Recommended Trailer Hitch, Ball Mount, Trailer Ball and Trailer Wiring Harness for 2015 Toyota RAV4
Question:
Hi, I need a trailer hitch receiver for 2015 Toyota Rav4. I ed Curt Class II C12108. I also need a trailer hitch ball mount compatible with the above and compatible with V5 receiver ball size 1-7/8 on my existing trailer. Which ball mount do you recommend?
asked by: Gregory M
Expert Reply:
There are both Class II and III hitches available for a 2015 RAV4, but I'd recommend going with a Class III, because there is a much better selection of hitch mounted accessories available for the more common 2 inch Class III receiver. The Class III version, # C13149 is very similar in price, and would provide much more flexibility. I've linked an install video for you.
Since you'll be towing, you'll also need a wiring harness like # 118578. I've lilnked to an install video that will help walk you through the installation.
For a ball mount, if you go with the Class II # C12108 hitch option, I'd recommend # 36061 with the # 19257 1-7/8 inch trailer ball. If you wanted to go with the Class III # C13149 hitch, use the # 2753 ball mount with the # 19260 1-7/8 inch ball.
