Question:
I wanted to confirm that the trailer hitch #75235 is compatible with the 2018 Adventure series Rav 4. This hitch says compatible with all 2018 Rav 4 but since the Adventure model is brand new this year and is lifted an 1inch higher then normal Rav 4 and other off road capabilities. I see all the bolts are in the right place to mount, nit sure if rear bumper is the same configuration. either way wanted to know if you guys could give me piece of mind before i order this hitch that will work with this specific Rav. thanks.

Yes, I confirmed with our contacts at Draw Tite that the hitch part # 75235 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2018 Toyota RAV4 Adventure Series. I attached an install video for this hitch for you to check out as well.
For trailer wiring you'd then want the part # 118578 which is a confirmed fit as well. I attached an install video for this kit too. The Tekonsha brand harnesses are our most reliable options so they are what I recommend the most.
If you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.
If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
