Best 1997 Toyota RAV4 Trailer Hitch Ball Mounts

It will do the job, for sure.

I recently purchased a class III Curt hitch, mount, ball, wiring harness and hitch pin for my 2011 Toyota Rav 4. The installation was as described, straight forward and easy. The instructions were easy read and matched the vehicle I have. Everything fit together exactly with no modification needed. Shipping was directly to my door. The unit was undamaged and everything was shipped all in the same box. I have used my hitch several times, and although I an new to towing, I look forward to years of use. I did have to make a quiet clamp for the banging mount with an empty trainer, but from what I understand, this is common to all hitched.

Great Product. Installation was straightforward and took about an hour. The longest part was cleaning the rust out of the weld nuts with WD-40 and the tube brush. Once they were cleaned installation was simple.

Arrived quickly and functioning perfectly

It's a receiver hitch! It's well built, the welds are clean and it fits the trailer hitch. Not much else to say!

Good quality and fit. Installation was straight forward and instructions were accurate.

Hitch installation went well after viewing the installation video. The wiring harness video was not completely accurate but provided more than enough visual information to perform the wiring install in a reasonable time. Overall, very happy with product at this time due to easy install due to seller videos. Haven;'t used it yet other than to take a test drive, so, sorry no videos, Etrailer provides a good product with excellent product support. Shipping was very fast and of course the price was right. I would definitely use them again.

Can't wait to get them installed and see how they fit.

The etrailer.com site was easy to navigate and I found the right draw bar for my new Rav4. The order was processed very quickly and delivery was within just a few days of the order. Prices are fair and customer service was great. Thanks for a great online experience!

Received it exactly when they said it would arrive. Works great. Exactly as described.

Outstanding hitch, wiring harness & attachments. Online help (when given the trailer manufacturer and year) chose correct size and offset for ball to perfectly align trailer and car. You can see the lawn tractor sitting absolutely level on the trailer with the snow flying. It shows why I was in such a rush to acquire the hitch. From online chat with sales agent to her selection of right fit for the particular trailer and car to the ease of installation and the perfect ride behind my RAV4...RATING: A+! Couldn't be happier. Expedited 2 day shipping arrived exactly as promised. So impressed!!! Thank you etrailer for outstanding service. Very happy customer!

I installed two Curt hitches last year. One was for a 2006 Honda CR-V and the other was for a 2011 Toyota RAV4. Both were used to tow small U-Haul trailers across the state and both performed well. They were easy to install. The only downside I have is that the ball mount rattles around in the receiver a bit more than previous hitches I have had. All in all, though, I am pleased with the product.

I have a 2004 RAV 4 and I was trying to get my ball away from the spare tire carrier. I think I probably would have been fine with the next size (shorter) ball mount and still got the job done. The good news is that with the 2 inch drop, I can open the rear door and it just rubs the seal at the bottom of the door a little bit, but I can still easily open the door. I did not want to drop the ball any lower, So this works out well for my rig.

Ordered this hitch and it worked perfect for what I needed just bought a teardrop trailer. Couldn't open up the tailgate on my Jeep so I ordered this extended hitch and I brought the ball out past my spare tire and the tailgate opens up now I have no problems. And I looked everywhere couldn't find one of this quality and at this price very reasonable the other ones hundreds of dollars didn't want to spend that much.

With good information from the website it was easy to order a Curt 2" Trailer Hitch, the Upgraded Circuit Protected Tail Light Converter Hardwire Kit w/ 4-Pole Connector and Circuit Tester - 119178KIT, Curt Ball Mount for 2" Hitches (3/4" Rise, 2" Drop - 10-1/4" Long - 7,500 lbs - D-4), Curt Pin and Clip Hitch Receiver - C21500, Rubber Tube Cover for 2" Trailer Hitch Receivers - I-728,Review, and 2" hitch ball 40038. Parts were delivered earlier than the initial estimate. Self installation (on a sloped drive way) took just under 2 hour. The fit of parts was very good, instructions and on-line video's were very helpful. My Kia did not have the wire plug in option, but the splice connections in the wire kit were easy to install. Most of the parts are hidden from view when the ball mount is not used.

I have a custom made tow guard. The ball mount I have was too short to allow me to attach the tow guard to my new truck. I searched the web and found just what I needed at etrailer.com. It's the only site I found that carried the size I needed. The product fits my needs perfectly. I can now protect my boat from rocks and other road debris when towing. Thank you etrailer.com.

I am using the hitch for a car dolly and a bike rack. The fit is a little loose for the bike rackmI'll see it really works when get on the road.

Quality is excellent. However, it did not work so I am not sure what to do with it. I thought I could use the top hitch for a Bike rack and pull a utility trailer with other toys. The trailer is too close to make a turn so good try but not able to use it. Thank you for asking. I did not open the box for a while because I was having the trailer worked on so assumed I waited too long to return.

The 5 inch rise on this hitch ball mount was perfect for my 07 Toyota Rav4. The rear door opens to the side on this year Rav4 and it has plenty of clearance. I tow a 16 ft aluminium boat and this 5 inch rise ball mount works perfectly on the Rav.

The Curt Class II Drawbar with a 5" rise very nicely solved my problem when hooking up my two trailers to my Rave 4. The trailer jack was as low as it could go when it rested on the ball in my of setup. Now I have plenty of jack room to hook up and unhook. Thanks for your excellent product and service. Ralph E.

As advertised and quick delivery, I am an Etrailer fan!

Easy install, everything included, and great instructional video. Worked out great for my RAV4.

Ordered this product for my 2015 Rav 4 and it has worked perfectly. I tow a trailer about 4 times a week and needed a hitch that would step the ball up to make the trailer level and allow the wheel to be lowered without manually lifting the trailer myself. Product came quickly and was advertised. Would order again if I needed one for another vehicle.

Superb quality product that solved my RAV4 rear hatch to trailer winch post problem with it's extra long length!! Super fast shipping!! Can't get any better than etrailer!! Thanks!!

2007 Toyota Rav4 owner. I needed this to reach out beyond my spare tire, works perfectly and no clanging or unnecessary movement.

Easy install, everything included, and great instructional video. Worked out great for my RAV4.

Needed the 6” drop to flip and make a 6” rise for my 2021 rav4 prime

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.
