Trailer Hitch and Wiring Recommendation for 2018 Toyota RAV4
Question:
I will be towing a small trailer with my 2018 Toyota RAV4 so I need a hitch and wiring, what should I get?

Expert Reply:
For your 2018 Toyota RAV4 the best hitch we offer is the etrailer hitch part # E98864 for towing a small trailer. I recommend it because it has great towing capacities, has a great price, is easy to install, and has a concealed cross tube which makes it less visible.
For trailer wiring you'd then want the Tekonsha kit part # 118578. I recommend this kit because this is our most reliable option we have for your vehicle.
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.
