Recommended Trailer Wiring Harness For 2017 Toyota RAV4

Question:

I purchased a trailer hitch and harness for a 2015 Toyota Rav 4. I now have a 2017 and the hitch fits, but the harness connectors for the tail lights are different. Is there a different harness for the 2017?

For your 2017 Toyota RAV4, I recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118578.

This custom-fit T-One connector plugs into your Toyota RAV4's wiring harness, which is located inside your trunk, behind the tail lights on both the driver's side and passenger's side. You will need to remove some interior trim or carpeting to access the harness. Once you've plugged in the T-connector, run the hot lead up to your car battery. Connect the lead to the included fuse holder, and then connect the fuse holder to the positive terminal on your battery and insert the provided fuse.

I've attached a help article on running the power wire and attached some videos to assist.
