Bike Rack for a 2008 Toyota RAV4

Expert Reply:

This bike Rack has spacing of 12 1/4" from the center of the ball mount hole to the back of the upright bar. While this may work for your vehicle and spare tire combination you need to measure from the center of your hitch pin hole to the farthest back part of the spare tire to be sure. If you find that this will not fit your application we have other options that may work. A spare tire mounted bike rack attaches to the spare tire to carry bikes. We also have extenders that will increase the distance between the hitch pin hole and the upright bar on the bike rack. If you choose to use an extender be aware that this will reduce your hitch's tongue weight by 50%. This means the bike rack and bikes combined can not exceed your hitch's tongue weight capacity.
