- Lowering exhaust is a pretty standard installation step for a trailer hitch. However, the hitch part # 306-X7152 that has been confirmed as a fit for your 2010 Toyota RAV4 does not require this step. I confirmed this by checking the install instructions which I have linked.

- I pulled up the owners manual of your 2010 Toyota RAV4 and your vehicle is not recommended for flat towing so since your model is a 2wd model you'd need to use a tow dolly like the Demco Kar Kaddy # DM9713045 to tow it behind your RV.

view full answer... - Does Trailer Hitch C13149 For 2012 Toyota RAV4 Require New Wiring Harness
- You only need a new wiring harness if the cargo carrier you mentioned uses lighting functions (or you plan on towing a trailer at some point) with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13149.
If it is just a standard cargo carrier without lights, you won't need a new wiring harness with the # C13149; if the carrier does have lights that plug into a 4-way, then you will need a new harness, with the correct fit for your 2012 Toyota RAV4 being the following:

- You'd use a fishwire like # C58400 to fish the wire through. Thread the 1/2 inch bolt onto the coiled end of the wire, then slip the square block washer onto the wire. Thread the other end of the wire in through the end of the frame member, and out the hole in the bottom of the frame member about 3 inches back. Then, gently pull the wire so that the carriage bolt pulls through the frame member and out the hole. You might need to jiggle it a bit to get the square portion of the carriage...

view full answer... - Is Fascia Trimming Needed for Trailer Hitch Install on 2020 Toyota RAV4
- You actually won't need to trim any rear fascia when installing any of our trailer hitches on your 2020 Toyota RAV4. Out of our selection I recommend going with the Class III Curt Trailer Hitch # C13416 because it has a 2" receiver (so it is compatible with more accessories) and from our experience has better welds and a thicker powder coat than other options. This means that you get a longer lasting trailer hitch.
Attached is an installation video and some pictures of this trailer hitch...

- No you would not want to wire the module on the # C56434 to the 12v receptacle in the rear. Main reason being this outlet may not have enough power to power the outlet and the trailer lights at the same time. A wire will have to be run directly to the battery so that we have a dependable, constant 12v. The Curt instructions are very specific on this, and we do not recommend deviating from the instructions in any way.

- In most cases, you can add a hitch like the Curt # C13416 to your 2020 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid and not completely lose the functionality of your hands-free lift-gate. You will likely be limited in the area of the bumper that the hitch receiver tube sits near, but the area to the left and right of the receiver should still allow you to operate the lift-gate. I prefer the Curt hitch to the Draw-Tite since the Draw-Tite may require some specialized tools to install and the Curt hitches generally...

- If you check out step 4 of the install instructions link I attached for the Draw Tite hitch part # DT82QR you'll see the torque figure. Right now, the torque spec is 76-foot lbs (as of November 2023). Since our hitch manufacturers have told us this figure is subject to change at any time, we don't go out of our way to post it on our site. Since our instructions link directly to the manufacturer's site they are always up to date in case of a change. So, I would recommend you double check...
view full answer... - Should 4-Pole Wiring Harness Be Kept Inside Vehicle When Not in Use
- Unless you tow almost every day I recommend keeping your 4-pole trailer connector inside the vehicle where it is protected from corrosion and damage. Many wiring issues can arise from corrosion and so it is best to save yourself that potential hassle by keeping the harness out of harm's way as much as possible.
The various harnesses for your RAV4, Curt harness # C55307, Tekonsha # 118389 and Hopkins # 33465, all have a protective cover for their 4-pole plug, but I still recommend keeping...

Just be sure to lock the jacks in place, and you may even want to use additional stands # PTW41021.
view full answer... - Installing a Brake Controller on a 2007 Toyota RAV4 with Factory Trailer Connector
- Is the trailer connector on your 2007 Toyota RAV4 a 4-Way flat or a 7-Way? If it is a 4-Way flat then you will need to add a 7-Way using # ETBC7. This kit also comes with the wiring needed to install the brake controller # TK90160. The RAV4 does not have a port to plug in the brake controller so it will have to be hardwired in. I have included some links that explain the ETBC7 installation.
If your RAV4 already has a 7-Way you will not need ETBC7 but you will need # 5506 and you will follow...
