Thanks for such a quick turnaround. That's pretty close to my current setup. I wonder if geometry might work to my benefit since I think the RAV4 has more car behind the rear wheel axle which is the pivot point. Plus due to the rear mounted spare I need to keep the rack further out so pedals clear the spare. Would you be willing to try and measure how far behind the rear axle the end of the receiver is? And also where the end of the receiver is in relation to the rear hatch?The bottom of the Curt hole is 10 7/8" (see photo).
The one on the right has the REAR BUMPER TRIM W/HITCH part KB8W-V3-300 which is the exact oem combo I want! The rear bumper trim does cover the black cutout I believe? If the black bumper was cut smaller than the silver bumper trim cutout then it can cover the black bumper cutout if it looks crappy when I cut it to install the oem class 1 hitch?View attachment 296743
