Will The Curt Hitch C34FR62ZY Fit A 2026 Toyota RAV4 Plug-In Hybrid GR Sport?
Updated 11/05/2026 | Published 11/03/2026
Question:
I have a 2026 Toyota RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid GR Sport. Im looking to install a 2-inch receiver to carry three mountain bikes on a 1UP Super Duty platform rack. The total loaded weight would be approximately 200 pounds. I see that Curt lists hitch C34FR62ZY for the 2026 RAV4 Plug-in Hybrid, but Toyota excludes the GR Sport from its factory hitch kit. Can you confirm whether this Curt hitch fits the GR Sport specifically, including bumper and exhaust clearance? And can you confirm whether a three-bike platform rack weighing approximately 200 pounds is an approved application, accounting for the racks extension behind the receiver?

Hi Johnny!
The Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # C34FR62ZY meets all your requirements! It will fit your 2026 RAV4 Plug-In Hybrid GR Sport (it actually fits all versions/models of RAV4 for 2026 and 2027, which I got directly from Curt), has a 2" receiver, and can definitely support your bikes and the rack you are wanting to use. On that last part though, this hitch is technically rated to support up to 675 pounds of tongue weight, but that will be more than your vehicle can handle.
You will want to check your owner's manual to see what kind of tongue weight you can actually handle safely. If it isn't listed, and it almost never is nowadays, you will want to use the towing capacity of the non-GR-Sport model and your tongue weight will be 10% of that. From what I could find, that towing capacity is 3,500 pounds, so that would mean your tongue weight capacity is 350 pounds. You could also contact a local Toyota dealer to confirm this (if they balk at the GR Sport part, just leave that part out of the conversation as the frame is the same with or without that package).
The only thing I can't speak on is the bumper clearance. The exhaust will not be an issue (I've seen Curt hitches installed with aftermarket Borla exhaust systems and they are beefier than the factory exhaust), but there may (emphasis on may) need to be trimming for it to fit under the bumper properly. That said, we haven't done an install on a GR Sport yet, so I can't say that for sure. I do have a couple images of this hitch installed for you to check out that will help, but from looking at pictures of the GR Sport bumper, I don't think you will need to trim anything.
What kind of mountain bikes are you going to be carrying? I grew up riding GT bikes in the mountains of Southern California, but I hear that brand is basically gone now. Which is kind of a bummer.

Don’t know about the sport model, but fit my 2026 RAV4 XLE Premium without a hitch. (No pun intended). Need two people to install. Took my friend and I about 15 minutes.
