Toyota RAV4 Trailer Hitch



Installation of a Trailer Hitch on a 2003 Toyota RAV4


Today on our 2003 Toyota RAV4, we'll be installing the Draw-Tite Hitch, part number 75125. This is what our hitch will look once it's installed. Next, we'll go ahead and give you a couple of measurements to assist you in selecting accessories for your new hitch. From the center of the hitch pin hole to the outermost edge of the spare tire is 10 inches. From the top of the receiver tube to the ground is 15-1/2 inches. This will assist you in selecting accessories such as a drawbar, a bike rack, or a cargo carrier.

Now, let's go ahead with the installation. Next, we'll go ahead and point our attachment points. Here are the two attachment points on the driver's side. It will be identical for the two attachment points on the passenger's side. Next, we'll go ahead and clean out the weld nuts.

To do this, well use a 1/2-inch nylon tube brush, part number 814092 and some spray lubricant. First, we'll spray that down and then clean out the weld nuts to break up any dirt, dust, and debris that might build up over time. All right, now that we have the weld nut cleaned out, I'll even go ahead and take one of the new bolts and thread it in to make sure it will go nice and easily. Once we complete this for all four weld nuts, we're ready to install the hitch. To install the hitch, we'll use the new hardware, the 12-mm bolt and a 1/2-inch conical toothed washer with the teeth of the washer facing the hitch.

All right, let's go ahead and put our hitch in place. We'll take all four fasteners and screw them in finger tight, and then we can go ahead and tighten them down. Next, we'll go ahead and torque each fastener to specifications as indicated in the instructions. And that completes the install of our Draw-Tite Hitch, part number 75125 on our 2003 Toyota RAV4.
