Recommended Trailer Hitch for a 2023 Toyota RAV4
Question:
2023 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid. Looking for difference in ground clearance between the Curt and Eco Hitch. And does the Eco Hitch truly require cutting the bumper? Thanks, Jeff

Expert Reply:
To answer your question plainly Jeff, no, cutting of the fascia is not truly required. This is only required on the EcoHitch and HiddenHitch options because they are marketed as a "hidden" type of hitch. So, they're going to sit farther back compared to a standard hitch hiding the cross-tube, giving you the "from-the-factory" look.
If that is not a deal breaker for you, then I'd just go with the Curt # C13416. It is virtually the same as the Ecohitch, it's going to stick out more and it's going to be much easier to install, but it is going to have a bit lower of a weight capacity than the EcoHitch # EH97FR.
