With a 3,500-lb maximum gross trailer weight and 525-lb tongue weight rating, this hitch is built for everyday towing and gear hauling. It’s a solid Class III design with a standard 2" x 2" receiver that works for bike racks, cargo carriers, or light trailers. Whether you’re moving a small boat or loading up for a trip, it gives your vehicle the versatility to handle it safely and confidently.
This hitch is fully welded for strength and precision fit, so it bolts directly to the frame without any welding or cutting. The matte black powder coat finish over a protective base layer resists rust and corrosion while hiding dirt and scuffs better than glossy coatings. The finish gives the round-tube design a rugged look that blends in cleanly under the bumper and stands up to years of road grime and weather.


Installing this hitch doesn’t require special tools or a lift—just basic sockets, a torque wrench, and patience. The bolt-on setup lines up with factory mounting points, so there’s no drilling or welding involved. A complete hardware kit and instructions come in the box, making it a straightforward project for anyone who prefers to tackle upgrades in the garage or driveway.

Glad you are liking it so far, Corey! What year RAV4 did you install this on? And how did you clean the rust out? It a very common issue on vehicles that aren't basically brand new.

Thanks for your feedback, There's a possibility you have what we call a "flexed hitch". This can happen sometimes during shipping and may affect how the hitch lines up during installation. I've attached an article that explains how to correct the issue. Reach out if you have any questions!

Hi Nathan, Thank you for your feedback! This hitch is a confirmed fit for your vehicle. Trailer hitch receivers can flex during shipping due to the ears of the hitch being made out of mild steel. The mild steel is used to help absorb vibrations from the trailer to the tow vehicle. The ears can be flexed back into shape without compromising the hitch. I have attached a helpful article that goes into detail of how to flex the hitch back into shape.

Thank you for your review. It is common for the Thule locks to be sticky when they are new. lightly tap the key all the way into place in the lock core the very first time you use it so that it seats fully. You can use a rubber mallet or small hammer to gently coax the key into its fully-ed position. That usually loosens it up. Please let me know if you need more help.

The only thing Ive done with the hitch so for is to mount my bicycle rack. I did wire up the harness for the lights found that it took longer than installing the hitch.

Hi Glory, does the hitch have a sticker on the side plate listing the part number? If so, can you provide that number? Can you give me a brief description of how the hitch doesn't fit? Has anything been bent?

Solid construction, no issues at all. I use it to haul my mountain bike to trailheads. I really like that I didn’t have to give up too much ground clearance. I’ve never scraped on anything yet.
