Cost and finish. The Curt item # C13416 and the etrailer Hitch item # e23ZR are both manufactured by Curt to the same specifications and capacities. The etrailer item # e23ZR is our house brand hitch and my personal preference due to the flat matte finish. This coating tends to blend in better beneath vehicles than the glossy finish on the Curt item # C13416.

Both the Curt item # C13416 and the etrailer item # e23ZR hitches are confirmed to fit a 2021 Toyota RAV4. These hitches are custom fit and bolt to your Toyota with included hardware. They are class III hitches with 2" receivers that have a 4,000 lbs towing capacities and 600 lbs maximum tongue weights.

I recommend going with the most affordable option. I have linked installation videos below for both hitches to help you get yours set up.

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