Rugged, Matte Black Finish
The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability. This unique powder coating gives etrailer hitches a carbide-like appearance and a rugged look that sets them apart from traditional glossy hitches. In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.

Awesome hitch at a good price! Easy installation, great instructions and hardware. Fits tight, looks OEM! Thanks for great product!

The trailer box arrived damaged but the trailer hitch receiver looked fine. When installing the hitch, it would not fit with several attempts. I contacted etrailer for support and received an email instruction to realign the hitch. After realignment of hitch, it fit just fine and the hitch looked awesome. Thanks etrailer for the quick response on the solution. The hitch was mis-aligned due to shipping. The hitch is very strong with an awesome price from etrailer. I have purchased another hitch from etrailer and it was also great quality. Thanks again (Quinn F. at etrailer) for providing quick support to solve my problem. Great value with free shipping. (2011 Toyota Sienna)

My husband and I were able to install it with little difficulty. Because of the weight of the hitch it took a few different tries to screw it into place. I would suggest using tire jacks to hold it in place while you get it bolted. We’ve had it for over a year and it’s been perfect.

Hitch Receiver works as it should and it's not too difficult to install.

I purchased 2 trailer hitches (one for a 2014 Toyota Sienna and one for a Hyundai Tuscan) for our Thule Bicycle Rack and both hitches are working great! Thanks!

This is awesome hitch receiver easy to install.and one thing I like to this item
my after market rear lip has no modified or cut.
by: Ed07/14/2023
This hitch, as with prior etrailer hitches was easy to install with the how-to videos. I keep coming back to etrailer.
by: Lois10/03/2022
The installation video was wrong you also have to cut the plastic for the center of the hitch on my 2020 sienna limited edition. Very frustrating hope this helps the next person that install one.

Toyota Sienna
I am fairly mechanical and can savvy instructions well enough, so I read over them a few times prior to installing. I installed this by myself, with no other hands helping me - if this is you, READ ON!
I jacked up the back of the van and used two jack stands so that I could actually breathe. That made all the difference (don’t forget your parking brake!).
There is a piece of the body that is plastic - you will have to remove this and cut a hole so that the hitch mount will actuallly fit. I took the time to do this and it made the install so much easier. I had a set of tin snips and they worked great for this. Although, pay attention to the different fittings that hold this piece of plastic in place. There are three different kinds: Phillips screw, LARGE Phillips screws, and little pop out fittings. So you take this thing off and put it back on before you ever get to any of the actual installation.
There are covers for the welded frame nuts on the Sienna. They are basically stickers. I jabbed a hole in them with a screw driver and pulled them apart to expose the nut. Since they are covered, mine were clean as a whistle and I didn’t have to blow them out or use a wire brush.
Instructions for this item are great, measurements for the piece you HAVE to cut are totally correct, except I would make them bigger so you can fit your ratchet extension in.
I DID NOT lower the exhaust. I actually used it as a prop on the passenger side as I finger tightened a bolt on the driver side (remember I did this by myself). Then I finger tightened a couple of bolts on the exhaust (passenger) side. After finger tightening all of the bolts, I took my time tightening each bolt twice. I don’t have a torque wrench, so I don’t know how tight they are. I tend to have a tight grip, so I am sure they are fine, but I’ll check them again in a week or so. NOTE, tightening the bolts on the exhaust side requires you to pull the exhaust to the side so you can get your ratchet in position. I used the ratchet extension as leverage and this helped. If you could lower the exhaust, it might be easier, but that seemed like a needless pain.
We are taking our first trip with it this weekend - carrying three mountain bikes. I’ll check the bolts when we get there and when we get back.
All in all, this hitch mount is a beast. Very heavy duty, and will handle anything our Vinnie-Man will dish out :)

Thanks for the review! I highly recommend making sure those bolts are correctly torqued. Most national chain auto parts stores will loan tools for free if you leave a deposit, thatd be a great way to borrow a torque wrench.

This thing works great and continues to work for me. Although I just traded that vehicle for another Toyota Sienna and I will soon be purchasing another one of these.
by: Adam 08/07/2023
I am very impressed! The company, product, pricing and my self "DIY", installation was all very good and I would do it again if I ever had the need, Thanks E-Trailer!

2006 Toyota Sienna
This Hitch receiver was easy to install on our 2006 Toyota Sienna, the one bolt located under the muffler needs a little extra time during the install, but it's straightforward. We have 5 place bike rack that installs on the rack and it's been rock-stable, even over 500 mile trips. My only complaint is with the ground clearance (it's a Toyota issue) with the receiver installed you lose a lot on the departure angle, so be prepared to scrape a few times and watch for speed bumps, pulling out of driveways, etc. e-trailer's product though is top notch, well-built and has been great over our year of ownership.

