2011 Toyota RAV4

Great Service, Fast Shipping, took about 10 minutes to install on 2011 RAV4, looks good.



by:

Very pleased with our new trailer hitch. Easy to install.



by:

shipped faster than if i drove there and picked it up myself! great service. and the products themselves exceeded my expectations.



by:

Easy online ordering. Excellent follow-up throughout the shipping process. Arrived on time. Excellent product. Would not hesitate to order from this comapnay again. Will share my experience with my friends and family.



by:

This hitch was very easy to install. My wife and I installed it in about 30 minutes(which includes the time getting out my tools).
Ther is no doubt in my mind that she could have installed it by herself.



by:

Great hitch. Install time was (conservatively) 5 minutes. Took longer to get it out of the box! Ordered it one afternoon and it showed up the next day.



by:
2015 Toyota RAV4

Great product and fast delivery, took 15 min to install on my 2011 Rav4. Customer service made sure I had the right parts before hit purchase.



by:

The hitch itself, was just as advertized, the speed at which it was delivered to my front door, was exceptional. I was told it would be 2 days,...it was half that time. Thanks, BW.



by:

Found your product very easy to install. I did have to go out and buy 2 extra mounting bolts. Other then that. Very nice product.



by:

Excellent product, seems very well made, arrived in great condition and we installed it in 15 minutes! Thank you etrailer!



by:

I received my hitch without a hitch. It came within 3-4 working days and everything I ordered was in the box. Hitch, receiver, and harness all just as I ordered them and ahead of schedule. I am having it installed even as I write this. I will send pictures ASAP.



by:

Easy to install. The hitch took only 30 minutes by myself and some blocks of wood to hold it up.

The wiring kit took much longer due to routing the power cable, though. Patience and planning is key for that part.



by:

If the car is half as strong as the hitch it will be great! The hitch is a very good product and I would recommend it to other friends. The only problem I had is with UPS, as they left the package at someone elses house. Those people saw the name on the box and called me right away! I was impressed with your service and was surprised at how fast I had the products!



by:

The service at etrailer is excellent. I ordered two components for my car, a hitch and wiring harness. Etrailer had the most reasonable prices online, plus their website is easy to navigate and link necessary parts together. After ordering my total came above the minimum for free standard shipping. Etrailer upgraded my shipping for free to 3-5 day overnight. It arrived in excellent condition, and I could not be more pleased with my purchasing experience.



by:
Toyota RAV4

Packaged well, Single instruciton sheet, four bolts. couldn't be simpler... except that if you have a RAV4 sport, you'll need to remove the exhaust tip mounting screw (hex button head holding flexible band) as the sport exhaust chamber blocks one of the hitch mounting bolts (not so on the standard RAV4). Other than that, couldn't be simpler. Hitch is sturdy, and once installed, is about level or slightly higher than the level of any other car bottom components.



by:

Perfect fit, on in 20 minutes at my friends garage. You should suggest that the muffler be dropped out of the way for ease of installing the forward bolt on the passenger side. This is my second hitch from etrailers and I always recommend you guys to my friends. Thanks for a truly great product.



by:
2016 Toyota RAV4

It fit! It's installed. I did it. Not easy from a weight perspective. I needed the help of auto jack stands to hold the hitch close enough to try the bolts. The tow on the left were protected by the tow flange. But the two bolt holes on the muffler side (right) were initially impossible for the bolts to engage. Used PB Blaster spray in the rear one, and it finally yielded. The forward one above the muffler is still only taking 5/16" of the bolt which is not enough for real use. Will try thread chaser next. Doing this without a lift and "single-handed" is a real chore. I'm going to"fix" the final rusted bolt hole, fully thread the final bolt and then bike! Oh, and in stock, great price and delivery.

