Question:

Can you please recommend me a trailer hitch and wiring kit for my 2020 Toyota RAV4? I need to tow my camper and I am not sure what's best options for both. The trailer is a pop up and has the flat connector with the 4 wires if that helps.

The hitch I recommend for your 2020 Toyota RAV4 is the etrailer part # e23ZR as it has a 2 inch opening which more accessories are made for and it has the best towing capacities of the options available. I also really like that only the hitch opening hangs below the bumper to give you a more hidden look and better ground clearance. I attached an install video for this for you to check out as well.

For trailer wiring I recommend the easy to install Curt kit part # C56434 (actually made by same company as the hitch I recommended), because it has the highest amperage rating converter box which allows it to be the most resistant to internal problems due to trailer wiring shorts and because it's very easy to install.

Since you wanted to do some towing you might be interested in etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts; one with a 3/4 inch rise or 2 inch drop and one with a 2-3/4 inch rise or 4 inch drop. It also includes a 1-7/8 inch ball, 2 inch ball, hitch pin with clip, and a storage bag.

If the ball mount kit does not include a ball mount with the right rise or drop to tow the trailer level, check out the link I have included that explains how to measure to choose a ball mount to tow the trailer level.
