My 2005 Toyota RAV4 base has a tow rating of 1500 lbs, so I don’t need a super heavy duty hitch receiver for it. Would a smaller one work fine? I plan on towing a 850 lbs uhaul trailer, but everything I’m seeing seems to be overkill compared to my tow capacity

I have a 2017 Jeep Cherokee 4x4 v6 with the active drive II. It has a hitch, I believe aftermarket 2 inch, already on it and I believe it to be aftermarket because it’s not on the build sheet. It has an aux transmission oil cooler and the engine cooler and a trailer sway damping which I thought were all things that would come with a tow package and yet the hitch definitely is not on the build sheet. I want to tow a pop up what else do I need since the hitch is already on and how do I know if this hitch is OK? The former owners took really good care of it it only had 40,000 miles on it and the build sheet is unbelievable with all the extras I just don’t understand why they wouldn’t just put the factory hitch on it along with everything else lol ... I was told that the reason It had such low miles was because they actually towed it behind an RV more than they actually drove it ..,anything you can help me with so that I can get a pop-up hooked up to this baby and start my camping excursions would be wonderful thank you!! Ps I do not have the pop-up yet by the way.

Thanks for this! Having the right equipment and tools for towing is essential in towing any trailer but it's not enough that you have the equipment for a towing trip. You should also have sufficient knowledge on what to do with your vehicle and your equipment. Most people interchange towing capacity and payload capacity which might be a potential hazard for you. Towing Capacity = Amount you can pull Payload Capacity = Amount you can carry. Have a safe trip!

I have a 2018 Jeep GC without the tow package. I am 95% certain I have the wiring harness pre-sintalled (got Jeep in Nov 2017, and they stopped adding the wiring harness mid 2018). I have got the hitch receiver, and the ball/mount needed. what else would be needed. I will be towing a camper with brakes. I got the wireless brake system that goes into the 7 way connector from my camper dealership. I am thinking I would just need the 7 way adapter that I would plug the camper into, on top of the hitch receiver, and pre-installed wiring harness?

I recently installed a Curt 57000 to my rear bumper, close to where the factory harness allowed me to connect. I am a little worried that it's too far off-center for future connections with common types of trailers. Is this something to worry about or am I ok? It's 1-1.5 feet from the hitch receiver (looking at the back of the truck, it's on the right hand (passenger side).
