DIY - Trailer WIre Kit installation 2009 Toyota Rav4

This is for a 2009 Toyota Rav4 Trailer Installation Kit .
Part #118412





Removing all the carpets and trunk area to freely install the wire kit - Then you start with the back of the plastic protector 






Removing the bolts and screws on the side panel then gently pull away from the vehicle - This way when you wire up you can cross the brake light wires from left to right 




On each side you can add the center connector - Remove the plug then re plug into the by pass wires 




As you make sure that the box is on the driver side of the vehicle - Tuck and hide your wires then you will see a rubber plug and slice a hole it in to that when you wire up to the battery that will be your access hole . 






Ground your wires and crimp the main wire then start sliding all your wiring in the hole that you removed the plugged from 








Now travel down the driver side of the frame and tie strap the wire making it safe from falling or rubbing on anything - Take your time 





Then with the fuse you need to cut it in the middle again hide wire - crimp your hook then connect it to the positive side of the battery 



Once you have everything wired up and secured then you can put everything back - Use Dielectric Grease for your plug - Wrap it up securely so it doesn't rub then test wire to trailer .

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 .
