DIY - Draw-Tite Trailer Hitch Installation Toyota 2009 Rav4

This DIY is for a 2009 Toyota Rav4 Trailer Hitch 



Today is only for the hitch I have another video of the trailer hitch wiring .

Remove hitch from box and make sure it is for your vehicle . 




On the drivers side of the vehicle will be your tow hook and on the passenger side of your vehicle will be 2 open slots where muffler is located .






When removing the bolts make sure you keep the tow hook cause you will need to reinstall it again .

Then you will soapy the rubber isolators for your muffler , Carefully slide the hooks out then use something to hold the pipe up in the air while you install the hitch .




Once side will have 3 bolts and the other side will have two , Make sure knobby side of the washer is grasping the hitch as in photo . That will keep your bolts from backing out . 




Make sure you put the hook back on the drivers side torque bolts , Put rubber isolator back for muffler pipe and you are finished .

Your hitch will come with a paper to tell you how much torque is needed on the bolts . 





This doesn't mean I can pull anything I want but I bought a highest class that can be install on this vehicle . 

This is a Draw-Tite Tube Trailer Hitch .
