Very fast shipping! Came 2 days after ordering. Hitch is of good quality and fit the RAV4 perfectly. Was able to install it by myself in about 30 minutes - most of the time was spent trying to remove the car's bracket - they factory had really torqued that sucker down! Installing the hitch was easy if you put the hitch under the vehicle, and then prop it up with the box that it was shipped with.

The bolts did not have any loctite or threadlocker applied, so I'd recommend that you apply some before installing it. The hitch seems solid enough, and would probably tow up to 3500 lbs fine, but it would have been better if Curt had designed the hitch with more contact points for more bolts (like the OEM from Toyota) - the RAV4 frame has at least two-three other bolt holes that could be used on each side (one on lateral side, and two on the back side - this would reduce risk of damage to the subframe especially if you're using a trailer that would shift sideways, etc.).

Had to use a pry bar against the gas tank to get the last bolt lined up, and I could only turn the bolt above the muffler 1/8 turn at a time. Regardless- nice fit and finish, shipping was quick, and it went on relatively easy. Now, if the wiring was so easy...

Install was more difficult than anticipated only because
the four holes for attaching the hitch were at the 'limits'
of the bolt holes in the frame. I had to use a 'pry screwdriver'
to align the holes. Once the bolts were started and tightened,
the hitch was very secure.

I bought this trailer hitch for my 2008 Toyota RAV4. True to form the hitch arrived in 48 hours which gave me plenty of time before my trip to install the hitch.
I used a bottle jack to get the hitch close to the holes, then my wife got under the truck and turned the first bolt while I aligned the hitch—it's pretty heavy, but SOLID. Once one bolt was engaged I got under and torqued the hitch in place. Looks good and does a very nice job.

One thing, the hitch is not the one featured on the site. That one is for a Nissan. Why not get a photo of the actual hitch for the RAV4?