As always great service and excellent installation videos
by: Reece06/18/2020
First-class build quality. The welds are solid and the cuts are crisp.
The only reason for 4/5 stars is that the instructions need significant work. The photos are small and dark, the text is terse, and the difficulty is significantly under-rated.
I am a skilled handyman with all required tools. This project took me about two and a half hours, and a significant part of that time was spent scrutinizing the sparse instructions.
The price was also reasonable. I'm a repeat customer, and I would definitely buy again.
Four images attached. Use as you like.

Fast shipping. Easy install. Appears to be quality product.
by: Alex11/10/2021
Product is reasonably well made. Accessories are poorly made and packaged. The paper box came in almost completely dismantled and both mounting screws and pin alignment stop were missing, and the receiver was lightly scratched. However the customer service did immediately shipped out the replacement mounting accessories and alignment stop within days, and credited me $xx, for touchup paint from local [hardware store]. The touchup paint was a nice touchup. Thanks!

2008 Toyota Sienna
One year later and still getting great use out of it! We have a 2008 Toyota Sienna. We have hauled a small trailer with the bikes, kayaks, soil for the garden, appliances, furniture, etc etc. Its been a great to be able to help our neighbors and church family.
by: Jerardo05/30/2019
Very easy install. Took 2 of us about 45 minutes from start to finish. Flanges on hitch where bent a little bit from shipping but we were able to straighten them out.
Hitch scrapes sometimes when i leave my driveway or on certain Speed Bumps but overall a great well built Hitch.

Had a little trouble cleaning out mounting bolt threads, but the van has 286K miles on it. Still very pleased.
by: Rob Retter11/24/2022
Toyota Sienna
Four of the six mounting holes matched the threaded holes on the Toyota Sienna frame. The fifth *barely* did, requiring some force. The sixth, not even close. Didn't feel like getting under there with a Dremel to grind the hitch's opening wider, even though I don't like leaving a fastener missing (got a damn heavy class-III hitch cuz I do care about weight limits and tolerances). If the thing had actually fit the car, I'd be quite pleased with it.
by: Brent07/01/2021
Love the product, very well made. Very beefy and sturdy, it’s heavy and solid. It was very easy to install on my dorkmobile and the hardware provided is all that you need. I would recommend this thing to everyone that has a 05 Toyota Sienna and wants a hitch on it!

More details in the installation video would be nice

2006 Toyota Sienna
The product quality was solid — it’s what I think of when I buy “made in USA”. The instructions that came with it were helpful for install.
by: Robert 04/25/2023
I did the install alone, I’d recommend having another set of hands, it would make install a lot easier
However, it was a perfect fit with easy it follow instructions
by: James08/20/2022
The wrong bolt package was sent with the original order. I told them what size bolt fit the van, was told they’d send the correct bolt package out. 7days later I received 1 single solitary bolt the exact same wrong size. It takes 6 correct size bolts to attach the hitch. Its not even worth the aggravation to call them back I’ll source it myself.

- How to Tell is etrailer Hitch for 2006 Toyota Sienna Came with M10 or M12 BoltsI'd be happy to help you out! The 10.9 number you're seeing on the head of the bolt has to do with the strength of the bolt not necessarily the size of the bolt. I'm not seeing a part number for the etrailer Trailer Hitch # e98837 so I recommend measuring the threads to determine what size you have. An M10 bolt will have threads measuring 10 mm in diameter while an M12 bolt will have threads measuring 12 mm in diameter. If yours ends up being 10 mm let me know so I can have our customer...

- What Does etrailer hitch # e98837 that Fits 2005 Toyota Sienna WeighThe etrailer hitch # e98837 weighs 40 lbs and does fit your 2005 Toyota Sienna. I attached an install video for this hitch on a similar 2006 Toyota Sienna as well.
view full answer... - Will the Trailer Hitch Off a 2000 Toyota Sienna Fit a 2008 Toyota SiennaThe trailer hitch I recommend for a 2008 Toyota Sienna is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98837 which offers an easy bolt-on install. There was a redesign in 2003 so the trailer hitch from a 2000 will not fit a 2008. Therefore, you will need to purchase a new hitch but you can sell the old one to help offset some of the cost.
view full answer... - Will Trailer Hitch Receiver Fit All Wheel Drive 2016 Toyota SiennaHaving all-wheel drive will not affect the fit or the installation of the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98837 on a 2016 Toyota Sienna. The installation will be the same for all models of '16 Sienna and the same is true for similar hitches that fit this vehicle, including the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 75237. I have added links to installation videos of both hitches on a Sienna for you to take a look at, as well as links to the written install instructions.
view full answer... - Parts Needed to Tow Camper with 2013 Toyota SiennaYes, in addition to a trailer hitch you will also need to install a wiring harness on your 2013 Toyota Sienna to power the trailer's signal lights during travel. Starting with the hitch I highly recommend the etrailer.com # e98837 that allows for a really simple, no-drill installation and features a unique matte black finish that provides a rugged appearance and is resistant to scratches. The 2 inch hitch itself has a 3,500 pound towing weight capacity and a 350 pound tongue weight limit....

