Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid
Question:
I want a hitch for my 2017 Toyota Rav4 Limited hybrid. I need help in choosing the appropriate hitch for the vehicle.

Expert Reply:
There are a few trailer hitch options for the 2017 Toyota Rav4. All the available systems are confirmed to fit the Hybrid models as well.
I recommend the Curt Class III Round Tube Receiver Hitch # C13149. This is a 2 inch receiver opening with a 525 lb tongue weight capacity that is custom fit for your RAV4 Hybrid.
If you are looking to tow with your trailer hitch, I also recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56350. This harness is custom fit for your vehicle and will plug directly into existing wiring to provide the 4-way flat trailer connector needed to power your trailer's rear lights.
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.

I have a 2018 rav4 hybrid SE and I was wondering what would be the best hitch price wise and fit for towing a PWC?

13149 does not bolt up to 2018 Rave4 Hybred Limited. I just sent on back to Amazon. When you see instructions it said not electric!
