Out of all the trailer hitches that are confirmed to fit your 2022 Toyota Venza I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e25AR. I like the etrailer hitch better than the other hitches that we offer because the etrailer hitch has a matte black coating that will help hide scratches and scuffs better that are caused by rocks and flying debris when hauling your bikes around. The other hitches have a gloss black coating that makes the scratches and scuffs more visible.

When it comes to adding a bike rack I recommend the Thule Hitching Post Pro # TH934XTR. I like this bike rack over the others because it holds the bike frames at three points which helps prevent sway and bike-to-bike contact. It also has a tilting mast that allows you easy access to your vehicle's rear cargo area. This bike rack can carry up to 4 bikes weighing up to 35 pounds per bike. For extra security the Thule Snug Tite Hitch Lock # THSTL2 will help keep your bike rack locked to the trailer hitch. If you're hauling a child's bike or a women's bike you will also need the Swagman Bike Frame Adapter Bar # 64005.

I linked an installation video on the etrailer trailer hitch being installed onto your exact vehicle. If you have any further questions please feel free to reach back out to me anytime and I will be more than happy to further assist you in your towing endeavors.
