I recommend the Class III Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit part # DT82QR for your 2020 Toyota RAV4 which is a concealed cross tube design. The hitch will not be completely hidden once installed though. You will see the receiver square, but the cross tube will be installed behind the bumper for a clean OEM look while carrying your bike rack. I have attached an installation video for your reference.

Hey Adrian! The higher capacity for the B&W #BW47BR and Curt #C77MJ comes from the construction. The B&W hitch weighs 45 lbs and then the Curt and Trailer Mate #TMT54FR both weigh 32 lbs. The Trailer Mate does sit just a tad higher compared…
