Yes, it will Lloyd and congrats on the new RAV4. The Kuat Transfer V2 Bike Rack item # KU24FR fits 2" class III hitches like our etrailer item # e23ZR. If your 2025 Toyota RAV4 didn't come with a hitch, I highly recommend our item # e23ZR. This hitch is custom fit and bolts to your Toyota with included hardware.
I have linked an installation video below along with a couple of pictures so you can see what this hitch looks like once installed.
If you are planning on towing you will also need a wiring harness item # C56434 and a ball mount kit item # C45534.
I recommend using the No-Drill Mount Bracket item # 18136 and the item # C42CR to secure the 4-way connector to your hitch. This will put it in an easy to reach spot and prevent the risk of it falling onto the road.
