We have the Curt hitch part # C13406 as a confirmed fit for your 2016 Toyota RAV4 LE which i recommend. It's the easiest to install, has a concealed crosstube which allows it to be a bit more hidden and helps with ground clearance. It also has plenty of towing capacity as well at 350 lbs tongue weight and 3,500 lbs total trailer weight.

The Curt Hitch # C13406 is definitely the better option over # C13149 in terms of ground clearance. The receiver on this model will sit pretty snug against the bottom of the bumper, while the 2" receiver on the # C13149 (along with the entirety of the crosstube) sits a bit lower with a small gap between it and the bumper fascia. If you are worried about scrapping the pavement down the driveway the Curt # C13406 is absolutely the way to go.
