Recommended Hitch and Trailer Wiring Harness for 2021 Toyota RAV4
Question:
Hi, about to buy a Rav4 HYBRID 2021 and notice nothing in your application system that denotes differences between Hybrid and Non Hybrid. Please verify as I know these vehicles are significantly different. Also concerned about a wiring hook up for lights. Thanks

I can confirm that a hitch like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C13416 will fit both the Hybrid and non-Hybrid versions of the 2021 Toyota RAV4 since the frames of the vehicles are the same. If you check out the attached installation video, it shows this hitch being installed on a 2020 model that is a hybrid.
For wiring, I recommend using the Curt Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # C56434, which is confirmed for use on both the hybrid and standard models. Curt wiring is known for the reliability of their powered converter box, which will help protect your vehicle from backfeed in the event of a short on the trailer.
I've linked installation videos of both of these parts for you to check out.
