Yes, the Curt hitch part # C13524 which fits your 2000 Toyota Rav4 is what you'd want. This has more than enough capacity to tow a trailer weighing up to 1,500 lbs but I also checked and your vehicle has a 1,500 lb towing capacity as well so it would work in that regard as well.
For trailer wiring then you'd want the Curt T-Connector part # C55486, which is easy to install and comes with a very reliable converter box.
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.
