What Rear Fascia Trimming Is Required to Install a Hitch on a 2013 Toyota Sienna

Question

Question:

Intending to purchase a hitch and wiring kit from you. Watched the video on the kit, good! Ill need it! But, Id like to better understand the appearance pan that is on your instructions for the hitch 51080 which I recognize as a Cequent number. It appears that most of not all of the panel is trimmed away. Is there a video on the hitch installation that addresses this?? On the web I also see a Cequent #51196 for the 2013 Sienna, but that is not what comes up in your numbers. What is this hitch, an improvement???.

The part # 51080 is a Cequent part number for a Class III hitch confirmed to fit your 2013 Toyota Sienna.

While we don't carry that part number we do carry the Draw-Tite part # 75237 which is basically the same thing and would work well on your 2013 Toyota Sienna.

If you check out the picture I attached you will see exactly where the panel needs to be trimmed.

I also attached an install video for more info as well.

Hi Len! I had not noticed that before. I asked and Curt does indeed integrate the ground into the plug in connection on a lot of their wiring harnesses and the #C53VV T-Connector is one of them. Tekonsha almost always has a separate ground that needs…

I would be happy to answer those questions for you. The Air Lift 1000 Air Helper Springs for Coil Springs item #AL60732 provide 1,000 lbs of support. Anything over that maxes out the system and it won't work as well. It is recommended not to…

Hey Daniel thanks for all the questions! One of them is going to be pretty easy but also disappointing, every hitch for your 2019 Toyota Sienna is going to require the panel to be removed, trimmed, then reinstalled. This is actually not as hard to do…
