Hey John, thanks for reaching out!

The hardware that comes with the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13416 should be torqued to 86 ft-lbs for installation on your 2022 Toyota RAV4. It's always good to double check the torque spec with the instructions that came with your hitch though.

I'm linking an installation video along with the instructions for your reference.