view full answer... - Correct Trailer Wiring Harness for 2019 Toyota Sienna LEFor your 2019 Toyota Sienna LE I highly recommend the Tekonsha T-One Wiring Harness # 118648, which will plug right in behind the tail lights. Once you run the power lead up to the battery you'll have a fully functional 4-Way connector to power the camper's signal lights. I have attached a full install video on the 19 Sienna below that you can follow along with too.
view full answer... - Comparing Trailer Hitch e98837 And e98853 For A 2018 Toyota Sienna LYou are correct that both the # e98853 and the # e98837 will both fit your 2018 Toyota Sienna L. There are a few noteworthy differences. One difference is that with the # e98853 the crosstube will be concealed behind the bumper. The crosstube on the # e98837 will be visible under the bumper once installed. The # e98853 has a higher tongue weight rating at 525 lbs (350 for the # e98837). The # e98853 cannot be used with a weight distribution hitch, whereas the # e98837 is rated for use...
view full answer... - Does the 2019 Toyota Sienna LE Trim Come with an Upgraded Radiator and What's the Best Hitch for ItThe heavy-duty radiator for the 2019 Toyota Sienna is standard for those models with the factory towing prep package. It looks like the LE trim has the prep package as a standard, but I could not confirm this 100%. Your best bet is to call your local Toyota dealer and find out if your model has the prep package. If you have it, then you have the heavy-duty radiator and cooling fans. If you're looking for a hitch to use with that prep package, I recommend the etrailer Class III Hidden Tube,...
view full answer... - Hidden Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2012 Toyota Sienna We have an etrailer hitch that does fit your 2012 Toyota Sienna and has a totally concealed crosstube for better ground clearance but it's not the # E98837 you referenced. Instead you'd want the part # e98853 and you'd be set. I attached a picture of what this hitch looks like installed as well as an install video for you to check out too.

- Is There etrailer Hitch that Fits 2016 Toyota Sienna that is Mostly HiddenI watched all of the install videos we have for the etrailer hitch part # e98837 that fits your 2016 Toyota Sienna and they all have the crosstube behind the hitch opening so I am not totally sure what you may have watched. If you wanted a similar hitch that does only have the hitch opening below the rear bumper we do have the # e98853 which may have been what you watched a video of.
view full answer... - Does The 2010 Toyota Sienna Have Different Threads When Mounting etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver? The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98837 which fits your 2010 Toyota Sienna uses six M12 - 1.25 x 40 hex bolts to attach the receiver to the frame. This same hitch is confirmed to fit the 2004-2020 model years. It is possible the threaded holes on your frame could have some dirt or corrosion built up inside the threads which is preventing the installation. You can try using a Brush # 814092 with some penetrating oil to clean out the threads, otherwise you may need to get a tap to chase...

view full answer... - How To Prevent Hitch Scraping on Pavement with 2019 Toyota SiennaThe 2019 Toyota Sienna is a low ground clearance vehicle so there isn't much that can be done about a hitch like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98837 scraping or bottoming out. That said, you can protect the hitch with an option like the Roadmaster Rollaway Trailer Hitch Protector part # RM-050 and that's what I recommend. I don't recommend lifting the vehicle to give more ground clearance as this will affect the ride quality and suspension geometry which can lead to other...

- Determining If 2018 Toyota Sienna XLE has Factory Tow Package and Recommended Trailer HitchBased on my research it looks like the factory towing package for the 2018 Toyota Sienna consists of an engine oil cooler along with a heavy-duty radiator and fan. The factory towing package is standard for the XLE model like what you have. With the tow package the Sienna XLE has a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds. In order to tow a trailer you will first need a trailer hitch. For this I recommend the etrailer.com Class III Hitch # e98837. This custom hitch is confirmed to fit your vehicle...

In contrast, the Draw-Tite # 76112 and the etrailer brand # e98853 will have the crossbar nicely tucked behind the rear bumper, with only the receiver opening and safety chain loops being visible.

- Recommended 2 Inch Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2009 Toyota Sienna For Best Ground ClearanceFor your 2009 Toyota Sienna, I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13105 you referenced. From the lowest point of the hitch receiver you will have about 8-1/2 inches of ground clearance. The inside top of the receiver itself will be at 11-1/2 inches. This is identical to the etrailer option # e98837 and about 1 inch higher than the Draw-Tite # 75237 option. The SE and CE are trim models and don't impact the fit of the hitch receiver.
view full answer... - What Does Tongue Weight Capacity of etrailer Hitch for 2017 Toyota Sienna MeanThe etrailer hitch # e98837 that you referenced has a 350 lb tongue weight rating when towing a trailer not using a weight distribution system but when you do use a weight distribution system the tongue weight rating would go up to 500 lbs. This is because the WD system distributes some of the trailer's tongue weight up to the front axle thus allowing the hitch to carry more weight. For a WD system rated for your setup the Reese Pro Bar part # RE34FR would work well.
