The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e23ZR would be a great choice for your 2021 Toyota RAV4 and is the hitch I would recommend. The ground clearance for this hitch is approximately 10" to the bottom of the receiver tube with 12-1/4" from the ground to the top inside edge of the receiver tube. The hitch weighs 38 lbs with an estimated installation time of 40 minutes.

If you're looking for a bike rack as well, I recommend the Thule Hitching Post Pro - Folding Tilting 4 Bike Rack w Anti-Sway - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # TH934XTR. This rack has a 4 bike carrying capacity with a weight capacity of 35 lbs per bike. It also features a tilting mast for easy access to the rear cargo area on your RAV4.

I have attached an installation video for the hitch so you can see what the process is like along with a review of the bike rack on a 2021 RAV4 for your reference.
