Questions from Toyota RAV4 owners about this product
- Can I Use the Thule Spare Me 2 Bike Spare Tire Carrier to Haul 2 Ladies Beach Cruisers
- The maximum weight capacity of this rack is 75 pounds. If the two bikes total more than 75 pounds, this rack will not be able to support them.
Depending on the shape of the frame, you may also need bike frame adapters like part # TH982XT to carry the bikes level.
If they bikes are too heavy, write back and we can explore some other options.

- Options for Carrying 3 Bikes on a 2007 Toyota RAV4
- We do have some options that will allow you to carry 3 bikes on your 2007 Toyota RAV4, however, we do not carry a 3 bike spare tire mounted bike rack that is compatible with your vehicle.
There are a couple options that will allow you to carry 3 bikes. One option is to use a 2 bike spare tire mounted carrier like the Thule Spare Me 2 Bike Rack, # TH963PRO, and using a roof mounted bike rack for the third bike.

- Recommendation for a Spare Tire Bike Rack on a 2009 Toyota Rav4
- The spare tire bike rack that I would recommend for your 2009 Toyota Rav4 is the Thule Spare Me 2 Bike Carrier - Spare Tire Mount, item # TH963PRO. This rack is designed to fit your vehicle as long as the original spare tire is in place or, if a larger spare has been added, the measurement from the back of the wheel, where it sets against the spare tire mount, is 5-1/4 inches or less. The old TH963 rack will not work on the 2009 Rav4 but the newer # TH963PRO is newly designed to work on your SUV

- Spare Tire Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2012 Toyota RAV4
- Choosing between the Yakima SpareTime, # Y02598 and the Thule Spare Me, # TH963PRO, is tough because both racks have nearly the same cost and are rated highly by our customers. I think it will come down to which one you think would look the best on your 2012 Toyota RAV4.
Normally I would say that one is the better choice but in this case, both have the same features, anti-sway cradles, a cable lock, the arms can fold down, that picking a clear winner is difficult.

- Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2009 Toyota RAV4
- If you want to carry 3 bikes on your 2009 Toyota RAV4 I recommend a trailer hitch and hitch mount bike rack. there is no extension for the Spare Me bike rack that will allow you to carry 3 bikes, so the safest option is a hitch and rack to fit it.
The most popular hitch option for your RAV4 is # 75432. With this hitch installed you will have approximately 6-1/2 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the rear edge of the spare tire carrier like in the video I have linked.

- There will be a slight visual obstruction if you install a Thule Spare Me 2 Bike Carrier # TH963PRO on the spare tire of your 2011 Toyota Rav4. However, it should not be significant and you should still be able to see behind you well enough if you were backing up or attempting to make a lane change.
If you plan on carrying womens or alternative framed bikes you would want a Thule Bike Adapter Bar # TH982XT. I attached a review video for this product for you to check out also.

- In order to determine if the mounting base of the Thule Spare Me 2 Bike Carrier, # TH963PRO, can be left in place to put the cover on your spare tire, you will need to measure. With the spare tire off of the vehicle, measure the distance from the mounting surface for the tire out to the back of the spare tire (furthest point straight back).
If that distance is greater than 3-1/4 inches, then you can leave the Spare Me base on with the tire cover on your 2011 Toyota RAV4.

The issue with the Rav4 is that there is a flange that interferes with the mount on the older TH963XT. The new # TH963PRO is designed with the flange accounted for.

- Will the Thule Spare Me TH963PRO fit a 2004 Toyota Rav4
- It might depend on how much earlier the answer came from the Rep. Not too long ago Thule re-designed the Spare Me rack. Formerly it was part TH963, after the re-design it became part TH963PRO. There were fit issues with certain Rav4 models that were to be fixed. It is also possible that the Rep was not aware of the changes.
I checked with both the paper copy of the Thule Fit Guide as well as the guide on their site. The TH963PRO Spare Me will fit your 2004 Toyota Rav4. I spoke with one of my

- As a first step, you would need to measure the distance from your hitch pin hole rearward until the spare tire is cleared.

- The clearance for the Swagman 2-bike rack # S64670 is going to be 9 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole to the back of the upright bar on the bike rack.
To determine if this rack would have enough clearance to fit on your 2009 or 2010 Toyota Rav4, I recommend measuring from your hitch pin hole to a point past your spare and any other items that might interfere with the bike rack installation.

Measure from the ground up to the top of the frame where the hook would attach and if it is greater than 12 inches the bike will fit. This is a very basic way to determine fit since the wheels will drop down a little below the cradles so if you are very close, but just a little under 12 inches, then it could still possibly work.

- Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2009 Toyota RAV4

I did some research on your La Jolla womens cruiser bikes and, depending on the style of the frames, I believe a bike adapter bar may be required to carry your bikes on a hanging style bike rack.

- How to Determine if the Thule Doubletrack Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack Will Fit a 2007 Toyota RAV4
- You will need to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole on your RAV4, back to the distance required to clear the spare tire. If that distance is less than 19 inches, then the bike rack upright bar will clear the spare tire. Also measure to the rear bumper. If that distance is less than 7-1/2 inches, the carrier will clear the rear bumper.
When folded, the carrier needs 6 inches of clearance from hitch pin hole center to the rear of the vehicle.

- Recommended Two Bike Platform-Style Bike Rack for Hebb Electric Bikes

The Yakima HoldUp, part # Y02433 offers a 120 lb weight capacity, and would be a much safer alternative.

- Bike Racks for 2004 Toyota Rav4 That Allows Cargo Area Access
- Due to the lack of space between the bottom of the rear door and the top of the receiver hitch, the swinging bike racks are not a good option for your RAV4. Although the rack is capable of swinging, the foot of the rack will prevent the door from being opened for more than a few inches.
To carry 2 or 3 bikes, a spare tire mounted rack would be your best option, although opening the rear door while the bikes are attached to the rack is not recommended due to the fact that the additional weight

- Comparing the Thule T2 and Doubletrack Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Racks
- I would say that the T2, # TH916XTR, is more sturdy and a better fit for a 2 inch receiver than the Doubletrack # TH990. But there are other reasons to go for the T2. It holds the bikes at the wheels which makes it a little more versatile than the frame attachment on the Doubletrack. The T2 includes an integrated cable lock and you can keep bikes on it when tilted down. And since it is made to fit a 2 inch hitch it will be a better fit than using the adapter sleeve that comes with the Doubletrac

- I have some great options for you below but first I will tell you about the T2. The tilting feature of the Thule T2, # TH916XTR, will most likely not be enough to allow the rear door of your 2012 Toyota RAV4 to swing open enough for decent access. The exact amount is very difficult to determine without having the actual vehicle and bikes here for me to test. The tilting feature works much better on hatch style rear doors but swinging doors are still a problem.

- Will the Thule T2 Platform Bike Rack TH916XTR Fit a 2010 Toyota RAV4
- The Thule T2 should fit your 2010 RAV4. However, since the rear door swings to the right instead of up, I do not think you would be able to open the door with bikes on the rack. You would need to take them off and fold the uprights down.
In order to be sure it will clear the spare tire you will need to take a measurement. The Thule T2 measures 11 inches from the hitch pin hole when folding up towards the vehicle. Measure from the center of the hitch pin hole straight out. Use a straight edge

This bike rack sits a bit closer to the vehicle. It measures 7 inches from the hitch pin hole to the bike rack when folded. So you would have to measure your hitch to see if the spare tire does not stick out more than 7 inches from the center of the hitch pin hole.

The mounting system allows the rack to be attached to the spare tire so that it is offset toward the center of the tail gate, so that the bicycles will be more centered on the rear of the vehicle.

- Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack Recommendations for a 2012 Toyota RAV4 to Clear Spare Tire
- You will need to measure from the center of the hitch pin hole on your 2012 Toyota RAV4 back to the distance required to clear the spare tire to determine if a bike rack will fit. On other model years we have installed hitches on, the measurement was as much as 7 inches or so, depending on the specific year and hitch. Measuring will be important.
If you find that the measurement on your vehicle is less than 11-1/2 inches, the Yakima DoubleDown, # Y02424, will fit. You will most likely not be

- Trailer Hitch Mount Bike Rack that Will Allow the Rear Door to Swing Open on a 2012 Toyota RAV4
- I have some great options for you below but first I will tell you about the T2. The tilting feature of the Thule T2, # TH916XTR, will most likely not be enough to allow the rear door of your 2012 Toyota RAV4 to swing open enough for decent access. The exact amount is very difficult to determine without having the actual vehicle and bikes here for me to test. The tilting feature works much better on hatch style rear doors but swinging doors are still a problem.

- Both the Yakima BigHorn, # Y02405, and the SportRack Escape, # A30404, tilt down at about a 45 degree angle. The bikes cannot be attached when the rack is tilted. If the rear door swings out from left to right, it is unlikely that you will be able to fully open the door with either rack. If it opens up from the bottom, then there is a very good chance that you can open the rear hatch without contacting the bike racks.
