Rugged, Matte Black Finish

The sturdy steel construction is protected with a matte black finish for added durability. This unique powder coating gives etrailer hitches a carbide-like appearance and a rugged look that sets them apart from traditional glossy hitches. In addition to being rust and corrosion resistant, the tough matte coating hides dirt, scuffs, and dings better than a glossy finish.

by:

Hitch had lots of deep scratches had to repaint some areas. But a very sturdy and good quality.



by:

Easy to install looks good works like a charm



by:

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



by:

Easy to install. Instructional video on website was great.



by:

Ordered the hitch and received it in just a couple of days, very easy to install.



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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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



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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

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:

Perfect fit and an easy do it yourself installation project on a 2009 RAV4
Recommend using a 12mm x 1.25 tap if bolt holes need threads cleaned out like mine did.
17mm impact socket to take off the tow plate and a 19mm socket to install the hitch, plus a Torque wrench and an impact driver.
Rubber isolation bushing easily comes off to drop the exhaust out of the way, I used bungees to support the exhaust instead of a strap as shown in the video.
I installed by myself simply lifting and bolting one side on at a time starting with the exhaust side laying on my garage floor. Easy peasy!

Great no problems at all



by:

Super easy install on a 2008 Rav4 Limited... and it WORKS with a 2 bike Kuat rack!!! Rack clears the tire cover when folded and the inside bike mount has room when loaded. If you have a recovery hook on the left rear side, it has to be removed as the hitch uses one of those mounting locations.

Glad to hear that you're able to hit the road with bikes, no issue! Install looks great :) What kind of biking do you enjoy?



by:

Very nicely built all the bolts and washers fit perfectly, without the hitch installed.
While trying to mount the hitch, one side (the driver's) was slightly off by a millimeter. It was as if the whole side of the hitch had been bent or welded at an angle.
Currently a tiny bit of dremelling and filing (on the thinner end ) will fix it. The other side is already pressed against the tub for the 3rd row seats/ cargo area.



by:

It look very sturdy. It fit perfectly where it suppose to be. I sold the car but I am buying one for my new car. No problems with it whatsoever.

It sounds like it worked well while you had it and that's what counts! Happy to hear it and thanks for sharing the photos, too :)



by:

One bolt hole did not line up but was able to get it on anyway with a little muscle. Looks good and works great. The video was very helpful for ease of installation. We backed up on two planks to give us extra clearance to install the receiver on the ground. Thx

  • Will the Yakima Holdup 2 Bike Rack Fit with the Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch on a 2012 Toyota RAV4
    The etrailer Trailer Hitch, # e98864, would be an excellent choice for your 2012 Toyota RAV4 and your Yakima Holdup 2 Bike Rack, # Y02433. The distance from the center of the hitch pin hole to the closest wheel tray on your rack is 12 inches, so you should have no problem when in the bike carrying position. When folded up the distance to the closest part of the rack is 7 inches so that should not pose a problem either, as long as you 2012 Rav4 is similar to the 2010 that we installed the...

    So we may have an issue if your 82lb e-bike weighs that with the battery removed. Our heaviest capacity racks are only capable of carrying bikes up to 80lbs. For your 2011 Toyota RAV4 I recommend the Yakima OnRamp LX Bike Rack # Y88DJ with the Yakima BackSwing Swing Away Hitch Extender # Y02483. This way you will be able to swing the bikes out of the way should you need to access your rear storage area. The bike rack includes a ramp for easier loading and unloading, and is capable of carrying...

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch And Trailer Wiring For 2017 Toyota RAV4
    The trailer hitch I recommend for your 2017 RAV4 is the etrailer Trailer Hitch, part # e98864. This is a Class lll hitch and it has a 2-inch receiver opening. The trailer wiring I recommend is the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness, part # 118578. This is a simple installation. Just plug the harness into the connection points located in the trunk area behind the tail lights on the driver and passenger side. Then run the hot lead wire to the positive battery post using the inline fuse and you...

