What is recommended ball hitch lift for my 2006 Toyota Sienna? Seems to ride low. I have a Class II hitch installed.

Expert Reply:

The recommended ball mount for your 2006 Toyota Sienna would have a 2-5/8 inch rise, like Curt ball mount # C45016. This would put the hitch ball at the most common trailer height, but to ensure it will work with your particular setup, I would recommend taking a couple simple measurements.

First, measure from the ground to the top of your class II hitch opening. Then, with your trailer level, measure from the ground to the flat bottom of the trailer coupler. The difference between these two measurements would be your required rise or drop.

I would advise that you check the information on your particular trailer hitch, as I notice that the class II Curt trailer we offer for your Sienna, part # C12065, would require that you use only the # C45016 ball mount in order to retain the hitch warranty. This is fairly common for the 1-1/4 inch trailer hitches.

I am including a link to a page with more information on choosing a ball mount, if needed.
