Out of the Class II Draw-Tite # 36675 and Class III Draw-Tite # DT82QR trailer hitches I recommend using the Class III # DT82QR for your 2020 Toyota RAV4 simply because it has a bigger 2" receiver and it is a stronger hitch altogether. This means that you'll be able to use a wider variety of accessories, bike racks in your case, than if you were to go with the Class II hitch which has a smaller 1-1/4" receiver.

If you don't already have a bike rack then I recommend using the Thule Apex XT # TH9024XT because it is a high-end bike rack (which comes with a limited lifetime warranty) with a great price. The different features are easy to use and best parts are the bike/rack locks as well as the rotating cradles that accommodate various bike sizes. The only other thing you might need is the Adapter Bar # TH982XT and that is if any of your bikes don't have a horizontal top tube which would allow the bike to sit level on the rack.

Attached is an installation video of the trailer hitch, some sample pictures so you can get an idea of what it looks like installed, as well as a review video of the bike rack so you can see the various features it comes with.
