Expert Answers about Toyota RAV4

• 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.

• Recommended Roof Rack For A 2023 Toyota RAV4 With A Thule Hullavator

• 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...

• 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...

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• Bent Trailer Hitch Installation Troubleshooting
• It is fairly common for this to happen, so don't worry! Sometimes the hitch can get bent or slightly warped during shipment, and it's not usually a cause for concern. I attached one of our help articles on this very topic which should help you get it straightened out and installed correctly. If you for some reason still can't get it installed, let me know and we can escalate the situation.

• Trailer Hitch For 2023 Toyota RAV4 With Best Ground Clearance For Bike Rack
• Hi Michelle; thanks for the question and going with the aftermarket hitch on your 2023 Toyota RAV4 is absolutely the right call. Two grand for a hitch is pretty insane, honestly, and the one with the best ground clearance is the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e23ZR. This hitch will be 9-1/2 inches from the bottom of the receiver to the ground. While not an immense amount, that will be plenty for your bike rack and bikes to stay off the ground, even on bumpy roads.

• 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....

• 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 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.
