Sounds like Toyota or the dealership tried to muzzle you. So glad you are back, you are extremely knowledgeable and helpful. You are just as good as the Car Care Nut. Funny the CCN always say's he was a toyota/lexus technician for years. Good luck Viktor, i support you 100% your great!!

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

That’s exactly what happened! Now I am very careful to use a disclaimer to avoid any “trademark violations”

Great video, Viktor.

Thank you 😊

I just received the curt hitch from your Amazon store and NO Bolts, just the hunk of metal

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

@@redlobo3361 sorry to hear that. It is supposed to come with the bolts, sounds like a shipping or packaging issue on Amazon side. I don’t sell the actual product, I just provide the link to the part on Amazon. Hopefully they resolve it for you quickly.

Any issues with the kick sensor?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Hi Jonathan, the kick sensor works, but the hitch is somewhat in the way, so you have to find the right spot to kick it.

Thank you for the video. There were some things you said that I couldn't make out. What did you put on the bolts and what did you say about 50 ft and 86 ft (pounds?) when you were tightening them?

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

@@tavvybui4440 the torque spec for dry bolts is 86 ft-lbs. if you use a lubricant on the threads (I used an anti seize compound), you have to reduce the torque so as not to over tighten and break the bolts. For that reason, I tightened mine to 50 ft-lbs and will recheck them down the road to make sure they are tight enough.

What are you using for wiring harness and how to connect. Thank you for the videos, very helpful

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

Wiring harness video coming soon!

[@jeffreyboynton250]

Thank you for the video! Would like to see a shot of what the hitch looks like from the back with the van on the ground.

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

I’ll be towing my boat in a week, so will make a video at that time. Thanks!

any chance you can make video on installing / replacing tpms valve relearn/program for toyota sienna 2023/2024…need to install for my winter tires

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

You need a scan tool to do it, there is no way to program TPMS sensors without one.

[@dan78429]

Hi Viktor, can you please make a video on how to replace brake fluid on this Sienna when possible? Thank you!

[@Viktor_G_Automotive]

I will put that on my to-do list for the future, thanks!
