Trailer Hitch Receiver With Best Ground Clearance for 2013 Toyota Sienna

Updated 06/02/2020 | Published 05/29/2020

Question:

I am trying to decide which hitch will give me the best balance of ground clearance vs TW for my 2013 Sienna LE. Im planning to user it primarily for a hitch carrier and have had trouble in the past with the carrier dragging the ground. Weve used a hitch riser in the past along with a strap to help support the weight. The Sienna doesnt have a good place at the top of the back hatch for the strap so I want a hitch with good TW. I was considering Draw-tite #75237 for its 675lb TW but reviews mention its poor clearance. In the pictures the Curt #C13343 looks like it could have better clearance but less TW. I cant find an expert answer that compares the two. Can you help me know which will have better clearance and/or be a better option for clearance vs TW?

I took a look at all of the hitches that fit a 2013 Toyota Sienna, and the one that is going to give you the most ground clearance is the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76112.

As you can see in the linked video install, when we test fit this hitch on a '13 Sienna we found it was 12 inches from the top of the receiver to the ground. It als has a very sturdy 525 lb tongue weight capacity, which is the second-most among hitches.
