Expert Answers about Toyota RAV4


  • Trailer Hitch For A 2024 RAV4 Hybrid And Recommended Installer
  • Hello Vron. For a class 2 hitch for your 2024 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid I recommend the Curt Hitch # C66KR. This will be a very easy bolt-on install. We do have several installers not too far away from you. The link below will show you the full list of installers in your area along with their contact info. Bauers Custom Hitches in Hopkins is one that I recommend if you are willing to drive about 20 miles. You also have Burnsville Trailer Hitch in Burnsville and they also do this kind of work.

  • Difference Between Draw-Tite Hitch and Curt Hitch for 2019 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid
  • First, just to clarify, both the Draw-Tite # DT82QR Trailer Hitch and the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13416 are a fit for your 2019 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. As for the differences, there are very few, and the installation of either hitch will have some small impact on ground clearance. I added side-by-side photos that show these hitches installed on a RAV4 and they will create a point lower to the ground than if you did not have a hitch, though it should not be enough to impact your vehicle.

  • Recommended Roof Rack For A 2023 Toyota RAV4 With A Thule Hullavator
  • Hi Cathy, To ensure that you can get the extra extension to mount the Thule Hullavator # TH898 you'll want to go with a Yakima roof rack system. Yakima crossbars run their mounting track the entire length of the crossbar so you can go with ones that are longer than your typical length without worrying if the mounting feet will be able to connect. You'll want the following components: Yakima JetStream Crossbars - Black - 60" Long # Y00426 or silver # Y00429 SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars...

  • Recommended Rooftop Cargo Bag for Crossbars on a 2019 Toyota RAV4
  • Bruce, the straps on the Rhino-Rack Rooftop Cargo Bag # RRLB350 are really only long enough to go around the bars on a platform rack so it's not going to work with your regular cross bars. Instead, I'd recommend going with the Rightline Gear Ace 2 Rooftop Cargo Bag # RL100A20 which is pretty similar to the Rhino-Rack cargo bag, much easier on the wallet, and can be mounted directly to your crossbars with the longer straps.

  • Will The Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MAL84AR With 58" Crossbars Provide Room For Thule Hullavator?
  • Yes, the Malone AirFlow2 Roof Rack # MAL84AR with the 58" crossbars will give you the clearance you need for the Hullavator Pro # TH898. I have included a video near the bottom of the page for this roof rack also on a 2017 Toyota RAV4 so you can see the overhang you will end up with.

  • Troubleshooting Curt Brake Controller with Short Error When Override is Slid
  • Sounds like you have a wiring short most likely due to a wiring issue where the brake controller is connected to your truck. I would suspect there's some exposed wire that is creating a short that you'd want to use some electrical tape to insulate and fix. The other place to check is the wiring behind your trailer wiring connectors for shorts. If not that it's the controller that has an internal short which is unfortunately not uncommon for Curt brake controllers. The Prodigy P2 # 90885...

  • Troubleshooting 2019 Toyota RAV4 Curt T-Connector Wiring Installation
  • Hey Mike, thanks for ordering the Curt Hitch # C13416 and Wiring # C56434 for your 2019 Toyota RAV4! Since you installed the T-Connector style the easiest way to see what's going on is to disconnect the Curt tees and plug in your RAV4 tail lights directly to the vehicle wiring and see if that fixes your issues. If that does then something is going on with the Curt wiring like the connectors weren't seated properly or the black converter box is messed up. If the connectors are seated properly...

  • Which Circuit Breaker to Use When Installing Prodigy P2 Brake Controller
  • Hey Gene, so the amperage requirement of the breaker that you'll use when installing your Prodigy P2 brake controller part # 90885 will be based on the amount of brake axles your trailer has but generally a 30 amp breaker is fine. For a single axle a 20 amp breaker like part # PK54-120. For a double axle the 30 amp breaker part # 7012A.

  • Will the Rhino-Rack Vortex Crossbars Support A Rooftop Tent
  • Yes, the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars # RRVA126B-2 will easily support a roof tent once installed and parked because the bars will only bear part of the weight, the majority of the weight will be over the axles.

