Does The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver e98864 Fit A 2016 Toyota RAV4 SE?

Question:

Same experienced from toyota parts that Toyota rav4 2016 SE version were not designed for this. However, you were saying that you have the mounts or the assembly that would fit in so I can install my tule bike rack. Would it require drilling or welding to install it underneath? Share me your thoughts on this. Thank you.

I can definitely understand the confusion.

The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # e98864 you were looking at was made to fit all models of the 2016 Toyota RAV4, including your 2016 Toyota RAV4 SE model.

The # e98864 will not require any drilling or welding, and will bolt up directly to the existing mounting holes in your frame. You will need to temporarily lower the exhuast.

As long as your Thule bike rack is for a 2" hitch it will fit perfectly in the # e98864.

I included a video of the # e98864 being installed on a 2016 Toyota RAV4 SE for you to take a look at.
