What is Weight of etrailer.com Hitch # E98864

Question:

Hi, I am trying to choose a hitch for my 2006 Toyota Rav4 Sport 4-Cylinder. It has a Max Towing capacity of only 1500 lbs. For gas mileage efficiency, I would prefer to add minimum additional weight to the vehicle. Although a Class 2 1-1/4 hitch would be more than adequate, I am leaning towards a Class 3 hitch 2 due to the availability of more hitch and accessory options. Can you please tell me what the actual weight is of the hitch itself?

The total weight of the etrailer.com hitch part # E98864 is 34 lbs. For comparison purposes the Class I Curt hitch part # C12108 instead weighs 27 lbs. A 7 lb difference would not make any difference in fuel mileage and since the 2 inch hitch size has more accessories made for it this would be the way to go.
