2019+ RAV4 OEM Toyota Hitch Install - Increase Your Clearance and Departure Angle!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 кві 2021
- Walkthrough of removing the bumper and installed the OEM Toyota hitch. I uninstalled the Curt hitch in the process. I effectively increased my Clearance by ~3.75" (from 9" to 12.75") and my Departure Angle by ~4.6° (from 15.9° to 20.5°). Disclaimer, this new departure angle isn't considering the exhaust tips. And I'm also rocking Eibach Springs which offer a 1.2" lift.
I needed to do this to avoid further scraping of my hitch accessories. With the Curt, my extenders for towing were hanging too low and would scrape on dips, even around city areas/parking lots.

I was going to say this looks terrible... until you put the rubber trim piece on. I was worried, but after all is said and done ended up looking really clean. Nice job dude!
So after watching this I have decided to buy a toyota OEM hitch. But didn't take off plastic bumper instead I too a small 3/8 ratchet and unbolted the aluminum push beam. This was very hard but I did get it done. Start to finish was about 1 1/2 and that included removing the curt hitch.
I'm glad I found your video; was about to get the Curt hitch. Thank you for taking the time to share this one with us.
Play safe from Elliot Lake, Ontario, Canada.
Thank you for the mounting of the 7 pin connector up high.
Thanks for this bro. I just returned my Curt which has a CAT4 3000lb rating for the Toyota part, never even took it out of the box.
Keep up with the rav4 videos bro! Héroe you got a subscriber from México!!! Love your Set Up
Thanks my dude! Will do 🤠
Great work. I just installed mine, and this video helped a great deal, thanks!
Good stuff. I totally support you getting a drone to shoot dope driving/adventure vid-yos.
"Don't make fun of my quarter-inch hardware" is what I used to say to the girls in high school.
Just did this on my 21 prime SE, see my notes on Klafen's thread. We just popped out the lower insert, no need to remove bumper
Different models have different bumper setups. Mine required removing the whole bumper as it’s one piece.
Right! Necessary on some, and the opo out valance can be an option for others..thanks Caleb, digging your mods. I'd like to do that front bumper..or hire you! Do you know of any RAV4 designated mounts/bumpers out there now? Thanks bud!
21 SE Prime with Toyota hitch on the way. I'd like to see your notes on NOT removing the bumper. I didn't see Kalfin's thread. Thx
Dumb question but the aluminum bumper doesn't go back on right? Its just replaced by the OEM hitch
Correct
Best explained vid out there !! Bravo and thanks 🙏🙏👌👌
Agreed!
I trimmed the 7way connector plate and it is now no taller than the hitch opening itself when mounted. It was pita cuz I just used pliers and twisting motion but it turned out better as the cutting of the bumper will be almost the same as per the instructions
Nice video, thank you. Do you know what would be the added wight to the car from installing the hitch?
Well done Video. But viewers want to know what are those Velcro shoes you had on!!
I typically hate high speed install filming stuff, but you did a good job with it
You convinced me to use the Toyota hitch instead of aftermarket- but dude, just take the plug off the bracket and flush mount it right into the bumper.
you are brave. I would have three heart attacks while cutting that brand new bumper
You can grind off the extra screw
Can you post the full list of tools you used for the install?
Great video. Really considered this but went with the TorkLift Eco. Still looks to be level with the exhaust for less $ and easier install.
I read that the Ecohitch has very poor rust protection, how is your hitch after 3 months?
Awesome Job!! Thanx for sharing this 👍🏼Is there a video on the wire harness installation?
this hitch is nicer than the one I made. Also, departure angle is better.
Im stationed at Mcguire AFB wish we lived close to do a meet up im a amateur when it comes to stuff like this ... However I did successfully take my mud flaps off after a quick trip to home depot... a bigger project like this i would not attempt more than likely
How do you know your torque wrench is accurate? I hope you calibrated it! Nice work, the OEM hitch seems to be a cleaner install than others I've seen.
