Hi Lori, that’s a great question and I completely understand wanting to be sure before ordering, especially with the hybrid since it can feel like those models sometimes have different mounting points.

I was able to confirm that the Curt part # C77MJ is designed to fit all 2019 RAV4 models, including the Hybrid that is not the Prime, so you won’t run into issues with alignment or fitment. It uses the factory mounting locations on the frame just like the gas models, so it’s a true custom fit and installs without any modifications or surprises.

What are you planning to carry with your RAV4, bikes, a cargo basket, or a small trailer? If you are towing a small trailer, you may need wiring, just let me know!

Using bike rack for e-bikes. No need to wire at this point I think. Thanks for the information!

@LoriA Wiring would be for a trailer if you were towing. That's awesome, what kind of e-bikes do you have? We have the Q life racers and really like them.

@HeatherA I have a gazelle which I really love! My hitch just arrived, and the box is completely trashed with parts sticking out in a couple of places. I haven’t opened it, but I’m really concerned about this and what parts might be missing given the number of holes in the box. What do you think I should do?

@Lori, My hitch arrived in the same condition, the mounting arms were sticking completely through the flimsy box, and the hitch receiver had also penetrated the box. I was also worried about the hardware being missing. Fortunately the hardware bag was still in the box. There were some scratches that I touched up with paint to prevent future rust. The hitch fit perfectly on my, super easy installation. That packaging was a total failure.

I have a2025 RAV4 Hybrid. The hitch packaging is a badge of honor. All the hitches come that way and if it can survive shipping in a crappy carton, imagine how well it will perform for you! This hitch is some of the best money I ever spent.

The hitch will fit great with no modifications. I have mine on a 2022 RAV4 Limited Hybrid. One thing to keep in mind if you will be connecting a bike rack is the weight distribution. As you add weight to the rack, it will pull the hitch down and this will raise the headlight aim points. Our vehicles have very bright headlights and adding more weight over the back end will raise the issue of what appears to having your high beams on whenever you are connecting something to your hitch that has weight of 100 lbs. or more. The hitch is robust and works great. Shipping it in a cardboard box is the best option, otherwise you would be trying to figure out what to do with the steel shipping container and the increased cost .

Hey Adrian! The higher capacity for the B&W #BW47BR and Curt #C77MJ comes from the construction. The B&W hitch weighs 45 lbs and then the Curt and Trailer Mate #TMT54FR both weigh 32 lbs. The Trailer Mate does sit just a tad higher compared…