  • Bike Rack for Two 60 lb E-bikes for 2009 Toyota Rav4
    I have two great options for you. The first is the Swagman E-Spec Electric Bike Rack # S94FR. It's super heavy-duty and has a weight capacity of 70lbs per bike. If you fold down the arm and take your bikes off, there is enough clearance to access and open the hatch of your Rav4. This rack is amazing for rugged, heavy duty riding. This rack just makes me feel secure that my heavy E-bikes are held up well. I attached a video below so you can see it in action on a 2020 Toyota Rav4. The second...

  • Determining if Yakima DoubleDown Ace Will Fit 2009 Toyota RAV4 and Clear Rear Spare
    What you can do to determine if the Yakima DoubleDown Ace # Y02451 will clear the rear spare of your 2009 Toyota Rav4 is take one measurement. Measure from the center of the hitch pin hole out to the furthest point out on your rear spare. If that distance is less than 9 inches this rack will fit and easily clear as it has 9 inches from the center of it's hitch pin hole to the back of the upright mast of the rack.

  • What Bike Rack do You Recommend that Lets Me Open My Rear Hatch on My 2010 Toyota RAV4?
    I have a great solution for you. When determining if you have enough clearance when using a hitch-mounted bike rack with your 2010 Toyota RAV4 with a swinging trunk toward the passenger's side of the vehicle, there are a few factors to consider. The first is the overall length of the hatch door itself. Another thing is the length of your handlebars of your bikes. Even if we determine those dimensions, it still does not give us a 100% firm solution as to what rack will allow you to access...

  • Recommended Bike Rack to Carry a 26 inch Schwinn Meridian Trike with a 2012 Toyota RAV4
    The bike rack that I recommend using to haul your 26 inch Schwinn Meridian Tricycle with your 2012 Toyota RAV4 is the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider Trike Carrier # HR1000Z-R-TRKADP. This trike carrier will fit both 1-1/4" and 2" hitch receivers and can carry a trike with a max track width of 36", a max wheelbase of 74", a max tire width of 3", and a max weight of 100 lbs. It also comes with a limited lifetime warranty. Since your Schwinn has a step-through frame you may need to use an Adapter...

  • Will the RockyMounts Westslope 3 Bike Rack Fold Up on a 2011 Rav4 with a Spare Tire?
    I have a solution for you. If you have a compatible 2-inch hitch like the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98864, the distance between the center of the hitch pin hole to the end of the spare tire on your 2011 Toyota RAV 4 is about 8 inches. With that distance, the RockyMounts WestSlope 3 # RKY10223 will interfere with the spare tire because there is only 5 inches from the center of the hitch pinhole to the rack when it is folded up....

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver And Wiring For A 2013 Toyota RAV4
    Hey Eduardo, The etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98907 is designed to fit 2015 - 2024 Nissan Murano's so it would not be a fit for your RAV4. You would instead need the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98864. This is a four bolt install so you could easily do this at home and save yourself some money. It will require a torque wrench # ALL944001, but you can typically rent these for free from your local auto parts store. I've attached a short video below where Dave will walk you through...

Both of these hitches are confirmed to fit the 2014 Toyota RAV4 and bolt to your vehicle with included hardware. I like to recommend the etrailer Hitch item # e98864 over the Curt item # C13149 because the flat black paint tends to blend in beneath the vehicles trim better. Either way unless you're hung up...

    Good question, and the panel you are referring to does get reinstalled on your 2018 Toyota RAV4 when installing the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98864. You will trim a small section of it (as shown in the cut out below), and the same push pins and nut that were holding it in will be used to reinstall the panel.

  • How to Adjust Trailer Hitch Whose Mounting Brackets are Misaligned
    Sometimes a trailer hitch receiver will suffer some deformation during shipment. A good drop from the delivery truck can cause some minor bending of the hitch mounting brackets.

If the powder coat is cracked then the hitch should not be installed since it may have been stressed to the point that it cannot meet its specs. When a slight adjustment is required...

For example, the etrailer # e98864 will allow full functionality of the liftgate, but your wife will just need to activate it with her foot on either side of the hitch receiver instead of the middle.

It is possible that the spare tire at the back will prevent the rear door from being able to swing all the way open but compared to every other bike rack the FullSwing will be 100% better in that regard. However, even though we have not tested this particular combination of rack and vehicle...
