Ground Clearance Of Curt and Draw-Tite Hitch Options For 2019 Toyota RAV4 Adventure
Published 12/12/2019 >
Question:
What is the difference in ground clearance between the ecohitch and the standard curt trailer hitch? 2019 Toyota Rav 4 Adventure, and now that I am looking I see that you do not yet have an ecohitch model that fits the 2019 rav4, only the 2018.

Expert Reply:
You are correct the Ecohitch does not have a compatible fit for the 2019 Toyota RAV4 Adventure at this time. However, the concealed cross tube option Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver part # DT82QR provided about 12" of clearance on the 2019 Toyota RAV4 when we installed it which should be the same for the Adventure give or take for possible tire size variances.
The Curt also provides the 12" of clearance as well and is a concealed cross tube design so the only portion of the hitch on both options will be the receiver square once installed. I recommend to go with the Curt because the install is a bit easier compared to the Draw-tite which takes about 20 more minutes to install in our experience. I have attached an installation video for both options.
