Question:

What is the difference between the e98853 trailer hitch and the e98837 trailer hitch. Both fit a 2018 Toyota Sienna L. I thought one was a lower profile look but cant find that information anymore. Thank you!

Expert Reply:

You are correct that both the # e98853 and the # e98837 will both fit your 2018 Toyota Sienna L. There are a few noteworthy differences.

One difference is that with the # e98853 the crosstube will be concealed behind the bumper. The crosstube on the # e98837 will be visible under the bumper once installed.

The # e98853 has a higher tongue weight rating at 525 lbs (350 for the # e98837).

The # e98853 cannot be used with a weight distribution hitch, whereas the # e98837 is rated for use with a WD system.

Installation for both will be pretty similar. I have linked a few install videos below if you want to take a look.
