The 2010 and 2011 Toyota Rav 4 are of the same generation, so other than minor changes the two vehicles would be essentially identical. The procedure shown in the video will be the same as what you'll use on your 2010.

The parts you mentioned are exactly what you'll need, but you'll also need a # 118412 trailer wiring harness (unless your RAV 4 is already equipped with a 4-pole trailer connector). I'd also consider using the long bracket, # C57202 instead of the short # 18140 to provide more clearance between the 7-way and the hitch.

I've linked you to some install FAQ articles that you might find helpful.
