Really appreciate this video. I don’t think I will go the OEM hitch due to the complexities of installation, this video helped make my mind. If I had the adventure model I think I would, but with a standard hybrid model I can’t tow 4000 lbs anyways (1750) and will go for the slightly lower eco hitch.

Thanks for posting another great video. I have been wondering how to install a OEM Towing Hitch and now I know. I subscribed to your channel to see what else I could learn.

Thank you for the video. Just to update everyone, you must remove the bumper, since you will be replacing the aluminum part of the bumper with the hitch. The hitch also replaces part of the vehicle tie down. Both the aluminum bumper and steel tie down can be recycled. I think it could be sold on e-bay. One important note is that the instruction manual is printed in a way that you must copy the page before cutting out the template. It took me a while to figure it out. The only other thing that was a bit difficult was trimming the section where the two-piece bumper comes together. It's important to do a good job so the trim piece fits nicely. I used a pair of scissors for cutting remote control car bodies. It's also easier to cut the bumper with sheet metal snips and drill holes in the corners where you plan to start cutting. Good luck! Mine turned out great. Saved me 450.00 at the dealership.

My dealership just quoted me $1500 :(

This was a huge help, thank you! Watching this ahead of time proved to myself that I could do it. The lowest quote I got for labor was $900, so this saved me a ton of money! I did accidently cut too high on the bumper, but oh well. A tip for anyone reading this: my jigsaw worked perfectly for cutting the hole...just needed someone else to hold the bumper in place.

I like how careful you are not scratching things up.

Thank you for this excellent video! It enabled us to have the confidence to install the OEM hitch on Saturday! Which we did! One thing for DIY to consider 1) make sure the bumper cover at the end is over the hitch receiver chain loops - we found that being underneath the vehicle and pulling it over the trailer receiver/hitch allowed to apply proper force to guided bumper cover in proper location. One thing to note, the wiring harness bracket prohibits bumper cover to rest in proper location - so can see bump out. 2) make sure that you add flexible trim cover starting at bottom bumper so seam is not visible. 3) cutting out hole in bumper cover seems to be after thought vs sane manufacturing design decision. Toyota needs to make number interface easier for hitch install. This install I did was for Rav4 Prime

Used this video to reference during my installation today. Amazing help, thank you. Now for the wiring....

Great video! I recently installed an OEM hitch on my rav4 hybrid, and this video was very helpful.

Don't buy the Curt hitch unless you want to drag the bottom of it every time you go through a dip. The extra clearance the higher mounted receivers give is critical.

I installed a Curt hitch on our 2024 about a month ago, and have driven the car 3,000 miles already, with about 1/3 of that with a bike rack hanging off the back. Haven't dragged or scraped on anything.

Besides removing the tail lights this is the best step by step video for 2019-2021 rav4 oem tow hitch self install on KZread. Especially when you buy it and you only get page 8 out of 18 from the Toyota instructions ha. This video helped me finish it.

This hitch should of been a factory installed option along w/ tow prep package. Installed a curt hitch & it bottoms out due to being too low.

Thank you. I was looking at a Curt hitch and they have it installed below the number. Too low. I like how the Oem is higher even though you have to cut the bumper. No bottoming out 🤞

thanks for the video, made my install a breeze.. I left mud guards attached to rear bumper, and removed it as a whole unit, there was no need to remove the taillights.

Thank you for the video. Installed my hitch yesterday afternoon with much more confidence. For anyone attempting this install, note that the template provided for the cutout has two issues. One, you have to photo copy one side to be able to attach it together for the full pattern, and two, the measurements in the directions show 15mm on top and 98mm on each side which was wrong. Its 98mm to the center line, not the edges, and I have no idea where they got 15mm on top from. Line the bottom edge up and all works out. If you are not installing the wiring harness plug on the side, you can cut a simple rectangle like shown in this video. I marked the right side of the template, then flipped it over and marked the left side so it was symmetrical. To cut it out I used an oscillating tool, then a pair of bull nose cutters to nip away the seam on the inside so the edging would fit. When removing the bumper cover from, I used a trim removal tool to open up the channel so the tabs pulled out much easier but I did manage to break one of the green clips when removing the cover. I was able to use a small screw and a washer to repair it though as I was not able to find a replacement for it.

I wish I would have seen this comment before installing mine. So annoying that the template shows a spot to line up with the bottom of the bumper, but at the same time says the template should be 15mm from the molded edge in the bumper. The picture of the cutout in the instructions shows the cutout pretty high, like 15mm from the molded edge, so that's what I went with. I thought maybe the TRD bumper was slightly different and that's where my issue was, but now I have like 1.5" of cutout above the hitch 😑

About to embark on installing the OEM hitch on my 2021RAV4 Prime; great video. A couple questions: 1) do you have to really need to unplug battery terminals in engine or in the luggage compartment? 2) During the video as you pulling off the bumper, you talked about a green pin...what is that and do I need to be extra careful with it?

Be sure to check what size the nuts and bolts are before you begin install. Went into thinking I had everything but the bolts were 19 mm as opposed to the 17 mm they claim to be in the package.

Does the bottom of the bumper valance bow down a bit because of the harness light connector bar? Looks like that piece pushes out the bumper slightly.

Мне предложили за 720$ в Москву привезти, дороговато. У Вас нет выходов на доставку в Россию?

Is it me or does the OEM hitch seem like way more work than the aftermarket ones? The aftermarket ones don't require having to take apart bumper, lights, etc.

After market sit lower. I installed one but I'm only going to use it for hauling bikes so it's good enough.

@@MorozovAutomotive thank you for responding. apparently the manual that I had in the set (despite it being 18 pgs out of 18) did not come with another page. It was on the same side so I had to draw it on a separate paper. Nonetheless, your video was amazing thank you!!

No problem. I believe we did make the copy of one side of the page as well. Glad the video was helpful.

I had to make a copy of the back of the paper. Took me about 30 min to figure it out.

Just had a headache seeing you struggling like that.

That's because we speak from our heart ;)

There are 8 bolts but still only four that hold it to the frame. You would have been better off with a bitch from e trailer!

Wow, after watching your video to install the hitch, I'll be letting TOYOTA do it for me... HEECH install is way too complicated... 😊

What is a HEECH... I need to install a HITCH,. I'm not sure if your video of a HEECH is the same for my assembly...??? I don't even know what a HEECH IS...??