All good. The only tough part was the rusted holes in the frame of my 2016 RAV4. That required the purchase of special bits to clear the holes which was a time-consuming processchore. Once completed, the hitchs holes lined up perfectly!



by:

I choose etrailer based on great prior reviews, price, and vast selections. While watching a few of their YouTube videos that were very specific and informative in how to install my hitch, I felt confident in their product and customer service quality. I choose standard shipping and it was I received it that week. Very fast! Upon inspection I was surprised how mint condition it was I say that because it there wasn’t really much protection in the box protecting the hitch. I’ve worked for a major shipping company and boxes are thrown around in transport, especially when it comes off the main truck and hits the warehouse conveyor belt system. It’s not malicious, it’s just part of how it’s done. That being said, there wasn’t a mark on it. Great powder coat all around. Came with all well made hardware and directions That were easy to follow. I actually was able to install it myself in less than 30 min. Don’t pay to have someone install it. Just ask a neighbor or a family member to help. All you really need help with or just someone to hold one side up when you lift it in in mine I was even able to just balance it with one of my legs while I have the other side because it wasn’t a huge hitch. Really impressed with it and very happy and would definitely order from them again

No rust and performs like day 1



by:

I am very happy with my trailer hitch receiver from etrailer. I installed one on my 2011 Toyota rav4 for towing a small teardrop trailer I made during the pandemic. I also purchased a wiring harness to power the trailer lights from etrailer and after some doing have it working well. The cost of doing it myself was a small fraction of having the dealership do the work. The hitch receiver is easy to install as there are pre drilled holes to receive bolts in the frame. The wiring is a bit more complicated but I did it. God bless online videos. I'm happy with the results.

Still working great



by:

Right fit for 09 Toyota Rav4. Excellent quality and packaging. Arrived fast, best price online.
The wiring harness was relatively easy to install.
The vedio on the site is really helpful. Running the positive line to the battery was the hardest, all wheel drive rav4 is very tight in the back. I had to ran the wire mostly by the breakline.



by:

The hitch works great and is hidden below the bumper. I use it with a bike rack for 2 electric bikes. Very solid hitch.

  • Comparing Curt Hitches for a 2017 Toyota RAV4
    The differences between the between the Curt # C13149 and the Curt # C13406 for your 2017 Toyota RAV4 are that the 13149 has a visible crosstube and is rated for use with a weight distribution system while the 13406 has a concealed crosstube (for a more sleek look) and it isn't rated for use with a weight distribution system. If you plan on towing I recommend using the 13149 but if you just plan on using it for recreational items like a bike rack or cargo carrier then I recommend the 13406...

  • Solution for Trailer Hitch that Bent in Shipping
    Sometimes hitches can get slightly bent during shipping and this can be fixed by bending the hitch back into place as long as the hitch only has a slight bend to it. If yours isn't lining up I can almost guarantee that is what happened. Some people will use open steps for leverage, vices and even car jacks to apply controlled force to bend the hitch back. You will want to look for flaking paint and physical stress marks on the hitch before and after you attempt to bend the hitch back....

If you are looking to tow with your trailer hitch, I also recommend the Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56350. This harness is custom fit for your vehicle and will...

  • What Model Years of the Toyota RAV4 will the Curt Trailer Hitch Part C13149 Fit
    The Curt trailer hitch # C13149 is a 2-inch Class-III custom-fit hitch for the 2006-2015 model years of the Toyota RAV4. Currently it is the most popular trailer hitch for the 2006-2015 Toyota RAV4. This hitch will fit both 2010 and 2011 model years. For 1996 through 2005 model year RAV4s, the most popular trailer hitch was the Curt # C13524. I have included an installation video for you as well.

  • Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2018 Toyota RAV4
    The Curt # C13149 hitch is going to perform great on your 2018 Toyota RAV4. Although the capacity would be beyond what you'd ever need it's nice having something so strong that you'd never have to worry about it. For trailer wiring the Tekonsha kit part # 118578 would be the way to go as it is a confirmed fit and this is the most reliable brand we offer. Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with...

  • Location of Tow Hook on Rear of Toyota RAV4
    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.

