Dual Port System (DPS) - the OEM hitch and carrier system

[brian_bp]

For those interested in the DPS box, there is one in Craigslist Vancouver, for $250 CDN Listed 05/17/2009

Good find.

A note for those trying to keep the bits straight: that is the ROLA box, so it should be the one to fit the DPS tray, but the supporting structure is the ROLA system for 2" receivers, not a DPS structure.

Another topic (Installing Toyota OEM hitch) brought up one point which is perhaps not clear in that thread: the DPS accessories which mount to the ports mount only to them, and do not use the receiver box at all. Aftermarket versions of this system even had frames with just the ports and no receiver box; the box was an optional bolt-on for those who also wanted to tow, like the 2" receiver box widely available to add to a truck's step bumper. The Toyota OEM version for the Sienna has an integral 1.25" receiver box.

At least two of us have noticed that the hitch shown by Toyota Canada as an accessory for the third-generation Sienna is not a Dual-Port System design, as it was for the second generation. Since DPS is essentially a dead product, this doesn't surprise me; however, website photos - particularly for accessories - have been known to not accurately represent actual products, so this should be confirmed.
