Question:

What 2-inch hitch will give me the highest ground clearance on my 2021 Toyota RAV4?

Expert Reply:

As far as 2-inch hitches that are available for your 2021 Toyota RAV4, the hitch that has the greatest ground clearance is the etrailer Trailer Hitch - 2" # e23ZR. It has a ground clearance measurement of about 10-1/4 inches. We haven't had a chance to install the EcoHitch # EH97FR, but given the way the hitch installs, I'd expect the ground clearance to be similar to that of the other of the etrailer hitch.

If you'll be using the hitch for towing, you'll also want to add a trailer wiring harness, part # C56434, a ball mount like # D-28, a # PC3 hitch pin and a trailer ball like # 19260 for a 1-7/8 or # 63845 for a 2 inch.

I've linked an installation video of the etrailer hitch to walk you through the process.
