Towing vehicle - Event Date: 12 Oct 2016 - 25 Dec 2016

I tow my pod with a Toyota Tacoma...no problems.  My son installed a hitch and brake control wiring on his newer Sienna and it seems to pull the pod even better than the Taco.  Installing the brake controller wiring with parts from etrailer on a Sienna is definitely doable. We did it in about two hours in the driveway.  Etrailer has excellent instructions and videos that help a lot.  If you call them they act like they are happy to talk to you and know what they are talking about.  Have a Prodigy controller we use in both vehicles.  We also bought and installed the hitch receiver on the Sienna with parts from etrailer.  Also about two hours and no problem.  I recall the receiver just bolts on but you need to remove a piece of plastic and cut it to get it to work.  Actually not that hard to do.  The receiver and hitch he got has an adjustable lift....I think it needs to be up six inches or so on the Sienna.  Also got an extra UBolt piece of hardware to prevent movement that occurs with an adjustable drop hitch.  Noticeable banging noise if you don't have this.  

I bought mirror extenders when I first got the pod.  They work fine, but I discovered that I don't really need them.  Without the extenders I can't see directly behind the pod....and with them on I still can't.  With the width of the Sienna and pod, you shouldn't need them....but the little circular blind spot mirrors (Sienna may already have this) are a good whether you are towing or not.
