Could Trailer Hitch Installed on 2018 Toyota RAV4 Be Used as Jacking Point
Updated 02/03/2020 | Published 02/02/2020 >
Question:
Every hitch I see for the RAV4 obstructs the rear jacking point published in the owners manual. I can’t see jacking the vehicle using the hitch as a jacking point. Has this subject been discussed?

Expert Reply:
Hitches actually work great as jacking points generally as they are reinforced steel beams that attach directly to the vehicle frame. I wouldn't think twice about using a hitch installed on your 2018 Toyota RAV4 like the EcoHitch # 306-X7219 you referenced if ever needed. For you vehicle it has not been an issue we've seen from our customers or manufacturers as well.
