I just got a new 2020 Toyota Rav4 and want to get a hitch to take my bikes with me, I'm not towing. What hitch do you recommend?

Congratulations on your new 2020 Toyota RAV4 and I have a great option for you to take your bikes and hit the trails, the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT82QR.
It's a class III hitch, so it has a 2" receiver tube opening, and will have more options when it comes to bike racks and other accessories to mount up. It has a 675 lb tongue weight, which will be more than enough to carry some bikes with you. Not to mention it looks really nice on the back of the Rav4, the receiver is the only thing visible once it's installed. So it has a really clean almost factory like appearance.
If you are looking for a bike rack I recommend the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR. This is one of my favorite racks, it's solidly built, easy to use and assemble, and a great value.
I linked a couple videos of when I installed the Draw-Tite hitch and the Hitching Post Pro in a similar RAV4, as well as the parts mentioned.