    I have a great bike rack solution for you. Unfortunately, since your Aventon Adventure E-Bike weighs 73 pounds, it exceeds any maximum weight capacity of a bike rack with an integrated ramp option. With that being said, if you absolutely need a ramp feature, I recommend the Ultra-Fab Dirt Bike Carrier for 2" Hitches - With Ramp # UF48-979033. Not only will this be able to mount with a compatible 2-inch hitch on both your Toyota RAV4 and your GulfStream Conquest Class C motorhome, it comes...

I have attached a link to an installation video for this hitch on a RAV4 you can take a look at. As the video shows, there is a measurement of about 6 inches from the hitch pin hole to the back of the spare tire cover. We will use that measurement for making a recommendation.

This is a class III hitch with a tongue weight capacity of 525 lbs and a towing capacity of 3,500 lbs. The hitch will fit hybrid models of the RAV4 and you will not lose the ability to use the hands-free liftgate sensors.

  • Does 2018 Toyota RAV4 Have Tongue Weight Capacity For Dirt Bike Carrier
    I took a look at the online copy of the owner's manual for a 2018 Toyota RAV4 and it did not list a maximum tongue weight capacity. The tongue weight is meant to be around 10 percent to 15 percent when towing a trailer, like you said, but our only source for capacities is the owner's manual, and this one does not specify a hard limit. Realistically, you should probably be fine using a 2 inch hitch like the Curt Trailer Hitch # C13149 - a Class III hitch with a 2" receiver and 525 lb tongue...

  • Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Toyota Rav4 with Covered Spare Tire
    Since your spare tire is covered the best option you would have for a bike rack for your 2012 Toyota RAV4 would be a hitch mounted rack. As long as you have a hitch like the Curt Hitch part # C13149 this would be a great option. A very popular bike rack with other Rav4 owners with covered spares is the Swagman XTC-2 Bike Rack part # S64670.

  • Recommended Hitch Mount Platform Bike Rack For 2010 Toyota RAV4 For Rear Door Clearance
    Both of the bike racks you referenced, the Swagman XC, part # S64650, and the Hollywood Trail Rider, part # HR200Z, have shanks attached that have a rise which does add more height to the bike rack and would cause more clearance issues for your 2010 Toyota RAV4 swinging rear door. I went to out warehouse and took a couple of measurements for you. The pivot base attached to the top of the shank on the bike carriers measures about 4-1/2 inches. If you add that to the rise of 5 inches on...

  • Can the Hands Free Lift Gate Still Operate When Trailer Hitch is Installed on a 2018 Toyota RAV4
    Any trailer hitch, like the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C12108 that you referenced, will cause some interference with the hands free lift gate feature on your 2018 Toyota RAV4 because you are putting some metal in front of the motion sensor. You will still be able to activate this feature though with most trailer hitches by kicking straight out to either side of the hitch receiver.

Both of these hitches are confirmed to fit the 2014 Toyota RAV4 and bolt to your vehicle with included hardware.

The center of the hitch pin hole to the outermost part of your bumper is just 3-3/4 inches so it will work very well with almost all 2 inch accessories.

You would need the part # RHK to get new hardware. On the product page you would just need to select Curt from the drop down menu and then enter the part # C13149 to get new hardware.

    I like our etrailer.com lock # e98880. This is the most popular hitch lock for 2 inch trailer hitches like # C13149. The flush design means that the ends are right up against the hitch pin hole on the receiver making it nearly impossible to get a tool in there to even try to cut the lock off. I have included a link to a video review of this lock for you along with a link to all the locking hitch pins we carry for 2 inch hitches.

I attached a review video for you to check for the strap as well. Because of that I would recommend you go with the ettrailer part # e98864 as it does not have that same strap requirement.

  • Will Curt Bike Rack C18030 Fit on 2007 Toyota RAV4
    You would have to measure from your hitch pin hole out to the furthest point out on the rear spare of your 2007 Toyota RAV4 to determine if the # C18030 will clear it. The rack has a distance of 7-3/4 inches from the pin hole to nearest portion of the mast. If the distance you measured is less than that this rack will fit. When we installed the Curt hitch part # C13149 on a 2007 RAV4 the measured distance was 6 inches so there is a very good chance the rack would work for you.
