I just installed one of these on a RAV4. You don't need to remove the muffler. Just cover the chrome exhaust tips with a cloth to prevent scratching. @2:02 also never scratch the paint when removing the sticker. The paint is a barrier against rust. I guarantee those scratch marks will turn into rust over time.

So much more simple to install this hitch compared to the Toyota hitch which requires removal of the mud flaps, rear bumper, and rear light assembly and cutting the rear bumper to provide for the installed hitch. A much quicker install for the U-Haul hitch assembly.

This is a Draw-Tite Hitch. It is Installed by a U-Haul Hitch Pro. There are several Hitch Options with Varying degrees of difficulty. Check out this new Hitch From B&W currently only available at U-Haul. It has the Highest Rating out there! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/bruWhdKG2bzId6M.html

My towing capacity for Rav4 XLE is 1500 lbs without towing package (not sure how to tow 1500 lbs without a hitch)and 3500 if it came with towing package. Will a hitch installation increase it to 3500 lbs? I've read some conflicting info online but most suggest yes?
@ethanreed3718 Жыл бұрын
I think the towing capacity is more determined by the engine/transmission combo you have. If you have the hybrid with CVT it can't pull as much weight as the non-hybrid with the gear driven transmission. At least, that's as far as I understand it.
@ginamyers8582 Жыл бұрын
The 1500 is more than likely the load capacity inside your RAV4. Adding the hitch bumps it to 3500 combined of inside the vehicle load and what's on the hitch.
@joem88756 ай бұрын
@@ethanreed3718the hybrid is rated to tow more than the non hybrid. The ecvt is very capable of towing and is actually better than a normal transmission for this. Regenerative braking is helpful. The hybrid produces much more torque and HP than the non hybrid rav. Please be informed before posting misinformation

It is due to the transmission fluid cooler on the models that can tow 3500 lbs. Also has a bigger radiator.
