The Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76201 and Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13416 that both fit a 2020 Toyota RAV4 are very much the same hitch, with only slight differences. That is the case a lot of times when it comes to trailer hitches but these two are particularly similar, from the install on the outside of your RAV4's frame rails, to the look it gives your Toyota.

There are basically two actual differences - first, the Curt trailer hitch is assembled in the USA while the Draw-Tite is not, and second, the Draw-Tite has a 4,500 lb towing capacity and 675 lb tongue weight capacity while the Curt has a 4,000 lb towing capacity and 600 lb tongue weight capacity. Since both hitches have towing capacities which exceed the max towing capacity of the RAV4 (3,500 lbs), this is one of those few times where my recommendation is going to be to go with the hitch that has the lower price point, because either hitch will do the job you need.

I have added links to video installs of both the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Receiver # 76201 and Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13416 for you to take a look at as well.
