Hitch for Thule T2 Pro XT with Toyota 2018 RAV4 XLE

Question:

Thule specifies the following minimums: Pin Hole to receiver face: 1.125 Pin Hole to back of receiver: 2.5 Pin Hole to rear of bumper: 6.3 Will Curt Receiver #13149 work with this rack on a 2018 Toyota RAV4 XLE? If not, do you have a rack that will work? Is there somewhere on the web where I can look up these dimensions for your racks? Please let me know. Many thanks in advance

Yes, the Curt 2' Hitch Receiver # C13149 is compatible with the Thule T2 Pro XT.

Curt uses a standard 2' distance from Pin Hole to receiver face which exceeds Thule's 1.125' minimum. It also features an open backside so there is no Pin Hole to Back of receiver measurement. On your 2018 RAV4 the pin hole is only 3-3/4' from your bumper which is well below the 6.3' of bumper clearance this rack provides (see photo).

I included an installation video for this hitch as a reference, but there is not a page that lists these specific dimensions.
