Yes, the etrailer Hitch Receiver item # e23ZR you referenced installs into existing weld nuts on your 2021 Toyota RAV4 with four bolts. This hitch receiver is custom fit and will not require any drilling. You will just need to remove the 4 plastic covers that keep the road grime out of the weld nut holes. I have linked an installation video so you can see the process.
If you are in need of a wiring kit to control your trailer's lighting functions I recommend the Curt T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # C56434. This kit provides a 4-flat connector. I have attached an installation video for this part as well.
To round out your towing setup I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534. This towing kit will provide you with a 2" ball and a fixed ball mount with a 3/4" rise and 2" drop. It also includes a hitch pin and clip, hitch receiver lock with keys, hitch cover, and a storage case.
