Spare Tire Bike Racks

Best option for a budget friendly bike rack for your 2005 Honda CR-V would be the Hollywood Racks SR1 part #HRSR1. This is confirmed as a fit for the spare on your vehicle and would be a great way to carry up to 2 bikes. If you plan on carrying any…

Hey Jeff! The Yakima EXO #Y54ZR is a great all in one solution that will work well on an E-350. You can also get the enclosed cargo box version #Y34ZR. Another great thing about this system is if you don't need to carry the bikes you can always…

I do have another option for you but the Surco spare tire bike rack, part #BT300, does not fit oversized tires. Take a look at the Hollywood Racks SR2, part #HRSR2, instead. It'll fit up to 12-1/2 wide tires so it's pretty likely to fit your…

I recommend installing a trailer hitch on your 2011 Toyota RAV4 and using a platform bike rack to easily carry your mountain bike on your vehicle. For a trailer hitch, I recommend the etrailer 2" Class III Trailer Hitch #e98864. I recommend this…

For your 2011 Toyota RAV4, I recommend the etrailer Class III Receiver Hitch, #e98864. The etrailer hitch has the 2 inch receiver opening which will allow you a larger variety of towing accessories, like cargo carriers and bike racks. As for a bike…

In order to transport three bikes on your 2011 Toyota RAV4 I suggest a hitch-mount type carrier rather than a spare-tire-mount type such as the Thule #TH963PRO. that you referenced. Hitch mount racks will use the strongest part of the vehicle - its…
