This fully welded trailer hitch receiver bolts onto your vehicle's frame with no welding required. Powder coated steel is sturdy and corrosion resistant.by: Sam08/05/2023
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.

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.

2018 Toyota RAV4
The hitch receiver came in a sturdy oversized box containing no padding to secure the hitch, possibly explaining the two large holes in the box. There was no immediately visible damage to the hitch but when I measured the distance between the mounting flanges at the forward and rear corresponding edges there was about 1/2 inch difference, suggesting that they were bent presumably during shipping. Fortunately, I was able to mount it to my 2018 RAV4 Hybrid Limited without the need to bend anything. The installation went pretty smoothly except for some fiddling to disconnect the muffler hanger, and I broke two of the plastic fittings that hold a plastic panel in place over the driver side mounting area. I replaced the plastic fittings with some bolts and nuts so no worries. This was a 1-man install job which I accomplished by using a floor jack to raise the hitch into position. Shipping was super fast! I received it the day after I ordered it. All in all I think I will be really happy with this purchase.

Serves the purpose for which I purchased this - to hold my bike rack. Still looks like new, no rust or scratches.

Super easy install. I had to use a 12mm tap to clean out years of rust from inside the frame threads that received the hitch bolts. Other than this hiccup the process went smooth. Easy ordering and great customer support.

The package came fully opened on top and the item Curt C13149 got all this chip all over it. The shiny topcoat is almost worn out. I'm thinking of returning this since this item looks like used already although the bolts are not.

Ouch! The hitch did have a rough time of it. I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you. We can send a replacement out if that is what you decide.

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

This is my 3rd hitch from Etrailer and all have been absolutely fantastic! Instructions are super clear and there’s always a video on the install with each hitch for the visual questions.
My only complaint that was consistent for all 3 hitches was the packaging. They all came with some part of the mounting exposed outside of the box. Unsure if packer or shipper issue. Been lucky no damage to anything but was mildly frustrated seeing the hitch exposed.

Easy peasy....everything was exactly as stated. From ease of directions to follow to the actual installation. Great and fair price.
Hard to find companies that put out such things anymore. My hat is off to you all at etrailer!!

Great product, delivered very fast, install was pretty straightforward, you may have to play around with the bolt pattern to get it lined up, but went on nicely.

We purchased a trailer hitch for our 2015 RAV4 to pull a medium trailer with kayaks on it. It worked beyond our expectations! It was a quick bolt on for my husband and teenage son and actually was strong enough to pull a full size 4 wheeler for a short way (I think the hitch was stronger than the car!). Delivery was timely (especially since we were in the midst of the pandemic). We have actually just purchased racks for another car and are buying from etrailer because we were so pleased with their integrity last year.

The Curt trailer hitch receiver I purchased from etrailer is great. The only part of installing it that took a little bit of time was cleaning the threads on the frame of my 2018 Rav4. PBblaster, WD40, and nylon pipe cleaners weren't enough. I had to retap 3 of the four threads on the frame of my car. But, I'm very pleased. It seems like a quality product.
by: Bobbi07/06/2023

The product itself is great, but since my Rav isn't brand new and has suffered through several Appalachian winters, I couldn't get the bolts behind the muffler installed. Didn't matter how much cleaning I did, so I'll have to get it installed by a mechanic.

Cleaning out the weld nuts can be tough. A mechanic is a good choice to help with the installation. You can also use a tap to re-cut the threads in the weld nut holes.

The hitch arrived quickly, in just a matter of a couple of days. The written and video instructions were clear and easy to follow. I was able to install the hitch in less than 30 minutes by myself. I used my motorcycle lift to hold it level at the correct height and bolted it in place without ANY problems. The hitch was purchased to mount my bike rack; as you can see, everything worked out without "a hitch"!

Absolutely fantastic! Got my niece to buy one too!
by: Clifford02/14/2023
The hitch holes did not match up exactly with the holes on our RAV, rather than ship everything back, we cut slots in one side with an angle grinder and were able to match up the holes. The hitch holes were off by 1/2". Since it is bolted to the frame, this did not really weaken the hitch. Otherwise the hitch is working fine.

Well that could be from the hitch flexing during shipment. You can use a vise to straighten out the wings. Check out the link below for more details.

I recently installed the Curt 2" trailer on my 2013 Rav4 XLE awd. The quality and shipping was OUTSTANDING. Shipping was quick, took about 4 business days "thank you Christopher N." Installation was about 30 min's "one person installation" using a jack:) The hitch is pretty solid and will more than do the job for my usage of holding Mountain/bmx bikes. ETrailer made this transaction really easy. Will definitely be my go to auto trailer supply shop. Thank you thank you.

Toyota RAV4
From date of order to delivery at our doorstep, the service was excellent! We originally ordered this part from a local business and were notified after the hitch was to arrive that it was backordered. We needed it for a trip we were taking and found etrailer online. Ordered the part, it shipped the next day and arrived exactly when it said it would. This experience not only saved our vacation plans, but was a very smooth process. Installation took 30 minutes using the tools that were listed on the easy to follow instruction sheets! The hitch is of solid construction and looks great on our RAV4!

