I recommend going with the Rhino-Rack 2 Kayak Carrier w/ Tie-Downs # S512-S512X. This can hold 1 or 2 kayaks and will take up much less room than using 2 individual kayak carriers, so you will have more spare room on your roof rack for other accessories. The weight capacity is 165lbs total, but you will want to make sure you do not exceed the weight limit of your roof and roof rack.
Everything is included for installing this onto your aero crossbars and using it with 2 kayaks. I attached... view full answer...
You can absolutely install a trailer hitch on your Hybrid model 2020 Toyota RAV4. I specifically recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13416, which is confirmed to fit the RAV4 Hybrid and offers the easiest install process. It will line right up to existing holes in the vehicle's frame rails for a simple bolt-on (no-drill) installation.
I have attached a full install video below that you can also follow along with.
I'm not sure what you plan on using the hitch for but I did go... view full answer...
We have several hitches available for your Toyota RAV4 but my pick is the Curt. It is part # C13146. This hitch has the nicest appearance when installed than the comparable etrailer # e23ZR. Curt uses a better looking reinforcement collar at the end of the receiver tube than the etrailer does.
Both of the hitches have an identical installation process and offer similar weight ratings that far exceed the weight limits of your RAV4 set by your manufacturer. They are very effective for recreational... view full answer...
For your 2012 Toyota Rav4 I would recommend the Derale transmission cooler part # D13503 as it is a larger cooler that fits the available area in front of your radiator well and is a more efficient design too so it would do an excellent job keeping your transmission fluid cooler which will prolong the life of it. view full answer...
You are right that a 2-inch Class III hitch is a better choice than a 1-1/4-inch size for use with a bike rack on the back of your 2005 Toyota Rav4. You will not only get higher tongue weight capacity from a Class III hitch but the 2-inch receiver size means more options in bike racks styles and features.
A rear-mounted spare tire can make bike rack selection more of a challenge but we do have solutions, and the linked articles will give you food for thought and help you consider your... view full answer...
We have a few different spare tire mount bike racks that are confirmed to fit your 2012 Toyota RAV4. I recommend the Thule SpareMe, # TH963PRO. Out of the options I like the versatility and appearance of the Thule SpareMe # TH963PRO the most so so that is why I recommend it for your RAV4. view full answer...
While we don't have any suspension enhancement components that fit your 2019 Toyota RAV4 at this time (September 2019) we have a better way to fight rear suspension sag from towing a heavier trailer. For that you'd want a weight distribution system. The hitches for your vehicle like the Draw Tite part # DT82QR are rated for weight distribution as well.
The big advantage a WD system has over suspension enhancement is that not only does it reduce sag, but it improves braking and handling... view full answer...
The second hitch pin hole on the etrailer hitch part # e98864 that you referenced is not used. One is smaller than the others. The smaller hole it not used. view full answer...
I was able to find a picture of your Toy Hauler and see the ladder that is on it from the factory. We have ladders that would work but they would not be an exact replacement. The part # LA-401 looks to be the closest one we carry to what is on your trailer but it would not perfectly match with what you have.
I attached a review video for you to check out for this ladder as well. view full answer...
All of the hitches that fit your 2021 Toyota RAV4 like the Curt # C13416 do have tech notes that state that the hands-free liftgate will possibly be affected with the hitch installed. This would be all the time when you'd go to use it and not just when a rack was installed in the hitch. We have found that most of the time you can just kick to the side of the hitch opening and it will still work. view full answer...
Yes, the factory hitch of your 2011 GMC Sierra 1500 will be a 2 inch hitch which is what the Hidden Hitch Ball Mount part # DT40201 was designed for.
I attached an FAQ article on picking out the correct rise/drop ball mount for you to check out also. view full answer...
I have a solution for you, but the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE2 2-Bike Platform Rack # HR1450Z that you referenced would not give you enough clearance to clear the rear spare on your 2011 Toyota RAV4.
For a platform rack that would work for you I would recommend the Thule T2 Bike Rack # TH9045. This rack has a distance of 18 inches from the pin hole to the wheel tray which would give you plenty of clearance for your spare tire. This rack is nice also in that it only touches the tires... view full answer...
For your 2009 Toyota RAV4, the 7-Way RV Upgrade Kit for Trailer Brake Controller Installation - 12 Gauge Wires # ETBC7L is the easiest option to install requiring you to only run a wire to your vehicle battery. Then you can use the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 which does not require any wiring into your vehicle. It is plug and play using Bluetooth and a mobile device. I've attached a couple videos to assist. view full answer...
The hitch I recommend for your 2020 Toyota RAV4 is the Curt hitch part # C13416 as it has plenty of towing capacity, the shortest listed install time, and has only the hitch tube visible below the rear bumper which gives it a more concealed look and helps with ground clearance.
Then for trailer wiring the easiest to install and most reliable option is the Curt part # C56434. I attached an install video link for this and the hitch I recommended as well.
Since you wanted to do some towing... view full answer...
The Curt hitch part # C13149 and the etrailer part # e98864 that fit your 2011 Toyota Rav4 are both very similar with the only noteworthy difference being that the etrailer has a black matte finish and the Curt has a glossy black finish.
Then for trailer wiring the best option is the Tekonsha kit part # 118412 as it installs the easiest and features the most reliable converter box.
For a ball mount kit then the # 989900 comes with a couple different rises/drops and hitch ball sizes as well. view full answer...
The hitch for your 2018 Toyota Rav4 that has the best ground clearance is the Curt part # C13406 as it sits the highest and also because only the hitch opening hangs below the rear bumper which means turning into an elevation change like a steep driveway would not be affected at all since the bumper would still be the lowest part of the rear of the vehicle at the sides of it. view full answer...
You will need to select a 2-inch hitch ball with a 1-inch diameter medium-length shank for use with Hidden Hitch Ball Mount # D-28. You can use Tow Ready 2-inch hitch ball # 63845. This ball has a 1-inch diameter shank of 2-1/8-inches in length and a rated capacity of 7500-lbs.
I have linked brief review videos for this ball mount and hitch ball.
If you wish to secure your ball mount to your hitch receiver we offer locks to do so, such as the etrailer.com Trailer Hitch Receiver Lock... view full answer...
You're going to need a swinging bike rack like this Thule Apex # TH9027XT. It will swing away just like your door does so you can do whatever you did before, but now with your bikes and rack on the vehicle. This is a perfect solution for a rear door like you have on your 2003 Toyota Rav 4. view full answer...
The best trunk mounted bike rack that fits your 2014 Toyota RAV4 is the Yakima FullBack part # Y02634 as it's the easiest to install, has a larger mounting pad so it spreads out weight of bikes and rack on the vehicle, has locks for both the bikes and the rack, and also has cradle straps that are easier to use. I attached a picture of this rack on a similar 2019 Rav4 as well as an install video link as well.

I recommend our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e23ZR for your 2024 Toyota RAV4. I prefer this receiver as is has the more common 2" opening and the matte black finish.
You will want to install the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56434 with the receiver. This will give you the commonly found 4-way flat connector in the event you will need to tow a small trailer. It can also be used for Auxiliary Lights # C53201 should you use a hitch mounted accessory which impairs the view... view full answer...
