Excellent and prompt customer service!
When I first ordered my product it wasn’t in stock— staff were quick to let me know and offered me comparable products.
I ended up waiting for my original order and shipping quick and they stayed in touch with ideas!
Thule: The instructions
could be a little more detailed. I ended up watching YouTube videos to help me instal.
Overall it was easy, and this was the first rack I’ve ever installed and I did it by myself!
I was surprised to learn the bike rack is in no way secured inside your vehicle, so.. I store it in my garage when it’s on.
Positive:
The product is well thought out and works for a wide range of automotive vehicles. It comes with interesting dampers that i think work.
Instructions seem to be translated from another language, but are quite good, accompanying pictures make installation straightforward.
A test drive over speed bumps shows that the rack will support the bike for all travel needs. It can be disassembled , collapsed and stored in the trunk.
Downside:
The rack is made for the classic triangular shaped frame: horizontal cross bar, "male" bike. For bikes without the horizontal bar, mounting is a little less satisfactory. Such a bike can only be mounted on the outside mounts. Cannot use the damper on one side. Picture shows the mounting.
as to a design solution, maybe brackets could be replaced with smaller profile, some adjustability? however, as it is, vibration control is good and adjustability with smaller profile would have vibration concerns.
Perfect for my 2019 RAV-4. I like this product because it allows me to drive and park without having to worry about height clearances in the city and parking was still navigable. Definitely worth the money!
First, etrailers.com is the BEST! Okay, this rack is amazing. If it was made in the U.S.A, I believe it would be closer to $ 800.00+, it's not, thus the incredible price point, imo. Incredible craftmanship, sturdy, versatile, nice to look at, as well. Very detailed instructions included. Fits my 2015 Prius 4 perfectly. Our beach cruises both required adaptor bars. I opted to wait on the bike rack, to ensure a good fit, etc. then purchase the adaptor bars. After much research, I went with Delta adaptors, I wish etrailers.com carried them, but they do not. Nevertheless, this rack is tops, highly recommend. Thank you for reading!
Performed perfectly on a 140 mile round-trip in my 2017 Acura MDX. It took me a few tries to position the anchors inside the top of the hatch, but I got the hang of it and the rack did not shift at all while driving 50-60 mph on the highway.

Excellent quality! Bike rack comes fully assembled. Cam locks hold the upper support and the bike arms in position and are very easy to use.fairly useless included cable lock. Will only work if you always carry 3 bikes. I just used my cable lock and had no problems transporting my bike to the trails.
Today, on our 2021 Toyota RAV4, we're gonna be taking a look at the Malone Runway Max Four-bike Rack. First thing I noticed with the rack is that it sits relatively low. I'm not a very tall fella, and the RAV4 doesn't really sit too far off the ground. So if you're looking for something that's gonna be a little bit easier so you don't have to lift the bikes up that much, this one's gonna do a great job. So let's get a little measurement for you. So, as it sits in the hitch on our RAV, it's about 46 inches from the ground to the bottom of this tube on the end.
John: Hey guys, John here from each trailer.com today we have our 2019 Toyota RAV4. We are test fitting the Yakima HalfBack trunk mount bike rack. This comes in a two bike configuration, like we have here. As well as a three bike configuration. We have both here at etrailer.com. The only difference between them is that the two bike version obviously holds two bikes, but that has a weight capacity of 35 pounds per bike.
John: Hey guys, John here from etrailer.com today we have our 2019 Toyota RAV4 and we are test fitting the Yakima fullback trunk mount bike rack. This is a two-bike version, but we also have a three-bike version here at etrailer.com. The only difference is that the two-bike version can hold up to two bikes weighing 35 pounds each, but the three-bike version can hold three bikes but the total weight capacity is 90 Pounds.This is a great way to get our bikes to our favorite destination without installing something on our roof and having to load them up there, or maybe having a hitch installed and installing a bike rack. This is a great opportunity for people. A lot of people like to use this. You may be renting the vehicle, so this way you don't have to have anything permanently installed.Like to point a few things out before we start getting into some specs on this and how it fits directly with the vehicle.
John: Hey guys, John here from etrailer.com. Today we have our 2019 Toyota RAV4 and we are test fitting the Hollywood Racks over the top bike rack. This comes in both a two bike version, as you can see we have here, it's HRF2, and then a three bike version as HRF2-3 part numbers. This is a great way to get your bikes to your favorite destination without installing a roof rack on top of our vehicle or maybe getting a hitch installed and buying a hitch mounted bike rack. It just installs right here on our trunk. We don't have to permanently install anything.
Hi everyone it's Evangeline here at E Trailer. And today we'll be taking a look at our Saris Bones bike rack. This is a trunk mounted bike rack. So if you don't have a hitch, can't have a hitch but still wanna carry around bicycles this is gonna be one of your options. We can get this as a two or a three bike option.

