What is a Trailer Hitch With the Highest Towing Capacity for a 2017 Toyota RAV4
Question:
I am considering: etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98864 for my RAV4, mostly because it seems to have the highest towing capacity out of the hitches listed. Besides price, are there any reasons you would recommend another hitch instead? Id also like to know your recommendations for a wiring harness, and what is the most common size ball? Thank you

Theetrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98864 trailer hitch will give you the highest towing capacity for your 2017 Toyota RAV4. This hitch has a matte black powder coat finish over a protective base coat, this offers superior rust resistance.
I also recommend the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118578. I recommend this wiring harness because of the success we have had when we install the Tekonsha Wiring Harness.
The most common size Hitch Ball is the 2". The Curt 2" Hitch Ball - 1" Diameter x 2-1/8" Long Shank # 63845 will give you 7500 lbs. weight capacity. Please keep in mind that the size of the ball you need will be determined by which one your trailer's coupler fits.
