This unique powder coating gives etrailer hitches a carbide-like appearance and a rugged look that sets them apart from traditional glossy hitches.

This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Matte black, powder coated steel is durable and corrosion resistant and creates a rugged look.by: Dave05/05/2023
Great hitch! Easy to install, basically just four bolts. I did have to remove the factory tie-down (for transporting the new car...2023 RAV4 hybrid), but that was very easy. The hitch was shipped in a cardboard box, which was pretty beat up. But all the hardware was there and no dings or scratches on the hitch itself.
by: Rob02/13/2024
This is my second etrailer hitch (first one is on my 2010 Ford Escape). This hitch fits perfectly on my 2023 RAV4 hybrid. The holes lined up exactly with the frame holes. No bad words were needed :) The install video was very helpful. Like some other reviewers, I did not need to lower the exhaust. I'm using it to carry a hitch hauler / basket and bike rack.
The hitch arrived in perfect condition, although the box was extremely damaged in shipping. Fortunately the bolt package was securely taped to the hitch frame so it did not fall out of the holes in the box.

2024 Toyota RAV4
The hitch itself is great, but like the last etrailer hitch I ordered, woefully packed in cardboard with zero padding so it arrived broken out of the box and scratched to bare metal in spots (not anywhere visible). etrailer gave me a discount to go buy some spray paint. I don't get how a company this professional can pack their bars so poorly.
Aside from that, the hitch is great quality and super easy to install. I'm not sure why anyone would spend more on the more expensive models that are not even Class III.
For the install, I dropped the exhaust like the video recommended, but it was totally unnecessary and if I had to do it over I would not do that step again. A ratcheting box wrench is also unnecessary, I finger threaded the bolts 95% of the way and after that a 19mm box wrench worked fine. But you absolutely DO need the dog bone torque adapter to torque the bolts on the passenger side (it's not cheap - cost me $19 on Amazon for a tool I will never use again). One mistake I made - there are stickers covering the bolt holes on BOTH the inside and outside of the car frame, and I accidentally removed the inside ones first which have nothing to do with the hitch installation. So now I need to go buy some new bolt cover stickers to keep moisture and crud from getting into those unused inner threads.

The Hitch was delivered a couple of days after I placed the order. Installation was pretty much like it is in the video. The only issue I came across was that the transport bracket for shipping the car was still in place and I did not realize that it would interfere until I had one side bolted in already. The packaging could have been better, but did not result in any damage to the hitch. Bottom line, it's all good.

2024 Toyota RAV4
The hitch itself looks and fit great on my 2024 Toyota Rav4 Prime. I did not have to lower the muffler, as one of the videos showed, but I did have to permanently remove the tow hook installed on the vehicle for the hitch to fit. I downgraded my rating to four, because of the condition the box was in when it arrived via UPS. One could easily blame UPS, but due to the many customers who have had the same problem, etrailer should look in to how the hitch is boxed in the first place, as a possible cause.

Easy to install, fits great is highly recommend if you need a hitch on your RAV4. Only issue I had was packaging and how it arrived on my front porch. I know the carrier probably doesn’t handle packages real well but it wasn’t packed in the box well at all. 5 stars for the product 1 star for the packaging.
by: Ray04/03/2024
Quick shipping, great looking product. The install was relatively easy with basic tools at home in my driveway. Using a floor jack to raise the hitch into place was the key for me. Feels solid, the hitch doesn’t stick out the back of my bumper, very clean setup.

2021 Toyota RAV4
This seems to be a pretty solid hitch for the Rav4. The first hitch that etrailer sent was damaged in shipping before it got to me and was returned. The damage was obviously not etrailer's fault, but it took quite a while to get a replacement. I didn't hear anything after I saw that the damaged hitch had been returned, so I called in and spoke to an agent who was very helpful. She processed the replacement but it was a few days before it shipped. The installation was pretty straightforward, but one of the bolts that came with the hitch had no threads and I couldn't use it. The bolt is also too long to fit in the front hole on the passenger side, so I'll go get replacement from a hardware store.

The hitch was well designed and the installation was pretty straightforward. The lack of clearance on the passenger side made it difficult to start the fasteners, that is an issue with Toyota not Etrailer.

