Question:
I need the 4 frame bolts that will work to mount a trailer hitch on a 2018 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid. The nuts are welded into the frame from the factory so I only need the bolts/hardware. I believe they are M12 40mm but Im not sure and cannot find them at a Toyota dealer and no one knows the exact size/dimensions of the bolts. Hopefully youre able to help. Thank you.