  • Will Thule Arcos Melt from Exhaust Heat or Not
  • Hey Paul, so this is a very valid concern but you would not need to have to worry about the heat from the exhaust of your 2022 Toyota RAV4 affecting the Thule Arcos Cargo Carrier part # TH25YE. This carrier has a rise in the shank to get the carrier above the exhaust and also the carrier is far enough away from the exhaust that you wouldn't have to worry. Basically the only time exhaust heat actually creates problems is if the vehicle has a diesel engine.

  • Trailer Wiring Recommendation for 2018 Toyota RAV Hybrid
  • Hey Timothy, sorry about how U-Haul totally screwed the pooch and sent you home with the wrong trailer wiring for your 2018 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. We have the Tekonsha kit part # 118578 that fits your vehicle and would be a great option. It installs inline with your taillight connectors and comes with the most reliable converter box. I attached a picture of a review for this kit on a similar 18 Rav4 hybrid for you to check out as well.

  • Recommended Roof Rack and Locks for 2024 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid With Yakima ShowDown
  • I'm glad you want to stick with Yakima since it is what I would have recommended regardless. For your 2024 RAV4 with flush rails I recommend the Yakima JetStream roof rack. You will need the following: -Yakima JetStream Crossbars # Y00425 (black) OR # Y00428 (silver) -SkyLine Towers for Yakima Crossbars # Y53TR -Landing Pad 23 for Yakima SkyLine and Control Towers # Y98FR -Yakima Same Key System Lock Cores (QTY 6) # Y07206 for the rack and ShowDown OR # Y07204 for just the rack.

  • Distance Between Bolt Holes on etrailer Hitch for 2018 Toyota RAV4
  • The distance between the # e98864 bolt holes closest to the bumper on center is 41.7" and the other set of holes closest to the engine is 42.23". There are a lot of reviews on this hitch and some other RAV4 owners have faced a similar problem. Hitches are designed to flex so in many cases they were able to move it into position with some extra force while others made some modifications. Unless you want to have a custom hitch fabricated it looks like you will have to do the same to install...

  • Will The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e23ZRFit a 2022 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid?
  • Yes, the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e23ZR is confirmed to fit your 2022 Toyota RAV4 hybrid. I recommend also installing the 4-Way # C56434 harness when you install the receiver. This wiring connector is most commonly found on small trailers and also Auxiliary Lights # C53201. The auxiliary lights are needed when carrying hitch mounted accessories which impair the view of your tail lights.

  • Do You Have a Hitch for a 2024 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Limited?
  • Yes, we do! To add a hitch to your 2024 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Limited, I recommend our etrailer item # e23ZR. This hitch has been confirmed to fit all models of the 2024 RAV4 including the hybrid. It is custom fit and bolts to your Toyota with included hardware. The etrailer Hitch item # e23ZR is a class III hitch with a 2" receiver.

  • Recommended Hitch for a 2023 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Limited
  • To add a hitch to your 2023 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid Limited, I recommend our etrailer item # e23ZR. This hitch has been confirmed to fit all models of the 2023 RAV4 including the hybrid. It is custom fit and bolts to your Toyota with included hardware. This hitch is identical to the Curt item # C13416 with the exception of the matte finish you referenced. I prefer this finish because it blends in better beneath the vehicle's trim then the glossy coating on the Curt. The etrailer Hitch item...

  • Can A Panoramic Moonroof Be Used With Roof Rack On a 2024 Toyota RAV4?
  • While most all roof racks will clear your factory panoramic moonroof on your 2024 Toyota RAV4 the manufacturers say to not open your panoramic roof when the rack is installed. This is because they cannot guarantee you will not have an issue on every vehicle. And certain roof rack accessories attach with components that hang below the crossbar. For this reason we always say you should not open the roof with the bars attached.

  • Troubleshooting Trailer Wiring Harness On A 2019 RAV4 Hybrid That's Causing Dash Warning Lights
  • Hi Stephen, The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56434 is a confirmed fit for your 2019 Toyota RAV4 so means that the unit could be faulty or that it was installed incorrectly. I recommend just going through the installation again and making sure you're connected to the correct plugs and that they are making full contact. Since this uses t-connectors you could also have a loose connection to factory wiring or the tail lights. A majority of the time it's a simple fix like this....
