Expert Reply:

It sounds like you're looking for a hitch for your 2011 Toyota RAV4.

I recommend the Curt Class III, part # C13149. It's a 2" hitch that has a max tongue weight of 525 pounds and max towing capacity of 3500 pounds. It can handle the Thule Hitching Post Pro, part # TH934XTR, that you referenced and your bikes with ease.

I've linked to a video installation of this hitch below.
