Dana, it comes down to budget, capacity needs, and clearance when looking at hitch options for your 2024 RAV4 Prime. The Trailer Mate 2" Hitch # TMT54FR is the most affordable of the bunch and still gives you a clean, concealed look with 3,500 lbs towing and 350 lbs tongue weight, ideal for bike racks, cargo carriers, and small trailers.

The etrailer hitch # e84ZV bumps tongue weight to 675 lbs and has a slightly tougher finish, while EcoHitch # EH97FR goes up to 750 lbs and tucks in tighter for maximum clearance (extra 1" of ground clearance than the other two options) with a higher price tag. If you don’t need the extra capacity or the last inch of clearance, the Trailer Mate delivers solid performance without overspending. Which matters more for you - price, weight rating, or ground clearance?

Fellow shoppers, if you’ve used more than one of these hitches, which did you prefer and why?
