Question:

I am looking at installing a trailer hitch and associated wiring on my 2021 Rav4 Hybrid. It appears all the wiring kits and a flat 4 terminal that rests inside of the vehicle and is pulled outside when used. I would want to mount the terminal outside of the vehicle. Do you have a bracket or holder I can use to mount the 4-pole terminal outside of the vehicle?

Expert Reply:

To add a hitch to your 2021 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch item # e23ZR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your RAV4 with included hardware.

Since you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C56434 and a ball mount kit item # C45534.

I have linked a couple of installation videos below.

To attach this harness to your hitch instead of storing it in your rear cargo area, you will want the No-Drill Mount for Electrical Mounting Bracket item # 18140 and the Mounting Bracket 4-Pole Flat item # 18144.