Today on our 2013 Toyota Rav 4, we'll be test fitting the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top trunk-mounted 2-bike carrier for vehicles with spoilers, part number HRF2. Now we'll begin our test fit by placing the bike rack on the vehicle's rear bumper. Now we already went ahead and flipped out the black levers, which will allow us to adjust to fit the bike rack to the vehicle. We'll loosen up the knobs, which will allow us to bring out the small and large bars of the bike rack. The smaller one of the two bars will rest on the rear hatch of the vehicle, and the larger bar will act as a support once the top straps will come up and hook into the roof of the vehicle. Once we've established this position, we can lock down the black plastic levers and tighten down the knobs to secure it in place.
Today on our 2003 Toyota RAV4, were going to be test fitting the Thule Spare Me 2-Bike carrier, part number TH963XTR. Now to begin our test fit, weve already gone ahead and removed the spare tire form the vehicle. So well go ahead and install the adapter here on the spare tire mount. We can then go ahead and reinstall our spare tire. With our spare tire tight, were now ready to install our bike rack. All we need to do is slide the bike rack onto the adapter here on the center of the spare tire.

Well simply slide the bike rack shank into the adapter plate here in the center of the spare tire.
The Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02634 is a great way to carry bikes on your 2024 Toyota RAV4. This will allow you to carry 2 bikes up to 35lbs each without having to install an expensive roof rack or trailer hitch receiver. We also have the 3 Bike Rack # Y02633 if you are going to need to carry 3 bikes.
If you have an alternative frame like the step thru or a woman's bike you will need an Adapter # Y02531. view full answer...
The Thule Passage # TH910XT won't fit your 2024 Toyota RAV4 (in fact none of the Thule racks will) so we need to get you a different bike rack, and for that I recommend the Yakima FullBack:
- Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02634
This is easily my favorite trunk rack because it not only looks sleek, but it's very easy to use as well. I actually had the opportunity to shoot an installation video of this on a 2019 RAV4 that I'm linking to this page so you can get a good idea... view full answer...
Thule doesn't recommend any of their trunk mounted bike racks for the 2022 Toyota RAV4 but actually the Outway wouldn't be ideal for a carbon frame bike at all since it grabs the bikes by the bike frame and not the front wheel. Carbon bikes shouldn't use bike racks that attach to the bikes by the frame since the material is delicate.
Best option would be a hitch bike rack that only touches the tire like the Thule T2 Pro part # TH83JV. Then for a hitch you'd want the Curt #... view full answer...
For your 2022 Toyota RAV4, I recommend the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack # Y02634.
This carrier is the lightest option we carry for a two bike rack, weighing in at only 21-lbs, and is capable of carrying two bikes weighing 35-lbs each, for a total of 70-lbs. It also comes with security features, a cable lock to keep your bikes secure and security strap which keeps the FullBack on your RAV4 when the hatch is closed. view full answer...
I have a possible solution for you.
First, though, the Thule Passage, part # TH911XT, is not a fit for the 2021 Toyota RAV4. In fact, these aren't fits for any RAV4.
Instead, I recommend using the Yakima FullBack, part # Y02633. This is a confirmed fit for your vehicle and can hold 3 bikes just like the Passage you referenced. It has anti-sway cradles and TPE padding.
I've linked to a video review of the FullBack below. view full answer...
Yes I recommend the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack Part # Y02634 for your 2012 Toyota Rav4. This is a great quality bike rack that is trunk mounted and will accommodate 2 bikes up to 35 pounds each. I suggest if you are planning on using this rack for step-through bikes, children's bikes, or bikes with different shaped frames, picking up the Yakima Tube Top Bike Adapter Bar Part # Y02531.
The Saris Bones is not a confirmed fit on vehicles with a short mounting point on the trunk... view full answer...
Technically you can carry bikes on the Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack For 2 Bikes, part # TH45JV, on your 2021 Toyota RAV4, while towing a kayak trailer. However, it may be difficult to unload and load your bikes on the truck bike rack when your vehicle is attached to the trailer. I would also recommend that you check your straps after attaching the trailer to your vehicle. view full answer...
All trunk-mounted bike racks, including the Yakima Full Back 2 Bike # Y02634, prevent access to the trunk when installed on a vehicle. This is mainly due to the fact that vehicle trunk/hatch supports are not made heavy duty enough to withstand the excess weight of the bike rack and/or bikes. The bike rack itself is also not designed to carry bikes in that position so I do not recommend trying to do so.
This carrier is very easy to install and use! The straps simply clip around... view full answer...
Yes, I confirmed with Thule that the Thule OutWay Trunk Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - Adjustable Arms # TH45JV will fit your 2020 Toyota RAV4. If you want extra security so no one will steal the rack from your vehicle, I recommend the Thule Passive Security Strap # TH533. I went ahead and attached a video of how to install the security strap. view full answer...
The Yakima Fullback for 3 bikes # Y02633 is a great choice for your Toyota Rav4 2020. I have attached a review video for you to see how it works. view full answer...
We do have many trunk bike rack options that work for you. My recommendation is the Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms, part # Y02634. It comes with two pairs of straps, upper and lower. One of the nice things about the Yakima FullBack is that it has a specific fit for your vehicle via the HUB. This rack can be secured to your vehicle with the included security cable and you can lock your bikes to the rack with the integrated cable. The rack has rubber... view full answer...
Yes! The Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier # HRF2 will work with your 2020 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid. I've included a video of the rack being used on a 2019 Rav4. So, check that out to see it in action! view full answer...
The Yakima FullBack 2 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms, part # Y02634, that is compatible with your 2020 Toyota RAV4 has two sets of straps that need to be setup in anchor mode. The top and lower mounting clips must be removed and replaced by the anchor kit. The hub setting on this rack is 4. You are correct, the top straps will rest on the spoiler of your vehicle.
I have included a video review link below. view full answer...
We have 3-bike trunk racks that fit your 2020 Toyota RAV4 like the Yakima Fullback 3 part # Y02633 but the Saris you mentioned is not a fit so I cannot recommend it. The Fullback is one of the nicest trunk mounted racks out there because of how easy it is to use and load and how it's loaded with features.
If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01... view full answer...
There are several easy-to-use trunk bike racks for your 2020 RAV4, but the Saris Bones EX 3 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # SA803 is not a confirmed fit and I do not recommend using it, especially if your RAV4 has a factory rear spoiler. This is mainly due to the fact that the Saris Bones EX 3 uses just two short arms to attach to the trunk, which is not a large enough carrier to fit most SUV's and it cannot fit around the factory spoiler, even with modification.

