Expert Answers about Toyota RAV4


  • Hitch Bike Rack That Swings For Hatch Clearance On A 2003 Toyota Rav 4
  • 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.

  • Best Trunk-Mounted Bike Rack For 2019 Toyota RAV4
  • For your 2019 Toyota RAV4 I recommend looking into the Yakima FullBack trunk bike rack. For a 2-bike carrier go with # Y02634 and for a 3-bike carrier go with # Y02633. This bike rack offers the most bang for your buck. It has integrated locks to secure the bikes to the carrier and also secure the bike rack to the trunk of your RAV4. There is also a handy bottle opener built into the left arm which is a cool feature. Both carriers are very lightweight at only 21lbs each. The carrier uses...

  • Roof Cargo Basket and Hitch Cargo Carrier for 2021 Toyota RAV4
  • For a roof tray/basket that fits your 2021 Toyota RAV4 with factory installed raised rails you'd want the part # RR76QX or if you have the flush mounted rails we have the part # RR36QX. But if you had a set of crossbars already you could use the etrailer cargo basket part # e98914 which would fit them directly. For a hitch cargo carrier the first thing you'd need is a hitch (if not present) which for that the Curt # C13416 would be a great option. Then for a 20 inch by 59 inch carrier...

  • The Curt Forged Ball Mount is offered for both 2-1/2" and 2" hitches. The part # C45456 is for 2-1/2" hitches and the part # C45340 is for 2" hitches. These both provide the same 2" drop.

  • Mounting A 7-pin And 4-pin Connector To My 2018 Toyota RAV-4
  • We can definitely get you setup for towing. This will be a two step process. You will have to install a 4-way connector first, then you would install the 7-pin connector. My first recommendation is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector, part # 118578. The nice thing about this wiring harness is that it is plug and play, meaning that you will not have to splice any wires to get this installed. It will just plug into your existing lighting, simplifying some of...

  • Is Jack FTJ120W0301 a Good Choice for K2 Utility Trailer
  • The # FTJ120W0301 that you referenced would do a great job on your K2 Mighty Utility Trailer. It's a really solid jack with a dual wheel setup that's also easy on price too so if this is the type of jack you are wanting it would be the right call.

  • Electric Bike Rack And Hitch Options For 2011 Toyota Rav4
  • Trunk-mounted bike racks do not have the weight capacity to hold an electric bike, most only have a weight capacity of around 30lbs per bike. The best option here would be to install a receiver hitch; there are many bike rack options available if you go this route. For your 2011 Toyota Rav4, I recommend the CURT Class 3 Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13149. This has a max weight capacity of 3,500lbs and max tongue weight of 525lbs, which is more than enough for any bike carriers. If you would...

  • Recommended 4 Bike Platform Rack for 2020 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid with OEM 2 Inch Hitch Receiver
  • For the 2 inch receiver on your 2020 Toyota RAV4, I recommend the Saris MTR 4 Bike Platform Rack # SA4032-34. This rack holds your bikes securely by the wheels, with no frame contact, which is ideal for e-bikes or heavy bikes (like your Trek bike), carbon-frame bikes, or specialty bikes, like your kids full suspension bike. One of the features I like most is that this rack can be converted to a 2-bike rack by simply removing the tray. Below are some important specs to keep in mind: Weight...

  • Best Value Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for 2016 Toyota RAV4
  • For a great priced trunk bike rack that fits your 2016 Toyota RAV4 the Malone Hanger part # MPG2139 is the way to go as it's the best value and fits great as well. The Thule racks aren't listed as a fit so I would not recommend trying one but this rack will fit and work really well.

  • Transmission Cooler Recommendation for 2017 Toyota RAV4
  • I wish I could say yes, but your Rav4 uses a cartridge style oil filter that the # D15902 won't work with. I wish we had a similar setup that works with your style of oil filter but we do not. For just a transmission cooler though we have the Derale part # D13503 that would work well. Typically engine oil filters aren't needed or recommended for newer vehicles anyway. In most cases the cooling system for the engine is more than adequate and the oil coolers only end up lowering oil pressure...

