You're out of warranty, so there's nothing to fear as far as voiding any powertrain warranty (unless you got an extended one?).
I think you'll be fine. The normal payload of a Sienna is 1200 lbs, so that's just a normal full load, basically.
The tow prep package was standard on my 2007 (happily).
#48 of 49 2013 Sienna Tow prep & hitch questions

I am shopping for a new 2013 Sienna to pull an open motorcycle trailer, GW about 1000 lbs.
We are leaning toward XLE 8 passenger to get a power passenger seat for grandma, and occasionally haul the grandkids.
Salesman says the LE model requires a "Towing Prep" option, but that the XLE has it standard. Can anyone confirm this?
The Toyota website does not list the Towing Prep as standard on the XLE. It kind-of implys it by listing the Towing Prep as an option on the LE but not on the XLE.
etrailer shows a wiring harness that requires removing panels, running a wire all the way to the front for a battery connection, and then hanging the plug out under the rear hatch door. Is all that necessary if you have the Factory "Towing Prep".
My dealer does not have the Toyota receiver hitch in stock, and cannot supply good pictures of it installed. Anyone know how it looks hanging below the bumper cover?
And lastly, why have a tow prep option that does not include the receiver hitch?

How could I verify that our 2004 Sienna has the towing package?
