Differences Between the Draw-Tite and Curt Trailer Hitches for a 2020 Toyota RAV4
Question:
Wanting to install a 2" hitch on my 2020 RAV4 but not sure if I should go with the Draw-Tite or Curt hitch. Are there any differences and which one do you recommend?

Expert Reply:
There is a slight bow to the Draw-Tite # DT82QR cross tube where the Curt # C13416 has a straight cross tube. Draw-Tite also has slightly higher weight ratings but since the weight ratings of your 2020 Toyota RAV4 are under both of the trailer hitch ratings that really isn't a factor at all.
I recommend going with the Curt because they tend to have better welding and a thicker powder coat which promotes a longer life for the trailer hitch. Attached is an installation video and some pictures of the Curt installed on a '19 RAV4 so you can get an idea of what the trailer hitch will look like on your vehicle.
If you let me know what you plan on using the trailer hitch for I can make additional recommendations if necessary.
