## Description

Whatever your task at hand -- whether it's launching that boat before daybreak, setting up your camper before the rush or getting a final load to the dump before close -- CURT class 3 trailer hitches offer the strength needed for serious towing. They make it easy to hitch up and Bring It, offering a vehicle-specific fit and the weight capacity to handle a variety of trailers. Custom class 3 hitches are the most common type of receiver hitch for pickup trucks and SUVs. Because of their weight range, they are also found on full-size cars, crossovers and minivans. Each custom-fit class 3 hitch package is made for vehicle-specific mounting. This particular kit fits certain years of the Toyota RAV4 (see application info to verify vehicle compatibility). It provides a weight carrying capacity of 4,000 lbs. GTW and 400 lbs. TW. CURT class 3 trailer hitches are typically used to attach and haul utility trailers, boat trailers, campers, snowmobile or ATV haulers and more (NOTE: Never exceed the lowest-rated towing component). Each class 3 hitch has a 2" receiver tube and is tested in accordance with SAE J684 for safety. To ensure that CURT class 3 receiver hitches have what it takes for serious trailering, they are designed using a hands-on approach and are constructed with rugged, high-strength steel and precise welding. We also protect our class 3 hitches in a co-cured finish of liquid Bonderite and black powder coat for superior resistance to rust, chipping and UV damage. Material: Carbon Steel, Fitment details: 1996-2005 Toyota RAV4

Review: Perfect for my RAV4 - A very good looking and excellent quality hitch at a great price. I even got a $5 discount at the time! Fairly easy and fast installation for one person if you have a box or something to set it on while attaching it to the vehicle frame. I happened to have a heavy-duty step stool at exactly the right height, so I got lucky. Otherwise, it's typically too heavy and awkward for one person to hold while attaching. The biggest hurdle was installing one of the bolts in the confined spacing of the tailpipe, as posted by other buyers. Same issue. Impossible to use a ratchet for that bolt, so it was time consuming and tedious to use an open-end or boxed-end wrench. But that's a Toyota design issue, not a Curt design problem.
Review: If you have an older RAV4, this is the solution for towing! - Absolutely perfect fit! The quality of construction and fitment is impressive - especially since I purchased this unit from desertcart's Warehouse Deals at a substantial savings. I was worried about the possibility of the fine-thread metric bolts not being in the package (M12 X 1.25 X 50mm), but everything was in the package, including the instruction sheet. The box was a little torn up, but given the weight and the awkward configuration of the receiver, I wasn't surprised - and there wasn't a scratch on it, in spite of the damaged packaging! I had prepped the threads on the vehicle, so installation was without incident - and with only four bolts needed, it only took about 15 minutes. The rear tailgate on our RAV4 just clears the receiver itself, contrary to the experience of other reviewers. Black and shiny, and tucked out of the way, it looks like an OEM part of the vehicle. Granted, that one bolt location that is blocked by the tailpipe can be a pain, but a short board levered it out of the way to allow access with the ratchet extension. The wire harness I used was by the same manufacturer, and installed easily - I'll be looking for more Curt products in the future...

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I saved a lot of money and can now two my Harbor Frieght trailer with my Rav4
*by R***M on March 6, 2024*

This review is for "CURT 13524 Class 3 Trailer Hitch, 2-Inch Receiver" I had a CURT trailer hitch assembly on my Toyota Highlander and loved having the ability to tow almost anything with it. When I replaced the Highlander with a Rav4 it was the first thing I purchased because it was a no-brainer. I use a bicycle carrier and a luggage tray as well as sometimes haul a trailer. This was a must have and too easy to install. Just remove the 4 existing bolts that hold those original brackets that come on the SUV and install the hitch in the same holes. Took about 15 minutes by myself. OK, I cheated and did use a battery powered impact wrench, otherwise it would have take 20-25 minutes. I wouldn't be without this hitch.
