Based on our research it looks like the factory towing package for the 2019 Toyota Sienna consists of an engine oil cooler along with a heavy-duty radiator and fan and is standard for the XLE model like what you have. With the tow package the Sienna XLE has a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds.

For a trailer hitch I recommend the etrailer.com Class III Hitch # e98837. This custom hitch is confirmed to fit your vehicle and will use existing holes in its frame for a no-drill installation. This has a towing capacity of 3,500 pounds to match your Sienna.

Then for wiring I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118648. This is a custom harness that will install by plugging into factory ports behind the driver and passenger side tail lights and then running the hot lead up to the Sienna's battery. This will provide you with a 4-Way connector to connect with and power a trailer's basic signal lights. I have attached an installation video that you can use for reference.

Since 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.
