Question:

Hello I currently have a 2020 Toyota Sienna with a Class III hitch. I want to tow a 5x8 trailer and wanted to find a weight distribution system that will be compatible. Thanks

Expert Reply:

First you will need to ensure the class III receiver you have on your 2020 Toyota Sienna is rated for use with a weight distribution hitch. As an example our etrailer Receiver # e98837 can be used with weight distribution while the etrailer Receiver # e98853 can not. This is due to the construction of the hitch.

The Fastway e2 Weight Distribution # FA92-00-0450 is rated for a trailer up to 4,500lbs with a tongue weight up to 450lbs. Be sure to not exceed any weight ratings for your Sienna or your receiver. You will need a hitch ball with a 1" shank to match your coupler. The 2" Hitch Ball # 40038 is most likely the size you will need. A 1-1/2" 12pt Socket # ALL643210 is needed if you plan to install the hitch ball yourself.
