2019+ RAV4 OEM Toyota Hitch Install - Increase Your Clearance and Departure Angle!

Walkthrough of removing the bumper and installed the OEM Toyota hitch. I uninstalled the Curt hitch in the process. I effectively increased my Clearance by ~3.75" (from 9" to 12.75") and my Departure Angle by ~4.6° (from 15.9° to 20.5°). Disclaimer, this new departure angle isn't considering the exhaust tips. And I'm also rocking Eibach Springs which offer a 1.2" lift.

I needed to do this to avoid further scraping of my hitch accessories. With the Curt, my extenders for towing were hanging too low and would scrape on dips, even around city areas/parking lots.
