Your best option is the Curt hitch part # C13409 for your 2017 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. This is a 2 inch trailer hitch confirmed to fit your vehicle that has a concealed crosstube so it will be the least visible option you can find.

I attached a picture that shows just how hidden the hitch is.

For trailer wiring you'd then want the part # 118578 which is a confirmed fit 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.
