Helpful Expert Reply:
The best trailer hitch receiver for carrying bikes that fits your 2021 Toyota RAV4 Limited Hybrid is the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76201.
The reason for that is because it has the best ground and bumper clearance for a bike rack compared to the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13416, and an easier install and less expensive than the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # EH97FR.
The Draw-Tite is an easy bolt-on installation with no drilling required for your RAV4 and has a 2" trailer hitch receiver so you have the most options to get a high-quality bike rack like the Yakima HoldUp # Y02443 or Kuat Sherpa 2.0 # SH22B.
I have added photo of a Toyota RAV4 Limited Hybrid with the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76201 installed so you can see what it will look like on your car.

Thanks for a great informative video. The RAV4 Limited - Hybrid I intend to put the CURT 2" hitch receiver on has a foot sensor which activates and opens the rear hatch. Will, or how much will the installation of this hitch effect the hit from operating using your foot. Thank you. 123791
Most customers with a rear gate sensor report that they find a sweet spot around the hitch where your foot can activate the sensor. If you can't find a spot you will have to look into a sensor relocation kit. 81591
