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 expensive at the moment. It also has the same capacities and fits the exact same way (see attached picture). Plus it's made in America!

What are you planning on towing with your Sienna?

Thanks Lazer, planning to use it for multi-bike racks and towing a trailer. Has the # e98853 hitch same rust protection as # 76112?

@Peter Yep! Both are powder coated and will have the same level of protection. The etrailer # e98853 also has a matte finish, which I prefer over the glossy finish on the Draw-Tite # 76112. It hides the inevitable chips from road debris and I think it blends in with vehicles better. At least in my opinion.

@LazerS Thanks Lazer! But it seems now the price increased comparing to last week?

@Peter Sigh, it does that sometimes. It's a computery algorithm thingamajig that controls prices and it can fluctuate. That might come down again, but I can't say when or by how much. Honestly, I would go with the least expensive option. Both are solid choices.
