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.
