Expert Reply:

The best hitch for your 2023 Toyota RAV4 Prime is going to be the etrailer Hitch item # e23ZR. This is our house brand which is going to be the most affordable and it does not skip on quality. This 2" hitch is made in the USA, it has a 4,000 lbs towing capacity, and a 600 lbs maximum tongue weight. So plenty of capabilities for both a trailer and handling accessories like your bike rack.

I really like this hitch because the crossbar is concealed behind the rear bumper and the 2" receiver is all that is visible. This not only helps with ground clearance but it looks better.

I have linked an installation video below along with a couple of pictures so you can see what this hitch looks like once installed.

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

I also recommend using the No-Drill Mount Bracket item # 18136 and the item # C42CR to secure the 4-way connector to your hitch. This will put it in an easy to reach spot and prevent the risk of it falling onto the road.
