How to Select a Trailer Hitch
Match hitch class to the door sticker and the live card before you shop a heavier trailer than the vehicle can honestly tow.
Watch on YouTubeShopping a trailer hitch for a Toyota RAV4 Hybrid in Canada? Start with the door-sticker year, then open CURT 12200. That Class 2 hitch uses a one and one quarter inch receiver and the live card names listed two thousand nineteen through two thousand twenty-five RAV4 years, the two thousand nineteen RAV4 Hybrid line, and listed RAV4 Prime years. Bike racks, light cargo trays, and modest bumper-pull trailers are the usual ask when the Toyota sticker agrees. Confirm ratings on the live product card. Canada orders often ship free on qualifying baskets, so confirm the cart note before you check out.
All four videos are from the official CURT YouTube channel (@curtmfg). Use them for class selection, install habits, wiring basics, and ball-mount height before you dig into the product cards below.

Watch on YouTubeCURT 12200 is a Class 2 hitch with a one and one quarter inch receiver path that names listed Toyota RAV4 years from two thousand nineteen through two thousand twenty-five on the live card, plus the two thousand nineteen RAV4 Hybrid line and listed RAV4 Prime years. Read the fitment line carefully so you do not cart a hitch meant for an earlier RAV4 generation.
The live title rates the hitch for three thousand five hundred pounds gross trailer weight and three hundred fifty pounds tongue weight.

CURT 56434 is the stocked four-flat harness that names listed two thousand nineteen through two thousand twenty-five RAV4 years and listed RAV4 Prime years on the live card. Confirm whether your Hybrid year still appears before you order lights.
