A draw-bar is the same thing as a ball mount. The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C66KR has a 1-1/4" receiver. If you are pulling a trailer you will need the Draw-Tite Drawbar item # 3593 and then for hitch balls item # 19258 for a 2 inch ball or item # 19256 for a 1-7/8 inch ball.
If you are just dragging out old logs, then I recommend using the Curt Class II Euro Style Drawbar with 2" Ball - 3-1/4" Drop - 3,500 lbs item # C45582 because it will be easier to wrap a tow hook or chain around it.
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver item # C66KR is confirmed to fit your 2022 Toyota RAV4. It is custom fit and bolts to your Toyota with included hardware.
I have linked an installation video below.
If you are pulling a trailer you will want the Curt Wiring Harness item # C56434 to control the lights.
