Best Class 3 Trailer Hitch For 2021 Toyota RAV4
Updated 10/22/2025 | Published 04/07/2025 >
Question:
I had been intending to purchase a etrailer branded class III hitch for my 2021 rav4. I had previously found it on your site but now cannot find it. Is it out of stock, and if so when do you expect to have it back?

Hello Matt, thanks for reaching out. It looks like the etrailer Class 3 Hitch for the 2021 RAV4 is no longer available from the manufacturer, which is why it was taken off the site. At this time there is no ETA for if/when we would be getting more stock.
What we do have available is the TowSmart Trailer Hitch Receiver # TS42VR which is a virtually identical class 3 hitch. It has a 4,000 lb towing capacity and 600 lb tongue weight rating.
Take a look at the install video I linked below and feel free to reach out with any questions.
