The etrailer hitch part # e98864 is the best option we have for a trailer hitch for your 2017 Toyota RAV4 hybrid. What's great about this hitch is that it's the 2 inch size which means most bikes racks are for it, it has more than enough weight capacity than you'd need.
For a platform bike rack I really like the Saris Freedom Superclamp part # SA4025F. This is a lightweight platform rack (which is normally an unheard of combo). That means it'll be easy to install and remove from your vehicle since it's light, but also it'll be very easy to load bikes on since it's a platform rack.
This rack also only touches bikes at the tire so it protects any damage to delicate frame materials or finishes.
