Features to know about

Get More Utility Out of Your Vehicle

You don't need a heavy-duty truck to get out there with your gear. With 3,500 lbs of towing capacity and 350 lbs of tongue weight, this hitch is built for everyday use. It's right at home carrying a cargo tray for a weekend trip, taking bikes out to the trailhead, or even hauling a small trailer to the hardware store. The 2" receiver is what most racks, trays, and ball mounts are designed for, so chances are the gear you already have (or the gear you want) will slide right in. You shouldn't have to hunt for an adapter to make your accessory work. And it's Class III, which means it's strong enough for regular use, not just occasional hauling.

Custom Installation

This hitch bolts directly to the frame using included hardware and the tools most folks already have in the garage. There's no need to drill into the vehicle or weld anything in place, and you won't be cutting up the bumper just to make it fit. It's designed for a simple install whether you're putting it on yourself or having a shop handle it. If you'd rather not DIY, we can help you find a local installer using our dealer locator.

Tested and Proven

This hitch meets SAE J684 standards, so it's been tested to handle its rated capacity under real towing conditions. You may not spend time thinking about certifications, but they matter when you're pulling weight. This one covers strength, performance, and structural integrity, so you're working with something that's actually been proven, not just claimed.

The tow hitch looks great, easy installation took me about 40 minutes without putting the muffler down. The only downside was that it was harder to torque the bolts because there was not a lot of space.

2024 Toyota RAV4

Purchased this hitch for a 2024 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid XLE. The hitch came in a couple of days. I am a beginner to car work, however, I rented the floor jack, jack stand, 19mm socket wrench, torque wrench, 19mm crowsfoot attachment from a local tool library to perform install myself. Install was straightforward. It helped greatly to lower the exhaust out of the way and have a second person to hold the hitch in place when attaching the bolts. Install video was very helpful. Fit great! Plan to use it for a bike or flat shelf rack.

Easy install on 2024 RAV4 Hybrid. Just 4 bolts, the passenger side needs a 19mm rachet wrench to tighten. Took about an hour by myself.

Toyota RAV4

I installed this on a 2023 Rav4 Prime. Fit perfectly and only took about half an hour to install. You do need to remove the passenger side tiedown bracket if your car still has it but that was my only issue in installation. The only problem I have with it is that my hitch fits a little sloppy and this does not have the extra ring around the end of it making it impossible for me to use my CURT 22325 No-Tool Anti-Rattle Hitch Clamp with it. I might weld a piece on it so I can use the clamp.

Very easy to install.

My item was delivered fast and product fit perfectly. Would definitely buy again here.

  • Is There A Video Of The Trailer Mate TMT54FR Being Installed On A 2021 Toyota RAV4?
    Hi Mykal! Though I can say the Trailer Mate Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # TMT54FR will fit your 2021 Toyota RAV4, we haven't had the chance to do an install with one for this hitch yet. However, we did recently shoot one with the Blue Ox # BLU43UR that is nearly identical to the Trailer Mate, so I included that video. It's only four bolts for the install, so it is on the short side. : ) What are you planning on using the hitch for?

  • Comparing Trailer Mate Hitches To EcoHitch And etrailer For 2024 RAV4 Prime
    Dana, it comes down to budget, capacity needs, and clearance when looking at hitch options for your 2024 RAV4 Prime. The Trailer Mate 2" Hitch # TMT54FR is the most affordable of the bunch and still gives you a clean, concealed look with 3,500 lbs towing and 350 lbs tongue weight, ideal for bike racks, cargo carriers, and small trailers. The etrailer hitch # e84ZV bumps tongue weight to 675 lbs and has a slightly tougher finish, while EcoHitch # EH97FR goes up to 750 lbs and tucks in...

  • How Difficult Is Installing Hitch By Yourself On 2020 Toyota RAV4?
    Mark, the Trailer Mate 2" Hitch # TMT54FR is one of the simpler installs you’ll find. You’ll peel back a couple of stickers to access the factory weld nuts, possibly remove the passenger-side tie-down loop, and bolt the hitch up with the supplied hardware. No drilling, no trimming, and no welding. I've attached a demo video of the curt hitch install process, which is going to be the same exact install for the Trailer Mate since it's made by Curt. If you have a helper or a floor jack to...

