Question:
Just got a 2020 Toyota Sienna and I'm looking for a trailer hitch to use a 4 bike rack. Your vehicle fit list is a great tool but there are still a lot of choices. Are there any differences and which one would you recommend for my situation?

There are a handful of trailer hitches that fit your 2020 Toyota Sienna and they can be broken down into a few categories. Since you are wanting to use a 4-bike rack you need at least a 2" Class III receiver so you are just looking at visible crosstubes and concealed crosstubes. The visible crosstubes include the Draw-Tite # 75237, Curt # C13105, and etrailer.com # e98837 while the concealed options include Draw-Tite # 76112, Curt # C13343, and etrailer.com # e98853.
I recommend the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch # e98853 because of the concealed crosstube (for a clean look) and it is the only one with a matte black finish which does a great job at hiding any scratches or dings that would be the result of flying road debris. I have attached a few photos and an installation video of this on a 2019 Sienna that you can reference.
If you don't already have a bike rack then I highly recommend the Yakima FullSwing # Y02465 because it has the ability to swing away from your Sienna which gives you full access to your rear hatch area without having to remove your bikes or the bike rack. Aside from that the next best features are the bike and rack locks plus the ability to adjust and lock the cradles in place. Just keep in mind that if any of your bikes lacks a horizontal top tube you will need the Adapter Bar # Y02531 to keep them level. I have attached a review video of this bike rack for you to check out.
