Expert Answers about Toyota RAV4
- Best Available Hidden Hitch for 2017 Toyota RAV4
- I have a solution for you to add a hitch with a hidden cross tube on your 2017 Toyota RAV4, but the Draw-Tite hitch you were looking at is not a confirmed fit on your vehicle. The best solution for a hidden style hitch is the EcoHitch # 306-X7219, which will mount completely behind your bumper and leave only the hitch receiver visible. It sits up a little higher and installs a bit differently than the other available hitches with concealed cross tubes, so it's going to do a much better...

- If your pop-up camper trailer does not have electric brakes or require a 12V power feed from the RAV4 then it will likely have a 4-pole flat type trailer connector. If so you can use a 4-pole type wiring harness that provides only lighting signals for brake lights, turn lights and running lights.
Both of the available 4-pole wiring harnesses for your 2008 RAV4 are powered types, Curt # C56165 and TowReady # 118412, that do require a 12V power wire be run up to the battery's positive...

view full answer... - Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for a 2012 Toyota RAV4
- The Curt trailer wiring harness # C56165 as well as the Tow Ready harness # 118412 are T-connectors that plug in line with the vehicle tail lights, if that is what you mean by direct connect. Both harnesses are custom made to fit the 2012 Toyota RAV4. You cannot use the harness for a different year (the above items fit back to 2006) because they will not work.
Either harness is going to require a direct connection to the battery to power the trailer lights. This protects the vehicle wiring...
view full answer... - Size of Hitch Extenders Available for a 2 Inch Hitch
- The reason that the manufacturers do not make a shorter hitch extender is mainly because the market for a extender of a very short length is very limited. After researching the market for hitch extenders they have decided that the short (7 or 8 inches) and long (14 or 18 inches) sizes will hopefully cover most of the market.
The hitch extenders are a limited market because when using an extender you do reduce the tongue weight on your hitch by 50 percent. For example, if the hitch capacity...

The hitches we offer for your 2016 RAV4 Hybrid, all shown on the linked page, cost a lot less than what you were quoted. These aftermarket hitches are every bit as strong as reliable as those provided by auto makers and in many cases they are the same product just unbranded.

I recommend a 2-inch Class III hitch like the Curt # C13149 for its higher capacity (and safety margin) and for its generally better compatibility with a broad range of hitch-mount accessories like bike and cargo carriers.
Hitch installation requires mostly basic mechanical skills and hand tools. The only specialized tool needed...

view full answer... - Class III Ball Mount with 6-Inches of Rise for Use with 2012 Toyota RAV4
- For a Class III ball mount with 6-inches of rise use part # C45090 from Curt. We do not have one with the exact 5-1/4-inches you want but that small difference will not matter.
You are correct that you want your trailer to be as level as possible to help minimize sway. Careful loading (to maintain a tongue weight of 15-percent of gross trailer weight) will also help.