  • Will Trailer Mate Hitch On 2024 RAV4 XLE Hybrid Block Hands Free Trunk Sensor?
    Kyle, with most aftermarket hitches, including the Trailer Mate # TMT54FR, the center “kick” spot might get fussier, but you can still trigger the liftgate by kicking slightly to the left or right of the receiver. It’s a quick adjustment you’ll get used to after a couple tries. Do you use the hands-free feature often, or is it more of a nice-to-have for you? And for anyone else running a RAV4 with a hitch, where’s your magic sensor spot now? Sharing your tips could save Kyle and others...

  • Ground Clearance Concerns - Will Hitch And Bike Rack Scrape On Driveway With 2025 RAV4 Prime
    Hannah, you’re in good shape here. The Trailer Mate # TMT54FR for your 2025 RAV4 Prime sits up close to the bumper with a concealed cross tube, so you keep solid ground clearance, comparable to many of the common hitches for this vehicle. This receiver opening has a distance of about 10-1/4" inches from the very bottom of the receiver tube to the ground. Unless your driveway has a sharp breakover, you shouldn’t be scraping. If you want reassurance, check your bike rack’s shank rise and...

  • How Does Trailer Mate Hitches By Curt Hold Up In Northern Winters With Road Salt?
    Ron, the Trailer Mate Trailer Hitch Receiver 2" # TMT54FR by Curt has a two-layer defense: a durable powder coat over a liquid A-coat that seals inside and out. That layered protection resists moisture, salt, and road grime well. Like any hitch, it’s smart to rinse it after salty drives and touch up chips promptly. Are you planning to keep the hitch on year-round or swap it seasonally? Readers in snowy states, how’s your hitch holding up after a few winters? Your feedback could give Ron...

  • Can 2023 RAV4 Tow A 1,200lb Trailer? What Is The Towing Capacity?
    Sharon, you’re well within the Trailer Mate’s # TMT54FR 3,500-lb towing and 350-lb tongue weight ratings. Keep in mind the RAV4 towing capacities range anywhere from 1500-3500 lbs based on trim and packages, so you'll want to check your owner's manual or check with Toyota so you don't overload your RAV! All that being said, you will have a great setup for your 1,200-lb trailer setup. It’s marketed as a budget-friendly option for everyday gear, but it’s still fully capable of light towing...

  • Is 2022 RAV4 Hitch From Trailer Mate Strong Enough For 4 Bike Rack?
    Ben, the Trailer Mate’s # TMT54FR 350-lb tongue weight rating is plenty for most 4-bike racks, provided you’re not overloading with heavy 100lb e-bikes. Standard adult or kids’ bikes usually fall well within the limit, and even a couple ebikes too. Just weigh your rack and bikes to be sure - tongue weight is the hitch’s “pressure down” limit. Another thing to mention is that the vehicle also has a tongue weight limit that can't be exceeded so I'd check your RAV's owner's manual. Also, upgrading...

  • Does Trailer Mate 2" Receiver Need Curt Stabilizing Strap For Bike Rack On 2025 Toyota RAV4?
    Chris, Curt recommends using a stabilizing strap for all non-trailer loads on some class 1 1-1/4" receivers, but for the 2" receivers like the Trailer Mate # TMT54FR, you won't need to worry about that strap. What type of bike rack do you have? If you don't have one, let me know and I'll find one that suits your needs. The good thing about the 2" receiver is that it's compatible with many more accessories than a 1-1/4" receiver, and it can hold more weight. To everyone else reading this,...

  • Does Trailer Mate Hitch Install Affect Spare Tire On 2019 RAV4 Adventure ?
    Luke, no interference at all. The Trailer Mate # TMT54FR is designed for a direct fit with your spare in place. Your spare is actually under the cargo area of your trunk. The only thing you’ll remove is the passenger-side tie-down bracket, which isn’t used once the hitch is installed. Do you plan to use it mainly for towing, or will it be a dedicated bike or cargo rack mount? And for our Adventure trim owners out there - what do you like to put on the hitch of your RAVs?

  • Trailer Hitch Receiver Add-On For Cargo Carrier And Totes On 2021 Toyota RAV4 LE
    Amy, absolutely. Just keep the combined weight of the carrier and your totes under the 350-lb tongue weight limit of the Trailer Mate 2" Hitch Receiver # TMT54FR. You'll also want to check the max tongue weight of your RAV4 which can be found in the owner's manual. Load heavier items toward the vehicle to keep the carrier balanced, and if the totes block your tail lights, an auxiliary light kit plugged into a 4-way harness is a smart add-on. Do you already have a carrier, or are you shopping...
