I recommend installing the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13406 on your 2015 Toyota RAV4 because this features a hidden crosstube so that you have a really clean look with only the receiver showing, plus it has a really high-quality build.

This will allow you to install ant bike rack that is compatible with a 2" hitch receiver. The (discontinued) Prorack PR8062404 will work as well as any Kuat bike rack with a 2" shank (see attached) like the Kuat NV 2.0 # NV22B-NA22B.

I recommend going with a Kuat rack over the Prorack simply because the Prorack is an entry-level style of rack that you would only really use if you have more cost-effective bikes or you only plan on using the bike rack every once in a while.
