Will The SportRack 3 Bike Carrier Spare Tire Mount Bike Rack Fit the 2006 Toyota Rav 4

Expert Reply:

I am sorry, but the SportRack 3 Bike Carrier Spare Tire Mount Bike Rack with Rotating Cradles A30813STL will not fit the 2006 - 2009 Toyota RAV4. You could install a hitch or roof rack on your vehicle, which would then allow you to carry bikes.

There are several hitch models that will work with your Rav 4, and this option would also allow you to use other hitch mounted accessories in the future if your needs change. The Hidden Hitch Class III Round Tube Trailer Hitch, part number 70785, would be a good choice and with the 2 inch receiver you will have more accessory options. Our best selling Rola Triple X 3 Bike Hitch Mount Folding Rack, part number 59403, would be a good option with the 2 inch receiver hitch.

If your Rav 4 has factory raised rails front to back you could use the Thule Complete Crossroad Kit, part number TH45050, along with the Rooftop Bike Carrier, Part number S64720, for each bike you need to carry.
