Question:

2013 Toyota RAV4 LE AWD. How do I decide which of the options to order? Is the only difference the drawbar? I have a 2inch ball from my last vehicle do I want the standard drawbar? Not sure what a Euro drawbar is does it have the ball already attached? Also, you have two kits for 2013 Toyota RAV4 Trailer Wiring. Whats the difference between them other than price?

Expert Reply:

For your 2013 Toyota RAV4 I would recommend the Curt Class III hitch part # C13149. This is a 2 inch hitch with plenty of capacity that would work well for towing. If you have a ball mount designed for a 2 inch hitch already then that would work well with this hitch. But you may need a different rise/drop ball mount to tow your trailer level. Check out the help article I attached that details how to determine the correct rise/drop you would need.

We carry two trailer wiring harnesses confirmed to fit your vehicle. They are both basically the same thing made by two different manufacturers. The Curt # C56350 and the Tow Ready # 118578. Both would work well, but we seem to have better luck with the Tow Ready brand so that would be what I would recommend.
