Does Trailer Hitch for 2024 Toyota RAV4 Have Mounting Bracket for Trailer Wiring
Updated 02/17/2026 | Published 06/15/2024
Question:
Does the DT97YR have a mounting bracket already on it for a 4 pole flat trailer connector? We have a new 2024 RAV4 Hybrid XSE. Deciding between the E23ZR and the DT97YR. Looking at the T One Vehicle Wiring Harness w/ 4 pole flat trailer connector as well as the 4 pole mounting bracket 18144 with either the universal short bracket 18140 or the long bracket 18136. Want to make sure I’m ordering the right hitch, wiring harness, mounting bracket and universal bracket to work with our new car and that the foot activated liftgate still works. Thanks for any suggestions!

Hey Tally, so the trailer wiring that fits your 2024 Toyota RAV4 like the Tekonsha part # 118801 doesn't need a mounting bracket as the harness is designed to store in the rear hatch area of the vehicle when not in use and then pull out only when needed. That is why hitches like the Draw Tite part # DT97YR do not have trailer wiring mounting brackets on them.
I really like the Draw Tite hitch though as the hitch opening portion is removable so that it can be totally invisible when not needed.

Hey Tally, how did things go with the Draw-Tite hitch and the Tekonsha wiring on your RAV4 Hybrid? Did the hidden design and rear hatch wiring setup work the way you wanted? Your update could make it easier for others setting up the same vehicle.
