Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2019 Rav4 For Carrying E-Bike
Question:
Hi- We are getting ready to buy a 2019 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid Limited. We are looking for the best trailer hitch for a bike rack that is hidden, or mostly hidden. We will be getting 2 electric bikes, which weigh about 50 pounds each. We are looking for a good bike rack like the Yakima HoldUp 2-Bike Hitch Rack, or similar, that will be easier to load. I dont think we will be pulling any trailers, if we did it would be the small tear shape ones. Suggestions on the hitch and bike rack? Thanks,

For your 2019 Toyota RAV4 the Draw Tite hitch part # DT82QR is the hitch to get. It has more than enough capacity, and only has the hitch opening visible so it's mostly out of plain sight.
We have a bike rack that is ideal for your e-bike as the Thule EasyFold part # TH903202 which is designed for heavier e-bikes and can fit wheelbases up to 48 inches. This has a built in ramp too which makes loading and unloading easier. See review video link for more info on this rack as well.
