There are couple differences to consider when trying to decide to purchase the Curt Hitch # C22UR or the Draw-Tite Hitch # DT55MR. First off, the weight capacities are much different. For the Curt, it has a maximum tongue weight rating of 350 pounds and a maximum gross towing rating of 3,500 pounds. For the Draw-Tite, it has a maximum tongue weight rating of 675 and a maximum gross towing rating of 4,500 pounds. Another difference is that the Curt hitch is assembled in the U.S. while the Draw-Tite hitch is assembled overseas.

As far as similarities, both hitches require fascia trimming and underside panel removing for installation. Also, after installed, the crossbar will be visible on both hitches (it will not be a hidden design).

If you are just looking to mount a bike rack on your 2021 Toyota Sienna, I recommend going with the Curt hitch because it has enough weight capacity to get the job done and it has the benefit of being assembled in the U.S.
