Yes, all of the trailer hitches listed in our fitguide for your 2022 Toyota RAV4 will fit and be pretty similar. They all feature a hidden crosstube so only the receiver is available - this gives you a better looking setup while also helping to promote better ground clearance.

The 2 best options to check out are the etrailer # e23ZR and Draw-Tite # DT98GR hitches. The etrailer has a matte black finish that does a great job of matching black trim on vehicles and helping to hide any scratches from road debris, while the Draw-Tite has a removeable receiver so you can have a factory look when you don't need to use the hitch receiver.

If you're in the market for a bike rack I highly recommend the Kuat Transfer V2 # KU74FR because it looks great and is easy to use with the U-Shaped frame. I've attached a review video of this on a 2022 RAV4 along with some hitch installation videos for you to check out!
