We do have several 3 bike trunk mount bike racks that will fit a 2003 Toyota 4Runner and I have included a link to them for you. If you want one that is the easiest to install and remove that would be the Thule Raceway 3, # TH9002.

This bike rack uses 4 retractable cables rather than 6 straps like other racks. As a result, the rack is the quickest and easiest to install of all the trunk mount racks I have seen. It also has a clean installed look because there are no straps to flap in the wind.

It also has an integrated cable lock and the retractable cables can be locked on one side to deter theft. If you will be carrying womens, childrens, or alternative frame bikes, I recommend using the bike adapter bar # TH982XT for greater ground clearance and to carry the bikes more level. I have included some informational links on the bike rack and adapter bar for you.
