Hey Horace. The EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch item # EH97FR is going to be the best option for your 2023 Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. This 2" class III hitch has a black powder coat matte finish. The entire crosstube and supports mount behind your RAV4's rear bumper cover. This leaves only the 2" receiver and safety chain loops exposed. The ground clearance is 13-1/4" from the inside of the top of the 2" receiver to the ground. The hitch pin hole sits 3-1/2" from the edge of your rear bumper.
I've attached a couple of pictures and linked an installation video we made so you can see what this hitch looks like and how to get it setup.