For your 2020 Toyota RAV4 I highly recommend the Yakima Fullback 2-Bike # Y02634 or the 3-Bike # Y02633, which features an interlocking HUB that lets you adjust the base to fit the shape of your RAV4 and take stress off of the rear spoiler when the bikes are loaded. Both options are confirmed to fit your vehicle and they can handle bikes that weigh up to 35 pounds each.
The Fullback also uses rubber and foam pads on all the contact points to protect the RAV4's finish from... view full answer...
The best rack in my opinion is the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider SE # HLY84FR. This has 80 lbs per bike (37 kg) so you have plenty of strength to haul your two ebikes to and from the trails! I've used this rack MANY times and did the review video too! Be sure to check that out! A hanging style rack like the FullBack # Y02634 isn't what you want since your bike are heavy. A trunk mount will not work.
If you do not have a hitch on your 2020 Toyota Rav4 then you can get this one... view full answer...
The Yakima Fullback 3 # Y02633 is a confirmed fit for your 2020 Toyota Rav 4. This 3-bike trunk rack features a 4-strap mounting system and interlocking HUB for quick setup on your Acura MDX. The adjustable arms have SuperCush anti-sway cradles with ZipStrip straps for easy bike loading. Integrated locks secure bikes and rack.
I have attached a couple of videos for you to see it in action.

The best trunk mount bike rack option we offer for a 2019 Toyota RAV4 is the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 2 Bike Carrier part # HRF2 is because it has very minimal contact with the vehicle. The reverse cameras are usually near the latch release for the hatch so it should still be operable with the bike rack installed but without the bikes.
That said, there are no trunk mount bike rack options that would be guaranteed to allow for the use of the reverse cameras with the bike... view full answer...
