Best Hitch Clearance for 2024 Toyota Sienna

Question

Question:

Apologies if this is answered elsewhere, but I didnt see it in QandA on the website - Im looking for a trailer hitch for my 2024 Toyota Sienna, and the main criteria for me is clearance, as I have a bit of a steep entry to my driveway. Which hitch has the best ground clearance so as to minimize scraping when I pull into the driveway? Thank you!

Hey Brandon! We don't have it listed on the pages, and I don't think any Q&A's cover all of the hitches available right now. The best ground clearance is between the Draw-Tite # DT55MR and the TowSmart # TS82VR.

The distance from the ground to the inside top of the receiver is 11-1/2" on both. The TowSmart will be the better choice between the two since the cross tube curves back on either end, giving you better clearance on the sides.

What will you be using the hitch for?

Thank you! I'll be using it for a bike rack and potentially towing a small popup camper.

@BrandonW you're welcome! You might want to go ahead and pick up wiring # C53VV so you have it if you end up towing. You will need a ball mount as well, but probably want to measure the trailer to get the correct rise for level towing.
