Comparing Curt Trailer Hitches for 2018 Toyota RAV4
Question:
Which Curt hitch is better for my 2018 Toyota RAV4?
asked by: Reno
Expert Reply:
Curt has the part # C13406 which is the winner in my opinion for your 2018 Toyota RAV4 since it has a concealed cross tube which will give you the most concealed look. It also has great towing capacities at 3,500 lb trailer weight and 350 lb tongue weight. The Curt hitch part # C13149 is a great hitch too, but it will be much more visible than the # C13406.
For trailer wiring you'd then want the T-One kit part # 118578 which is a custom fit and our most reliable option.
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.
