Toyotas are teriffic vehicles, but the Rav-4 isn't really built for heavy duty towing. Heed what the dealer says about weight and distance. If you decide to go ahead with some towing, U-Haul dealers do a nice job installing hitches, but be careful because it can be really hard on your transmission.
If it's a newer vehicle and still has plenty of value, you might want to consider renting a larger U-Haul truck for your stuff and put a one of the car dollies behind to pull the Rav-4 and protect it from damage.

my 86 y/o father is still driving and the family thinks he should not be. It's really not safe anymore.?

I believe since I had a Rav4L that this is covered in the owners manual or call your Toyota dealer and they will give you the actual specs on the vehicle

best place to go for a hitch is U-haul or a customs shop to build you a custom setup
E.G. 4x4's like 4x4 specialties or some performance custom's shop like for me its gravity customs
