Question:
Hello, I got a 2010 RAV4 from a family member who had also bought a hitch from you all but lost the bolts a while ago, so it was never installed. We finally found the catalog number and were wondering if you guys sold replacement mounting hardware for e98864? I found the manual and it shows us what we need but I dont know which bolt material is best rated for this product. Thanks

Hey Ne, so we carry replacement hardware for all of the hitches we carry including the part # e98864 with the part # RHK. But for a hitch like yours where it's literally 4 bolts that hard to justify cost. So I would recommend getting 4 M12-1.25 x 35mm bolts in Grade 5 with matching conical toothed washers at a local hardware store.