We bought the etrailer hitch for our Rav4 so we could use our hitch mounted bike rack. The hitch was easy to install and has worked out great! It was designed for our vehicle and I almost forget that the part is after market. Would definitely recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch

Bought this hitch to hold my bike rack. Arrived really fast and in good shape. My neighbor just installed it on my Toyota RAV 4 and it went on smoothly. The friend that helped him was so impressed he wants one too so I sent him the link to etrailer. Looking forward to using it this week!

Cheaper then going to a car shop and very easy to install. I have been using it ever since I installed it. I used it to haul small things and my 4 bikes on my bike rack with my RAV4. Highly recommended hitch. I am extremely satisfied with my purchase. Thanks eTrailer for a quality product at a reasonable price.

I am happy with the quality and purchase. I have been using it ever since I bought them. Your product has meet all my expectation and it was really easy to install. It also save me about three hundred dollars, if I had some one buy the part and installed it for me. Thanks
by: Ben10/26/2017
Super easy install even without a lift. It was a little tight on one side so I had to get a pry bar and a hand from the neighbor to get it flexed to line up the holes but not a huge deal. Hitch has held up very well being on the vehicle for a year. I keep a bike rack in it continually. No complaints.

Bought this for my son's 2017 Toyota RAV4 XLE AWD Hybrid, and now for my 2018 Toyota RAV4 SE AWD Hybrid. Both installations were a breeze. Have yet to determine whether the Tekonsha T-One wiring harness is similarly easy.
Stuart

The wiring harness worked flawlessly, especially with the hybrid battery being in the back end. Prying the trim out of the way and releasing the wiring clips, however, was a pain. Far harder than the video makes it look. Two people - one to hold the trim out, and one to manipulate the plugs - works far better. The overall setup is great for both my son and me.

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.

Toyota RAV4
I had a 6 month new, Toyota RAV4 when I purchased and installed receiver and wiring. Being a new vehicle, the mechanical installation was clean and easy. The instructions were clear, the bolts I had to remove came right out with no issue. The wiring was generally straight forward but the instructions provided are completely inadequate. Fortunately, there is a lot of instruction on the install videos. Even with that, it was hard to imagine ripping an almost new vehicle’s interior apart.
The actual process of connecting the wiring kit into the car’s wiring was pretty straight forward, it was getting at the wires that was not explained well. The video made that clear and the procedure was actually rather easy. Just hard to imagine without a video example.
I live in the upper Midwest and winters are cold, snowy and a salty environment for a vehicle’s undercarriage. All the recommendations on the web routed the power wire under the vehicle long the frame. I should note, in a the old days, brake lights did not need to be separately powered but instead used the tail light signals to power the trailer lights. There are a handful of reasons why this has changed and the contemporary systems are a lot more technically complicated than those of the past. The new systems have the disadvantage of needing a separate power and ground (frame) connection (the power wire to the battery at the engine compartment). These new systems have the advantage, however, of reliability.
Once the back portion of the interior was pulled apart (it all went together quite easily with no problems) finding a path for the wiring to the front of the cabin was quite easily done. Much better and easier than routing via the outside.
The only challenge was finding a path through the firewall for the wire to reach the engine compartment and the battery. This was done by using an existing hole near the accelerator (gas) pedal.
In the end, the installation went well and works great at a great price with great support. Details of the wiring install needs to be mbetter documented and I would absolutely NOT run the power wire to the battery, outside the vehicle. Running it inside is much easier and far more secure, even in a warm climate environment. It just needs better explanation.
The only other “thing” was that the trailer wire hides in the spare tire ompartment when not used (most of the time) and is easily pulled out and reaches the trailer connection through the gasket seal on the closed hatch. While this might seem a bit “crude,” has actually turned out to be a pretty good method. The connector sits dry and safe when not in use and is easily routed throw the closed hatch, without any stress or damage to the wire or hatch seal, to the trailer.

I bought and installed the etrailer hitch a year ago. It was the first step in my stealth boat buying plan. The install went very easily. I did have to use a jack to spread the arms about 1/4 inch to get the holes to line up, but after that the install went very smoothly. I've had no problems with the hitch, which i use several times a month to take the boat out.

- Trailer Hitch Recommendation for 2017 Toyota RAV4 That Allow Hands Free Liftgate to OpenFor your 2017 Toyota RAV4 SE the Curt Hitch # C13149 is a confirmed fit and would work well for you.

The rating for the hitch is just for the hitch itself. Everything in a towing set up has its own rating, so on the vehicle side the ball, ball mount, hitch, and vehicle all have their own ratings. Whichever is the lowest is the rating you go by. If you can tell me what...

view full answer... - Solution for Trailer Hitch that Bent in ShippingSometimes 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....

- Bike Rack Availability For 2 Inch Curt Hitch on 2015 Toyota RAV4The receiver for the Curt hitch # C13149 for your 2015 Toyota RAV4 looks like it sits flush with the bumper, which you can see in the installation video. One of the most popular bike racks we have is the Thule DoubleTrack # TH990XT, because it combines basic features at an affordable price. We have a video link of this bike rack to the Toyota RAV4. If the DoubleTrack doesn't work then I'll include another link to our selection of bike racks that fit a 2 inch hitch.

Also, leave the bolts loose enough so that you can move the hitch a little. This little bit of play may be all you need...
