I was not able to find anything about the hitch you have fitting a 2011 Toyota RAV4. However, I do have a solution for you. I recommend the Draw-Tite Max-Frame Trailer Hitch Receiver item # 75235. This is a custom fit, class III hitch, with a 2" receiver. It has a maximum gross trailer weight of 4,500 lbs and a maximum tongue weight of 675 lbs.
I also recommend the Tekonsha T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector item # 118412. The T-One connector plugs directly into your Toyota's existing wiring. The powered ModuLite reduces strain on wiring system.
To round out your towing setup I recommend the Curt Towing Starter Kit for 2" Hitches item # C45534. This towing kit will provide you with a 2" Ball, a fixed ball mount with a 3/4" rise and 2" drop, and is rated for up to 7,500 lbs. It also includes a hitch pin and clip, hitch receiver lock with keys, hitch cover, and a storage case.
I have attached a couple of installation videos so you can follow along with the installation process.
