Will Tekonsha Wiring Fit a 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime
Question:
Is there a technical reason why you dont list the Tekonsha trailer wiring harness as an option for the 2021 Rav4 Prime? Thank you

Expert Reply:
Both the Curt # C56434 and the Tekonsha # 118801 wiring will fit a 2021 Toyota RAV4 Prime, but right now (July 2023) the Tekonsha wiring is in a state of "limbo" as the parent company of Tekonsha was bought out earlier this year and everything is undergoing transitions.
While we don't have a time-stamp for when the Tekonsha wiring will be back online, I can say that the Curt wiring is perfectly capable of safely and efficiently accomplishing the same goal as the Tekonsha alternative - to activate your trailer lights.
The Curt option tees in behind your tail lights and then draws power via your vehicle battery through the included power lead as you can see in the linked installation video of this kit on a 2021 RAV4.
