Yes, we do. I recommend Curt, part # C13406. It's a fit for all of the 2018 RAV4's including the Hybrid model like you have.

I like how the crosstube is hidden behind the RAV4's bumper and all you see is the receiver tube sticking out. Take a look at the picture I attached. I've also linked the install video for you, which isn't on a Hybrid model but the install is the same.

The wiring harness # HM11141820 from Hopkins gives you a 4-way to power the trailer lights. It plugs into connectors that are behind the paneling on both sides in the rear cargo area. I don't have an install video on a RAV4 but I have linked the install details for you.

I've linked our selection of 2 inch ball mounts for you. As well as an article to help you determine the rise or drop you need with your trailer.

What is the difference between draw tite 76134 and 75235?

The Draw-Tite # 76134 and # 75235 are both designed to fit your RAV4 but they differ both in their capacities and physical design. The Draw-Tite # 76134 features a "hidden" design where only the 2" receiver will be visible on the vehicle. The Draw-Tite # 75235 will be fully exposed (crosstube and all) but it does offer an easier install process and higher weight capacities.
