Question:

For your 2018 Toyota RAV4 hybrid we have the etrailer.com hitch part # e98864 that's a confirmed fit and would work well. This a 2 inch hitch with plenty of towing capacity at 3,500 lb trailer weight and 525 lb tongue weight.
For trailer wiring you'd then want the # 118578 which is a custom fit harness confirmed to fit your vehicle. I attached an install video for this kit for you to check out as well.
Since 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.
