For a hitch for your 2015 Toyota Sienna I highly recommend the etrailer hitch part # e98853 which has a hidden crosstube that allows for a more concealed look and also helps with ground clearance.

Then for a bike rack the Thule Apex XT part # TH9026XT that you referenced is a really great option for carrying 5 bikes. It is very easy to use, well, made and also very solid. I attached a review video for this rack on a similar Sienna for you to check out as well.

If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.

The Yakima Skybox 16 part # Y07335 would be a really great solution for what you are looking for as it can carry skis that are up to 71 inches in length, can open from either side, and is one of the easiest to install on crossbars due to the mount hardware design.

Hi Peter! The Tekonsha wiring harnesses are the most reliable on the market, so the T-One #118648 is a great choice for your 2018 Toyota Sienna XLE Limited AWD. The Draw-Tite #76112 will also fit your Sienna, but our etrailer #e98853 is a little less…
