Draw-Tite 76438 Class 3 Trailer Hitch, 2 Inch Square Receiver, Compatible with 2021-2024 Toyota Sienna

Installation went well. I removed the muffler (just one difficult bolt). That made it easy to get it off the flexible mounts -- much more room to slide the muffler off the mounts. I used a motorcycle jack and car jack to raise the assembly to get the bolts attached. The unit is heavy otherwise and space is cramped. Also I had to pay attention to the rear muffler mount-- it was initially trapped by the hitch assembly. Other than that, assembly is straightforward. The fishwire worked well. I plan to go back and apply blue locktite. I was just happy to get it installed first time around.I like the design and am happy with the quality. Using it as a receiver for a bike rack.

It took maybe 30 minutes to install. It fits snugg and I only had to remove one plastic piece, which had four 8mm screws. I cut a hole in the plastic, to reinstall, once the hitch was attached and it looks great.

This is a great product, easy to install, everything lines up to a T. Highly recommend.

APPLICATIONI installed this on a 2007 Jeep Wrangler Sahara with factory tow package and aftermarket Mopar Offroad Steel Bumper (it’s old, and different from the one they now sell under that moniker). I am the original owner of this vehicle, which has about 120,000 miles on it.FIRST IMPRESSIONSThis is a MUCH beefier hitch than the one that came OEM on the vehicle from the factory. I mean, it’s not even close. It looks and feels HUGE in comparison and is obviously high quality. It DOES stick out from the bumper by several inches (the OEM one was flush with the bumper), but not enough to make me sorry I got it. It does NOT include a bracket for holding the 4-pin wiring connector like the OEM hitch does. The factory hitch has a tongue weight rating of 350 lbs, while this one has a rating of 675 lbs. It is the specific reason why I upgraded. I plannws to use it with a Yamaha Exo SwingBase and Top Shelf, which is 100 lbs without any cargo added, so I wanted to beef up my tongue weight rating accordingly.RELATED ITEMSI am using this receiver hitch with the following related items:TOPTOW Hitch Extender: https://a.co/d/ayeWP5UMaxxHaul 50174 Locking Pin Set: https://a.co/d/hILSUMSCurt Harness Mounting Bracket for 4-way flat: https://a.co/d/g5vPpyUCurt Rubber Trailer Hitch Cover: https://a.co/d/e1jV0IGYakima EXO Top Shelf (37 lbs): https://a.co/d/1bVlGhmYakima EXO SwingBase (64 lbs): https://a.co/d/8VxoDC7Valley Industries Hitch cargo basket similar to: https://a.co/d/j7Iz3cuINSTRUCTIONSThe instructions that came with the kit are just wrong. It says the included bolts are 18mm and they’re 19mm. The ones I took off the vehicle were ALSO 19mm. Additionally, it gives instructions for the Mopar Offroad Bumper that do not apply to my Mopar Offroad Bumper because, apparently, the design changed significantly over time.Besides that, the instructions are pretty simple. If you don’t have a hitch installed already, put this one on, put the bolts, washers and nuts on and torque it down. No rocket science here. The instructions DO say to drop the muffler, and that would certainly make it easier to put the bolts in, but with some effort and patience, you can get the bolts on without removing the muffler, which would save you a lot of effort. Getting the washers and nuts on can be difficult – it was very difficult with the bumper I have. See “My Personal Experience” section for details.If you already have a hitch installed, you obviously have to remove that first. The instructions didn’t address this issue. It’s not rocket science either, but it may be difficult due to rust issues.MY PERSONAL INSTALL EXPERIENCEThis was a nightmare install for me, as I have a 2007 Jeep that has been in Pennsylvania for the past 10 years. That means it has lots and lots of rust. I tried to get the nuts on the existing hitch off. I got one of them kinda-sorta loose and gave up. I decided it would be better to just pay someone to do this job. So, I made arrangements – Total Offroad was going to do it for $150. Unfortunately, they gave up too. They said they put two hours into it and couldn’t get the bolts off. SO, they gave me back my Jeep