2017 Toyota RAV4 Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendations

Question

Question:

Can you recommend a hitch and wiring for my 2017 Rav4? I don't need the wiring now but I'd rather install it when I'm in project mode in case I tow a trailer later. Thanks!

Of course!

I recommend using the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76134 and the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56350 for your 2017 Toyota RAV4. The Draw-Tite has a hidden crosstube and is a very reliable trailer hitch while the Curt T-Connector tees in behind your tail lights and draws power directly from your vehicle battery with the included black wire to keep your OEM wring safe.

I also recommend picking up the Mounting Brackets # C42CR and # C57202 so your 4-Way connector will be easily accessible next to your hitch receiver.
