Trailer Hitch and Trailer Wiring Harness Recommendation for 2020 Toyota RAV4 Adventure
Question:
I have a 2020 Toyota RAV4, the adventure model. I need a hitch for my 2 inch bike rack and trailer wiring with the other accessories for towing that I might need. What is suggested?

Expert Reply:
The two hitches available for your 2020 Toyota RAV4, the Curt # C13416 and Draw-Tite # DT82QR are just about identical visually with very similar capacities. They would install in the same manner with similar procedures. Both hitches are pretty much on par with each other quality-wise, but the Curt powder coat typically looks a little better and is a bit more durable over time than that of the Draw-Tite # DT82QR. If I had to choose, I'd go with the Curt model but you could choose either without feeling like you've made the wrong decision. Both hitches are compatible with your RAV4 Adventure.
For a trailer wiring harness, you'll need part # C56434 and a # C45070 ball mount. For a 1-7/8 inch trailer ball use # 19260 or # 63845 for a 2 inch. For a hitch pin, use # PC3.
I've linked you to installation videos for the hitches and wiring harness mentioned above.
