Spare Tire Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2010 Toyota RAV4

Question:

Are there any spare tire or trunk bike racks that will fit our 2010 Toyota Rav 4? There does not seem to be too many choices. Id prefer a 3 bike rack but a 2 bike would do if that is only option.

Yes, the Yakima Spare Ride Bike rack part # Y02599 that you referenced would be an excellent choice for a bike rack for your 2010 Toyota RAV.

If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Swagman Easy-Out Women's and Alternative Frame Bike Adapter # 64005 to provide a horizontal top tube on your bikes to provide an attachment point. I attached a review video for this product also. This will allow the bikes to be carried more level and will provide more ground clearance.
