 1/2 hours from start to finish.
The hitch bolted on easily and the etrailer's video made the installation very simple. I plan to use this for carrying bikes with a Yakima Hold up. The only negative for me is that the hitch is not flush with the rear bumper, so my bike rack is close to rear hatch (less than one foot when folded up and not carrying bikes). Consequently, when bikes are loaded, I cannot use the bike racks's ability to tilt down and away from the vehicle which would normally allow you to open the hatch. The bikes still block the hatch from being opened. The flip side is that, when not in use, the hitch blends in and does not detract from the van's appearance.
Installation wasn't too bad; it took me about two hours, but I was doing it almost entirely by myself and didn't have a good way to hold up one end of the hitch while I was working on the other. I mounted my bike rack (primary purpose in this case) briefly and it seems fine. Haven't had opportunity to load it up and travel, yet.
I did have to trim the under-body panel. A tip for other DIYers: the image of the panel on the instructions is a top-down view, a perspective you probably won't have because taking the panel off without ruining any of the multitude of connectors is unlikely. Some mental gymnastics and you can probably translate to a bottom-up view in your head. The panel cut easily with a sharp utility knife.
Service from etrailer.com was top notch. I am a happy return customer.
In my opinion this hitch (C12065) is the best for a Toyota Sienna as ground clearance is an issue. Just installed one on my new '15. On my previous '09 Sienna I had the 2" Curt hitch C13105 which tended to scrap when going up steep driveways. This one sits significantly higher which is great and it also looks much better too.
For a Toyota Sienna this is the one to get.
Hitch installed easily and with no problems. Took two of us. Didn't need to remove exhaust pipe. Cut lower panel with hack saw without removing from car. Hitch was the lowest profile of any I researched. Good solution for low ground clearance Sienna.
Wiring kit also installed as expected. Routed power wire through electrical wiring bushing in firewall. Ran wire under door thresholds with other vehicle wires.
I am very satisfied with my hitch and lighting harness, and the mounting procedure was very workable as described.
It is preforming daily and provides increased utility of my 2004 Sienna.

2nd trailer hitch I've purchased from etrailer. Quick delivery. Instruction video was really helpful for guidance in installation.
Went on my 12 Sienna like a champ. Pretty easy overall, use a tourqe wrench to ensure the bolts going to the frame are tightened to spec.

Fantastic!!!
Fit and works as expected. The first hitch they delivered was bent. How I have no idea; but when I contacted etrailer they rectified things quickly and sent a knew one without any hassle. Highly recommend doing business with them!
Fits properly for neat installation. Used it last spring to pull trailer from Texas to Minnesota.
hitch was perfect fit, probably the best made for my app.
elec kit directions were kinda vague; my auto background helped.
overall, excellent purchase...
just what I expected. Went on easy and does the job for hitching up the bike rack when needed. (Toyota Sienna).
My hitch package came when they said, it was a easy install. The light package video was very helpful. Thanks. Jim.
I've had this product installed on my vehicle for about a year. I used it to pull a wood splitter with no problems. It was reasonably priced and works great.

It sounds like that the side brackets were knocked out of alignment which is why the bolt holes are not lining up. This can happen while in transit to our facility or to you. We do have a great FAQ that provides ways to move the brackets back into alignment so the hitch can be installed.
