Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2016 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid

Question:

Im in search of a trailer hitch and the necessary wiring kit to enable me to tow a trailer. I think Im going to get the C13149 hitch. Can you confirm this fits my 2016 Rav 4 XLE hybrid? Im having trouble finding which wiring kit I should get for the hybrid. Can you please help? Thanks,

For your 2016 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid the Curt hitch part # C13149 that you referenced is a confirmed fit and would work well for towing a trailer. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.

If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.

For trailer wiring you would need the part # 119250KIT as well.
