Hey Edward,
The Firestone Coil-Rite Air Helper Springs # F4174 is a fit for a 2013 Toyota RAV4 and can help improve your ride quality while towing. These air springs essentially just expand and prevent the coils from compressing. When loaded down this can help prevent sag and will help with handling for smoother ride quality. When unloaded I would air the springs down otherwise without the the weight your suspension can start to feel stiff and in some cases can be bouncier. Are you hauling a bit of weight around or are you just looking to improve your unloaded ride quality?
