Best 2010 Toyota RAV4 Sport Hitch for Ground Clearance

Question

Question:

Will this fit a 2010 Rav4 sport trim? I have neither a spare tire storage on the back or underneath the vehicle. I am prioritizing ground clearance. Which hitch model should I choose? Thanks

Hey Sarah, thanks for reaching out!

For best ground clearance, you'll want to install the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver # 306-X7152 on your 2010 Toyota RAV4 Sport because the EcoHitch brand is the only one with a hidden crosstube for your vehicle, which means it has better ground clearance than the other options. If you check out the attached photo a customer sent in you'll get a good idea of what this will look like on your RAV4.

What do you plan on using the hitch receiver for? I'd be happy to make additional recommendations if necessary!