  • Can Trailer Wheel AM23318HWT Be Ordered With A Tire Mounted?
  • I have another option for you, but unfortunately all of the wheel and tire combinations we offer are mounted by the manufacturer and we do not have the equipment in house to mount the tires. Instead you would need to get the Aluminum HWT Series S5 Trailer Wheel - 12" x 4" Rim - 4 on 4 # AM22318HWT you were looking at and the tire of your choice separately and have a local tire shop mount them for you. If the tire size you are looking for is 145R12 we do have the Kenda KR25 Radial Trailer...

  • How Much Do Trailer Hitches For 2023 Toyota RAV4 Weigh?
  • For your 2023 Toyota RAV4 there is 3 class 3 2" receiver options with the following weights: Curt # C13416 at 39lbs etrailer # e23ZR at 39lbs Eco-Hitch # EH97FR at 47lbs and 2 class 2 1-1/4" receiver options with the following weights: Curt # C66KR at 36lbs Draw-Tite # 36675 at 34lbs. All of the capacities are so close that I would 100% go with a 2" receiver as it's really the best for any use due to most accessories on the market being made for a 2" receiver, and out of the brands...

  • What Size Wire Gauge Should be Used to Extend the Power Wire for Trailer Wiring Harness # C56166
  • Typically, routing the power wire on the inside of the vehicle uses up more wire than routing it underneath. But either way you still need some extra wire so lets look at what you will need. You could get away with using a larger gauge, especially over such a short distance. But I would go ahead with some 12 gauge wire like # 12-1-1, sold in increments of 1 foot.

  • Can Trailer Axle Hub Face to Hub Face Dimension Have an Additional Inch When Replacing
  • The biggest dimension to have matched up is the spring seat to seat dimension so that the axle can bolt up properly. If the hub face to face dimension is longer it may not be a problem but you would have to consider having 1/2 an inch of less fender clearance. If that's not an issue then it wouldn't be a problem to use the part # 20545I-EZ-60-15.

  • Hitch Recommendation For A 2015 Toyota RAV4 XLE
  • Depending on what you want to use the hitch for will determine which hitch will be the right one for you. I linked an article to help you in deciding which hitch is right for your application. I recommend a Class III hitch for your Toyota because the 2-inch receiver open will give you more options for accessories to choose to haul with your RAV4. The Curt Round Tube Receiver Class III Hitch # C13149 is the hitch that I would recommend for your application. The Curt hitch is made in the...

  • Best Hitch and Wiring for a Cargo Carrier with Lights on a 2021 Toyota Rav4
  • The hitch that I recommend for your 2021 Toyota Rav4 to use a hitch mounted cargo carrier is going to be the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e23ZR. This hitch is made in the USA, has a bolt-on, no-drill installation and will provide you with a 2" receiver opening which is the most common size used for hitch mounted accessories such as a cargo carrier. This hitch also has a nice matte black finish that provides a nicer look when installed on your Rav4. The wiring I recommend for your...

  • How To Install a 7-Way Trailer Connector and Brake Controller On a 2017 Toyota RAV4
  • In order to install a seven way trailer connector and brake controller on a 2017 Toyota RAV4 (All Models) you'll need to start with a four way, the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector part # 118578 which is plug-in-play. This can then be adapted to a seven way using the 4 to 7-Way with 4-Way Adapter part # ETBC7L. It will then have everything you need as well to install the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller part # C51180 which is the far better route...

  • Is There a Trailer Hitch for a 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime
  • Yes, the trailer hitch options for a 2021 Toyota RAV4 will fit the Prime models. I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13416 which is a direct bolt-on fit. It is very easy to install and provides the larger 2" receiver tube so you'll have a greater capacity for towing and much greater selection of bike racks and cargo carriers to choose from. I installed this hitch on a 2020 model, see video below, which will be the same as a 2021 though it is not a Prime.
