Question:

I am very interested on your Curt class 3 Receiver hitch and also the Draw-Tite Class 3 Max Frame Receiver hitch. What is the purpose of having the Draw-Tite Max Frame receiver hitch on my 2000 Toyota sienna instead of the Curt Class 3 one? If I want to tow just the pop-up trailer or may be the medium seize fishing boat, which one would you recommend me to buy? My purpose is to carry the 5 feet foldable steel cargo carrier. I also have the 4 feet aluminum cargo carrier. And sometimes to tow the pop-up trailer. I appreciate your advice.

Both the Draw Tite Hitch part # 75120 and the Curt Hitch part # C13511 would work well on your 2000 Toyota Sienna. The only reason I would go for the Curt is because it costs less and has more positive reviews than the Draw Tite currently.

This hitch has a 350 lb tongue weight capacity so it would work well with your cargo carriers.

If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

For trailer wiring you would want the Curt Harness part # C55418. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
