Question:

I am looking for the lightest, least obtrusive Class II trailer hitch with a 1 1/4inch receiver for my new 2015 Sienna AWD. What do you suggest?

We offer several 1-1/4-inch Class II trailer hitch receivers for your 2015 Toyota Sienna AWD that can be seen on the link provided. Among them the one I suggest for its higher 350-lb tongue weight (TW) rating is the Curt # C12065.

The actual weights of these various hitches do vary slightly but their resulting appearance after installation will be very much the same. Please refer to the linked video showing installation in a 2014 Sienna. All of the required hitch installation hardware is included.

The hitch with the actual lightest weight is Draw-Tite # 36513. This hitch includes the hitch pin and clip but not a ball mount. You can choose a ball mount with the correct rise or drop with the help of the linked article and product link. Towing also requires a wiring harness; you can use # 118648 from Tow Ready.

If you intend to use hitch-mount accessories like bike or cargo carriers you'll need to choose a Class II carrier from among those shown on the included links. An article is included to help you choose one that will fit well on your Sienna.
