For a hitch for your 2016 Toyota Sienna the Draw Tite part # 76112 is the best option. It is a 2 inch hitch with plenty of capacity and also has a concealed crosstube so it won't be super visible.

I have a great option for a cargo carrier and a bike rack but you can't use a trunk rack with a cargo carrier at the same time. Instead check out the Hollywood Rack Sport Rider SE2 Platform 2 Bike Rack w/Cargo Carrier # HR1450Z-85. This allows you to carry both a cargo carrier and a bike rack at the same time.

I attached an FAQ that details how to pick out the correct ball mount. Picking out the correct ball mount will allow your trailer to sit as level as possible. Basically you will first measure the height from the ground to the top of the receiver opening on the hitch while on level ground. Next, you will measure the coupler height from the ground to the bottom of the trailer coupler when the trailer is on level ground. Next, you will need to compute the difference. If the hitch height is greater than the coupler height the difference is the drop required. If the coupler height is greater the difference is the rise required. You will want to pick the ball mount with the rise/drop closest to the difference.
