  • Parts Needed To Add Curt Echo Trailer Brake Controller To a 2022 Toyota RAV4 With Factory 4-Way
  • As you already have the Curt Trailer Connector Adapter # C57672 to connect to the 4-way on your 2022 Toyota RAV4, the Curt Echo Wireless Trailer Brake Controller # C51180 only requires an additional charge line to be ran. For this you will need some 10 Gauge Wire # 10-1-1 to run to the battery. This wire is sold per foot so be sure to get enough for routing safely and away from rotating parts or exhaust to prevent damage to the wire. Cable Ties # DW05724-25 will work well to secure the...

  • Parts Needed to Switch a Thule WingBar Evo from a 2012 VW to a 2022 Toyota Rav4 w/ Flush Rails
  • It looks like you will most likely need new feet as well as the fit kit. From what I can find, most 2012 VW's with a bare roof used the Evo Clamp Feet for Thule Crossbars # TH710501. The fit kit for the 2022 Toyota Rav4 with flush mounted rails uses the Evo Fixpoint Feet for Thule Evo Crossbars # TH49SC.

  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow a 1996 Toyota RAV4 Behind an RV
  • In order to flat tow your 1996 Toyota RAV4, all wheel drive with manual transmission, I have found that you will need to have a transmission lube pump installed. For other towing requirements for your vehicle, be sure to consult the owners manual. There are several other components that are needed to flat tow a vehicle starting with base plates. Base plates provide a safe and secure attachment point for a tow bar. You can use XL Base Plates, # 1142-1. For a tow bar, you will need one that...

  • Recommended Roof Rack For Thule TH898 Hullavator Kayak Carrier on 2019 Toyota RAV4
  • In order for the Thule # TH898 Hullavator to be compatible with your RAV4, the crossbars would need to extend at least 4 inches beyond the foot that attaches the crossbar to the raised rails. Thule recommends the # TH710401 roof rack feet and the # TH711400 53 inch crossbars for your vehicle, but you'll need to take a measurement to see if those crossbars will be long enough. You'll need to measure the outside to outside distance of the raised rails on your roof. If this distance is 45...

  • 2023 Toyota RAV4 Wiring Needed for Thule Epos Bike Rack w/ Lights
  • The Thule Epos Bike Rack w/ Lights # TH49XE has a standard 4-Way flat connector (see attached) so you just need to install the Curt T-Connector # C56434 on your 2023 Toyota RAV4 for the lights to properly work. I also recommend picking up the Mounting Brackets # C42CR and # C57202 so you can mount the 4-Way plug near the receiver on your Draw-Tite Hitch # DT82QR for easy access.

  • Recommended Brake Controller and Trailer Wiring for 2009 Toyota RAV4
  • There is no one kit that includes the 4-pole harness you need along with the other brake controller installation parts but you have done a fine job of identifying the components you need. I would usually recommend the Curt harness # C56165 over the Tow Ready - its the same price and same install - because of its higher current output capacity. But if you already have it then it should work fine as long as your trailer lights do not demand more current than it can provide. An install video...

  • Is There an Adapter Needed to Use the Thule Spare Me with Mountain Bikes
  • The Thule Spare Me # TH963PRO doesn't require any adapter for mountain bikes. The only adapter you need is a frame adapter bar like the Kuat Ubar # UB01. This is used to create the horizontal top cross tube on bikes that don't have one like a women's bike. It creates the contact point for a hanging rack and helps keep a bike level.

  • Parts Needed to Use a Brake Controller in a 2011 Toyota Rav4 with 4-way Connector Present
  • You are already on the correct track. In order to install a 7-way on your 2011 Toyota Rav4 you have to have a 4-way installed first. Since you already have a 4-way you can use the Universal Installation Kit for Trailer Brake Controller # ETBC7 to adapt your 4-way into a 7-way. You would still want to run the second power wire to the battery. The wire for the 4-way is only 10-amp while the 7-way wire is 40-amp and they are serving different purposes. I also recommend picking up the Curt...

  • Tow Dolly for Towing 2011 Toyota RAV 4 Behind Motorhome
  • FWD models of the RAV4 can be successfully dolly towed. Given the weight of your RAV4, the Demco # DM9713045 Kar Kaddy SS you'd looked at would be the best choice. The dolly features hydraulically actuated disc brakes for exceptional braking performance. The surge brake system eliminates the need for a brake controller makes the dolly easier to use. I've linked to a product demonstration video for the Kar Kaddy SS tow dolly.
