Hey Robert, thanks for reaching out!

The Curt T-Connector Vehicle Wiring Harness # C56434 doesn't short out often enough to have a verified percentage that goes out. This has the newer Curt module so it will still work great. These types of wiring will generally take a professional about an hour to install.

I recommend going with the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e23ZR for your 2025 Toyota RAV4 because it has the hidden crosstube for clearance, and the matte black finish for durability.

If you plan on using this for towing, I recommend picking up the Adjustable Ball Mount # e66PR, which is able to work with a wide variety of trailers.

Attached are some videos of these parts being installed. Please let me know if you have any other questions!
