Question:
Hi: Michael H posted about towing a RAV4, not dated. This was for a 2011, would like to know if info is good for a 2015? I bought a dolly as Toyota recommends none of their vehicals 4x2 after 2000, be dingy towed and all 4x4 be trailer towed. But I would like to use the wiring kit recommended in Michaels post on our 4x2 2015 RAV.

In that answer there are 2 wiring kits mentioned: diode kit # RM-154 and magnetic light kit # RM-2120.
If you want to use a diode kit AND still have the turn signals function separately from the brake lights you will actually need 6 diode kit # 154-792-118158. I am assuming that the tow dolly also has lights so you would need to splice in the diode kit's 4-Way to the tow dolly's wiring harness.
But you also have to make sure that the combined draw of all the lights does not exceed the capacity of the tow package on the RV/tow vehicle. That is unless you plan on only using the diode kit for lights.
