Rav4 Gen 5 - Curt Trailer Hitch Install **Solo DIY!! [No Muffler Drop]** 

Hi. I am simply following the manufacturer's install instructions. Not sure how to answer your question. Perhaps you should ask Curt directly for a proper explanation. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching!

Hi you can go to Curt's web site to check your model of Rav4. Thanks for watching!

I did that more to clean the threads not as a lube. I checked after 2 months and they were still tight. Thanks

Hi, this is a 4 cylinder, but this Trail edition has a towing capacity of 3500 pounds. Some day I plan on getting a small trailer for a boat, but for now it's just there as a recovery point if I ever needed it as there are no tow hooks on this model. Thanks for watching and the kind words!

@@Jet_Finder mine only has a 1500 lb towing capacity so I'm still debating on getting a hitch or not again nice video though.

$200 for a tow point to get you out, or to pull out a buddy

Hi. Try supporting at both ends or ask for help. I put in 1 passenger bolt first just enough to hold it up and then went to the driver side. It does take some wiggling around but eventually it will go in. Screw on the bolts just a little to hold it then when they are all started you can tighten them down.

@@Jet_Finder Thank you. my rav 4 (2019) passenger side so on our vehicle we have It has a tow hook. Do I have to remove the tow hook and work on it?

Yes I saw another video and they removed the tow hook. Your hitch will become the new tow hook

@@Jet_Finder Thank you!

How about for the wirings?

Thanks!