What tires and wheels are you using ?
Did you get it custom painted or is this lunar rock with the video color corrected to make it look more green?
can you share link to the torque wrench you're using? there's multiple options on amazon
Nice work, but am I mistaken that your hitch pin is totally in the way of the 7 way plug the way it shows at @13:00? Have you plugged it to a trailer yet ?
It doesn’t block it at all. Been connecting up just fine to my trailer
@@spaseyota Awesome, it must be a camera angle thing then. Nice job, I am planning to do something similar with my RAV4 prime.
@@Nigthtale did you end up doing this on the rav4 prime? any notes?
did you have and manage to keep the kick sensor?
@@RodrigoRosa I ended up getting the OEM hitch installed by Toyota but I asked them to only do a square hole for the hitch received only and I hid the 7 pin plug behind the bumper, and fixed it with a bolt through the little steel tab that comes with the hitch receiver. When I need the 7-pin harness, I unscrew the bolt and put it back below the bumper through the same hole. Ideally, I would have kept the 7 pin harness inside and let it go through the hatch when needed (which is twice to thrice a year top). Unfortunately, the dealership removed the kick sensor system, but it would be easy to modify to put it back in place. I just never had time to do it in the last two years with the babies to take care of.
@@Nigthtale Thanks for the info. I ended up doing the installation myself of the hitch and the wiring, managed to keep the kick sensor and everything seems to work. I cut using the template and tried around. I have no experience in this, it took me like 9 hours. About an hour of that was because I forgot to plug back in the kick sensor XD So I think you made a wise choice if you have babies to take care of 😅
Nice work! Where can I find that 7pin outlet with the bracket?
Great video. What are you going to be towing with it? I’m about to install mine to tow an A-Liner Ranger.
Thanks for the video. Could you share where to get the trim bezel thing?
I believe the trim is called edge trim or pinch weld. It should be provided with the hitch.
Does this hitch fit a toyota rav4 2016diesel?
Great video !!
What brand of wheels do you have and size of tires
Thanks
How did you get the 7pin connector?
4pin to 7pin adapter
Do you have link for it? Is it just plug and play?

Do you replace the aluminum bumper plate or does the tow bar now act as the bumper plate?
If going with the OEM hitch then yes, the aluminum bar gets replaced. If going with aftermarket bars, then the aluminum bar doesn’t get replaced.
It looks very nice.
well done
Did you put the aluminum bumper back on ?
No, the new hitch replaces the aluminum crush bar
What's the tool you used to cut the bumper?
It's just a basic oscillating multi tool. That one looks like a Dremel. I use a DeWalt but the are lots of good ones.
Hey man, great video! Do you know if this works on the HEV one?
Are you asking about the Prime model? I’m not 100% sure… the one in this video is a Hybrid at least 🤷🏻♂️
@@spaseyota Oh, that's great! No, I was asking about this one, I should have been more specific. Thanks!
How was the curt hitch while you had it
It was fine other than scraping on the ground going over dips
your music at the end is sooooo much louder than the rest of your video
Haha sorry dude
@@spaseyota i love following your build. i was referred to your insta from someone on reddit. i want to do a lot of the things you did to your rav4
I like your boots bro
The hole you cut for the plug looks horrible. You should’ve run your plug up & stored it inside the rear door.
Cool 😎
I agree, It would have been MUCH better to cut a circular hole for the 7 plug to fit through and not use any of the brackets
Holy lock tight, you just need one small dab on the threads and it will spread itself. You are drowning those bolts.
Fair enough.
Good video, way overkill on the loctite application.
For a hitch, I don’t think it matters.
that is way to much lock tight
I love my Curt hitch,its,stronger,built better
No way! Nothing like the oem. 8 bolts on the frame vs 4. The hitch is sturdy they were just forced to label it class 2 to match the towing capacity of the rav4
😂 someone is insecure over his crappy choice of aftermarket.