The receiver hitch has worked very well. It is just used for traveling with a bike rack, but does that task without any issues.
by: Wilton Hunter02/24/2024
Great video for installation. Removal of tow or tie down bracket (2 bolts). I didn’t have a lift like the video but I managed by hanging off the edge of my garage with 2 2x6s one under each rear wheel. Took longer than I expected but I had some difficulty getting that last bolt in. I put the two easy to get in driver side and left the two passenger side in last. Very little room to get that last one in. Would recommend buying this. Looks good and not bad for installation. I have a 24 Hybrid and tow rating of 1750 according to manual. I will not be towing but using for carrying extra cargo or bike rack.
by: mrmark07/04/2023
This hitch was easier to install than I expected. I didn’t need to lift the car or lower the exhaust for installation! It can be a one person job if you can turn a wrench and have some mechanical experience. With 2 people it would be even easier to lift the hitch into place. There are only 4 bolts needed for mounting. The challenge is threading and tightening the bolts on the passenger side of the car. I highly recommend using a ratchet box end wrench. I used a box end wrench and it was a slow process to tighten the 2 bolts.
by: Raymond 04/19/2024
2023 Toyota RAV4
I installed it myself and lifted it into position using a small floor jack. My vehicle had pre-drilled holes, so that made inserting the bolts and tightening the nuts simple. I recommend a good torque wrench to make sure of proper tightness. I didn't need to cut or trim anything--it just fit perfectly on my 2023 Toyota RAV4. eTrailer personnel are wonderful to work with and I would highly recommend them!

Large holes in the package due to no packaging material found. Powder coating scraped off on impact points. Not desiring installation due to possibility of more damage.

Oh my goodness! I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you. The hitch can be painted with a rust resistant paint like Rustoleum. It will help protect the hitch now and in the future.

Full year of use, trailer hitch has stood up to everything I’ve asked of it. Heavy e-bike hauling mostly, but I also pulled a car 60! Miles on a dolly. Fast and easy install, would buy again!
by: Chris11/03/2023
Installation made easier with a second set of hands and a jack used to hold the hitch up. Did not need to remove muffler hanger but it was a tight fit.
The bolts took a while to “catch”. Just make sure you thread it in by hand at least 1/4 of the way before you use tools.
Impossible to use a socket wrench on the passenger side. Recommend using a ratcheting combination wrench instead of regular one.
Quality looks great. But did arrive like it came looking like it was hit by a hurricane.
by: John11/18/2023
Was fairly amazed that the trailer hitch reciever was not more scratched up. As parts of it was sticking out of the box! Bet UPS loves delivering these units!
The rack installed as per the etrailer video. I did take some flat black paint and hit the areas that had rubbed through the paint before installing the hitch rack.
by: Ben04/17/2024
This e23ZR model does not in fit a 2024 Rav4 Hybrid. The frame rails on the 2024 Rav4 Hybrid are 3/4"-1" wider than the unit that was provided. I spoke to a representative before ordering specifically to ensure that it would fit, as I know these are heavy and a pain to return. I was assured that the e-trailer unit would fit and was made for this vehicle. Customer service recommended self adjusting the outside plates with a sledge hammer to make it fit, which didn't seem appropriate. The Curt version is en route, hopefully that will fit. For reference I maintain RV's and generators for work, so I am capable of this installation. Very disappointing experience.

Great product! Hint: On our 2022 RAV 4 hybrid it was easier to remove the muffler (2 bolts 14mm wrench and temp tie up exhaust pipe) to install hitch if doing it in your driveway.

Product is perfect and installed very easily on my 2024 Hybrid. No need to drop the muffler. Unfortunately the package did arrive in pretty worse for wear condition and even though the hardware was taped to the hitch, 2 of the bolts had ripped out of the bag and got lost in transit forcing me to go source some new bolts at the hardware store. Minor problem, but packaging could use some improvement.
by: Mark 02/08/2024
quality as advertised. I have purchased 3 hitches for my cars over the years. The supplied videos gave me the confidence that I could install them myself. I am looking at a new car. I can order it with a hitch on it to the tune of $600. E trailer hitch it just as good and less than a third of the price. Hooking up electrical might be a greater challenge. All my installations were only for carrying a luggage basket or a bike rack.
by: Christopher09/06/2023
2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime
The bolts supplied with this hitch are very poor quality. I could not get them to bite on the threads of the Toyota Frame Rail. Which led to 2 hours of me trying to get these bolts threaded into the holes. I finally got the idea to use the 2 Toyota Bolts that were the same size and were holding on a towing point that had to be removed first, before installation of hitch. The Toyota bolts went right in, no problem. Proving that the issue was the threading of the poor quality bolts that came with this hitch. I would suggest paying more for a name brand hitch, or going to Toyota and purchasing (2) additional 17mm frame bolts that hold on the rear towing point. The Toyota bolts are much better quality. The second issue I had was the hitch arrived pretty beat up and missing some paint. Etrailer did not do enough in packaging, a cardboard sleeve over the receiver could have helped to protect the paint. The hitch only had protective cardboard around the square tube, none on the receiver hitch or the wings that bolt to the frame. Etrailer customer service is amazing and their instructional install videos are the best. I really like the website and the helpful install videos, they are the best in the business. If I had it to do over, I would just buy the name brand hitch, hoping it had better hardware and packaging.