and told me they would not charge me.After thinking about it for a bit, I decided to try a reciprocating saw with 12” heavy duty carbide blades from Diablo. It worked! I got the right-most (passenger side) nut cut off, and got half-way through the next bolt before the blade broke. The next blade finished the job. Amazingly, I got the two driver’s side bolts off intact. Maybe all the vibration from the saw loosened them up? Anyway, I worked the bolts out, without having to remove the muffler. Patience is the key. After that, a couple of hits with a heavy hammer knocked the hitch to the ground. In the course of all of that, I damaged the wiring for my bumper’s reverse lights, so that is extra work that most of you won’t have to do.Hoisting the new hitch into place is easy. Getting the new bolts in, not so much (assuming you didn’t remove the muffler). You have to wiggle-jiggle the bolt and the muffler around quiet a bit, but with lots of frustration and patience, it is possible. I got the left-most bolt in first, then the next one on the left side, then the inner right one, and finally the right-most one.Once you get that far, getting the nut-side washers and nuts on can be difficult – it was very difficult with the bumper I have and I had to use special Irwin extra long double-hinged pliers (like these: https://a.co/d/cypCiGj) to hold the nuts in place while I threaded the bolts into them because I simply couldn’t get my hands/fingers in there. You have to pull the bolt back toward the front of the jeep, so that it only sticks out the hole toward the rear about a half-inch. This gives you as much room as possible to position the washer and the nut. I used the pliers to position and hold the nut and threaded the bolt in with my other hand. It’s tricky – and if you’re like me you’ll need multiple “breaks” to get it all done, but you can get there eventually.Once you have all four bolts loosely threaded into the nuts, finger tight, it’s time for final torque. It’s helpful to have a friend, wife or mistress push up on the hitch so that gives you as much ground clearance as possible. There’s a bit of vertical slop there, so you can either take it in the sloppy downward most position, or have someone push it up until you get the right-most and left-most nuts fully torqued so it will hold itself in position, while you do the other two nuts. Not sure how much difference it actually makes, but that’s what I did.PERFORMANCE REVIEWAfter all that work, I was ready to try it out on my road trip! It was about 285 miles total. I was disappointed. In my initial configuration, I used the TOPTOW Hitch Extender 2” drop in conjunction with Yakima Exo Swing Base and the cargo basket, loaded up how I wanted it. I know it LOOKS like a lot in the picture, but there is no way I exceeded the weight limit. I had MAYBE 300 lbs on it. After 90 miles or so, it was clear that the rack was bending down. I proceeded carefully after that and by the time I got to camp, it was REALLY bending down. So much so that I didn’t feel like I was going to be able to drive back home safely.The next day, what I determined is that there is a lot of “flex” in the configuration. One source of flex is within the Draw-Tite receiver hitch itself. The plate that faces the back side of the frame flexes a bit. The entire rear section of the frame also flexed a bit. The Yakima device also flexes. All of it together was just unacceptable. I decided to remove the TOPTOW Hitch Extender 2” from the configuration. I also re-packed my Jeep for the trip home, to bit as little weight on the cargo rack as possible. In the end, it still flexed, and more than I would like. But it isn’t clear that it is unsafe. I’m really not sure what to make of it. I plan to weigh my cargo boxes and everything I had on the hitch before I decide what to do about it. I’m WONDERING if making an additional steel support plate for rear-facing side of the frame at the hitch would help much.OVERALLI’m not sure this was a real upgrade over the OEM receiver hitch. It seems like it would be, but in terms of practical use, I’m not convinced it is doing much for me. I cannot, however, compare with the OEM hitch at this point, since I removed it. YMMV.

