Question:

Hello! Im shopping for hitches for my Toyota 2017 Rav4 and I havent found what the pin hole depthinch is for hitch #e98864. Im planning on purchasing the Thule T2 Pro XTR 2 - 2inch #9034XTR. - What is the pin hole depth? The minimum pin hole depth requirement is 1.5. - What is the receiver depth on the 2017 Rav4? It seems like there isnt a backstop. The minimum receiver depth requirement is 2.5. - As I understood from the video, the bumper clearance is 3.5inch which is less than the maximum clearance of 6.3, so we should be good there. If this hitch wont work for that Thule rack, is there another etrailer hitch you all can recommend? Thank you all so much. I really appreciate the expertise.

I had our warehouse measure the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98864 you were looking to install on your 2017 Toyota RAV4 and the pin hole depth is 2-1/2", and the receiver depth measures 9-1/4" as you can see in the included diagram.

You are correct that when we had a chance to install this hitch on a 2017 RAV4 we found that from the center of the hitch pin hole to the most rearward part of the rear bumper measured 3-1/2".

With all of that information I can confirm that the Thule T2 Prop XTR Bike Rack # TH83JV will fit perfectly with this rack.

I included videos showing both of the products mentioned being installed on a 2017 Toyota RAV4 for you to take a look at.
