There are several different trunk mount bike rack options available for your 2004 Toyota Sienna as long as it does not have the plastic spoiler at the top of the rear hatch. I have attached a link to all of the 3-bike options for you to check out. The Saris Bones bike rack that you referenced is available in a 3-bike version as part # SA801BL and it will fit your Sienna as long as it does not have a spoiler.

If your Sienna has a spoiler, then I can only recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3 Bike Rack, # HRF2-3, because it has a third arm that routes the top straps up and over the spoiler. I have attached a demonstration video that shows how this bike rack installs. The plastic spoiler was not designed to support additional weight and could break or deform if a traditional style trunk mount bike rack is used.

If you will be carrying any womens, childrens or alternative frame bikes, I recommend picking up a bike adapter bar like part # SA3040. Bikes with small or angled frames can be difficult to load on a bike rack and cause ground clearance issues. The adapter bar will allow you to load all of the bikes easily and safely.