Bought for my 2000 Lexus LX470. Easy to install and fits perfectly! One man job! It doesn’t have that hoop design that your exhaust tail pipe goes through. I have a Borla exhaust so I don’t have to worry about that dumb design from another brand! Would recommend this to other 100 Landcruiser/LX470 owners.

Easy to install and although it was the first time I had to take my car apart to install something like this, it was fairly easy and a 1 man job!

It seems to fit perfectly, no cutting or welding, just bolt on. I had some difficulty with the one-man installation so I took it to a professional who installed it in only 15 minutes. We don't use it for towing but for a bike carrier, which worked perfectly. We hauled two 60lb e-bikes over 1,300 miles recently with no problems.

I bought this for an 1989 ford ranger.when I first received the hitch to my dismay I found that the part number on the box (correct) and the part number on the hitch were different (incorrect) it was the wrong hitch. BUMER! I concluded that this must have been a packaging error on the part of Draw-Tite and not amazons fault. Amazon took about a week to get me my replacement which isn't too bad considering it was a big heavy item but I wish it had gotten there as fast as the original (wrong) one as I was chomping at the bit to go get my trailer.now for the review of the correct hitch.According to Draw-Tite this is actually a class IV hitch, and as such it can be used as Weight Carrying rated up to 10,000 lbs. Gross Trailer Weight (WCGTW) with a maximum trailer Tongue Weight (WCTW) of 1,000 lbs. it can also be used for weight distributing are rated up to 14,000 lbs. Weight Distributing Gross Trailer Weight (WDGTW) with a maximum trailer Weight Distributing Tongue Weight (WDTW) of 1,400 lbs."so your Girlfriend or Wife may say this hitch is stupid overkill for a ranger which max towing cap is 6,000 on properly equipped vehicles. And she'd be right, but as a man who knows he might have to haul around his overweight soon-to-be mother-in-law down to the Wal-Mart on the weekend... I say you can never have too much overkill!! If for no other reason you'll need it to carry around your ego when your friends hear you have a class IV hitch on your ranger.Now I don't know if the painter was a 6 pack deep when he went to paint this hitch, but hey I'm not one to judge, and ill save the "you missed a spot/s" for your boss, A.K.A. babe, honey or dear, but this is review, and I know some people will get bent outa shape at these kinds of things so I will mention that there was a small spot that was missing some paint. not a big deal as you should expect there to be small scratches from shipping something this big and heavy but if it bothers you two coats of black spray paint later and you won't know the difference.the install went off without a hitch, or was it with a hitch? I'm not sure... anyways what I mean to say is it went smoothly.... some say that they didn't need to drill holes and some say they did I just know that on my 89 ranger I did need to break out the power tools!!! muhoohoohahaha erm... I mean I needed to drill one 1/2" hole on each side for the front-most bolts to attach. not a big deal as I had my mancard up to date and I already had a 1/2" drill bit but if you don't, just be prepared you might need to dust off your man card and go down to the home-depot and buy one. It took me around 45min to install by myself and most of that was just looking for the correct sockets tools ect in my garage, and getting yelled at by my lovely girlfriend "when are you gonna clean that mess up??" but if you are single, have a few buddy's to help drink your beer and laugh at you when you drop the hitch on your head it shouldn't take more than 30min to install.to summarize:Pros:*Price is very good*class IV (way overkill for a ford ranger)*appears to be quality welds/construction will last a long time*might enable you to grow a third ballCons:*paint may be chipped/scratch/incomplete (should be expected in shipping)*Draw-tite may package the wrong hitch in the right box (the chances of this are like 1 in a bajillion though)overall I am very happy and would buy again. I recently towed 4k worth of trailer and load to the scrapyard with it and it performed perfectly.

Fits our 2024 Kia Sportage EX perfectly. The quality of the hitch was awesome and perfectly accurate on the hole spacing and alignment for the bolts. I did not need to take off the plastic housing on the passenger side as I was able to get my torque wrench and appropriate 17mm (long socket for bottom bolt, short for one side bolt) in place to torque to the recommended 42 ft. lb. For the other bolt on the side on the passenger side where I could not get my torque wrench and socket on it to tighten I just used a box end wrench and then a longer adjustable "Crescent" style wrench to tighten it as tight as I could with the approximate 12 inch long wrench and that pretty much was 40 to 50 ft. lbs. based on the leverage I felt with the torque wrench on the other 5 bolts. Note that the driver side was easy to get to with the torque wrench.

it was easy to install, however you need partner to install it with you.

This is the second time I've installed a hitch on a new vehicle, and it was by far the simplest. This hitch receiver fit our 2024 Tucson plug in hybrid perfectly. It was unboxed and installed in less than half an your. My son and I installed it (two person install recommended) and it was a matter of jacking up the car, removing one plastic shield at the back of the car, lifting the hitch receiver into place and installing six bolts into the pre-threaded holes. Simple as anything, and not even the slightest bit of tweaking required for perfect alignment. Definitely highly recommended.

Great hitch! Love the "hidden" look - no tube across the bottom of your bumper. Had the regular aftermarket hitch on our 08 odyssey and it would drag going in or out our driveway with a trailer - with the extra ground clearance on this model of receiver there is no issue.Warning - make sure the factory holes on the frame of the van are clean clean clean! Bolts should spin in nice and easy...any resistance take it out and get a wire brush and wd40 in there! I snapped one nut...hoping 5 out 6 nuts will be sufficient for the towing I do(no heavy trailers).Other than that find a video on the install and take your time. It will look good and save you alot of money versus having someone else install.

This hitch was perfect fit for the corolla cross. Installation took me 90min.Draw-tite has always made great products.I've had several hitches from them.
