Is There Spare Mounted Bike Rack for 2012 Toyota RAV4 that is Lighter Than Yakima
Updated 07/16/2025 | Published 07/12/2025
Question:
I have a 2012 RAV with a tire cover on the back door…I hate the Yakima rack we have which is heavy and a pain to attach to the jack and still blocks entry to the back which is inconvenient Do you have a solution that attaches to my spare area? I only need it for two bikes generally

Hey Dan, we have the Hollywood Racks spare mounted bike rack part # HRSR1 that is a fit for your 2012 Toyota RAV4 and only weighs 19 lbs. In general I don't love spare mounted bike racks for the reasons you mentioned...would you consider a hitch mounted option? It would require installing a hitch.
