Hey John, if installed correctly there won't be any hitch rattle with the install of the Draw Tite hitch part # 76134 on your 2014 Toyota RAV4. We haven't had any reports of this being a problem either but in off chance it were to happen you can bend the exhaust hangers on your vehicle to allow the exhaust to have a bit more clearance from the exhaust.

Hey John, how did things turn out with the Draw-Tite hitch on your RAV4? Did you notice any exhaust noise after the install? Your update could make it easier for others with the same setup.
