Helpful Expert Reply:
Since the Curt # C13149 Class III trailer hitch you referred to is a fit for 2006 to present RAV4 models, I'll assume yours falls within that range of model years.
The tow hook, if present, is on the driver's side frame rail just forward of the rear bumper. It must be removed in order to install the hitch.
I've provided a photo of the tow hook, and included a link to the install video for the Curt # C13149 hitch.
