Trailer Hitch Receiver For 2021 Toyota RAV4 XSE That Does Not Require Fascia Trimming  

Question:

Toyota does not offer a hitch for the Rav4 that has the XSE package because a rear valance hangs too low to clear a hitch. Can you recommend an aftermarket 2 inch receiver that will clear this valance without having to cut it? The SUV is bran new and I hate to cut on this trim piece. I understand egress angle will decrease but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make. This is for a bike rack only, not towing. We have no other way to haul our bikes.

There is indeed trailer hitch receiver that fits your 2021 Toyota RAV4 XSE and does not require any trimming of the fascia whatsoever. The hitch that will work for you is from Draw-Tite:

- Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver # DT82QR

This is a 2 inch hitch like you were wanting, and I verified that no fascia trimming is needed for your RAV4. I also added a cut out of a customer review which mentions they put this hitch on their RAV4 XSE and no fascia trimming was needed (though they mentioned their RAV4 XSE is a '20 model, it is the exact same configuration as your '21 RAV4 XSE).
