Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2017 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid
Question:
We have a 2017 Toyota Hybrid Rav4 that we want to put a hitch on. Is there going to be a problem especially with wiring?

Expert Reply:
We have the etrailer hitch part # e98864 which is a fit for your 2017 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid and would fit and work well. Then for trailer wiring we also have the Tekonsha kit part # 118578 which will also fit the hybrid models 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.