Installation was incredibly easy I did it myself in my driveway in 30 minutes.
10/10 quality item. I really loved that etrailer took the time to produce an installation video. I have used the hitch for bicycles and hauling deer in a deer carrier.
Thanks!

2022 Toyota RAV4 Prime
This was a perfect fit for my 2021 RAV4 Prime XSE with Premium package that has the kick open hatch. You will have to take the exhaust pipes and muffler off the three rubber hangers. Don't forget to support the muffler so it doesn't hang to low and break something. The bolt on the rear passenger side is a bear. Have someone there to wiggle the hitch around or lining the bolt up to the hole is murder. I would use one of the bolts you removed from the tie down bracket for this hole because those bolts are shorter. That one bolt took 30 minutes to start threading.
The kick sensor still works after installation...big plus!
by: MSL01/16/2024
Easy to install though I needed help to lift it up to position. Fits perfectly though it's kind of lower compared to the eco hitch.
by: Brent R03/29/2024
2023 Toyota RAV4
The video was a great help. Dropping the exhaust down really helped get the hitch into place without messing it up. Used a floor jack on the middle and lifted it into place. Overall the installation was easy compared to some others I've helped with. Good quality build and the included hardware worked great.

- Trailer Hitch, Wiring and Brake Controller 2022 Toyota RAV4For your 2022 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XSE the etrailer hitch part # e23ZR is the best option as it's mostly hidden, has a matte finish which looks nicest, and is priced great with plenty of towing capacity. To install a 7-way and brake controller you have to first start with a 4-way and then convert to a 7-way to wire in everything. For that you'd need the Curt wiring kit part # C56434 which is the easiest to install and most reliable option. Then to convert to a 7-way you'd want the part #...

The Draw Tite part # DT82QR has a distance of 12 inches from the top of the hitch opening down to the ground and coincidentally the etrailer and Curt have the same clearance of 12 inches. Worth noting is that these don't really hang much below the rear exhaust so your ground clearance would not be affected much.

In most cases, it will still function with proper foot placement on either side of the receiver. Sometimes you have to play around with it to find just the right spot. However, it is also possible to lose the function entirely. The placement of the sensors isn't as exact as you might think which is why it may no longer operate as intended....

The instructions call for a 17mm as well but none of our installation videos use one. The passenger side is a tight fit so I recommend using a box wrench or a ratcheting one. I have linked some installation videos below so you can see the set up process and how to get this hitch installed on your RAV4. The etrailer Hitch item # e23ZR is confirmed to fit the 2019 - 2024 Toyota RAV4 and the 2021 - 2024 Toyota RAV4 Prime.
view full answer... - Recommended Trailer Hitch For a 2022 Toyota RAV4For your 2022 Toyota RAV4, I recommend using a Class 3 hitch like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e23ZR. The reason for this is because the Class 3 hitch will have higher weight capacities, but more importantly it will provide you with a 2" hitch receiver. The 2" hitch receiver is the most common size used for hitch mounted accessories such as bike racks, cargo carriers and ball mounts. If you plan to do any towing, you can round out a tow package by adding the Curt T-Connector Vehicle...

Both hitches have the same design but the etrailer offers about 75 lbs more towing capacity. However, both hitches exceed the towing capacity weight rating of the RAV4 so both are a great option.

view full answer... - Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendation for 2023 Toyota RAV4 for Carbon BikeSince you don't want something that touches the rear of your vehicle you would need to go with a hitch mounted bike rack which requires a hitch installed on your 2023 Toyota Rav4 like the # e23ZR. Then for a bike rack you would need something that doesn't touch the bike frame since its a carbon bike and they are more delicate. For that I really like the Kuat NV part # NV22B which is the nicest platform bike around due to how well it's made, how easy it is to use and the repair stand that's...

The 2 receiver hitch has been installed on my 2023 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid SE for over a year. Its working great! I dont intend to tow anything with this car, so I didnt add any trailer wiring...I use the receiver for the rack for mountain bikes. Its sturdy and the paint has held up well.
