Kuat tells us that the maximum single bike weight for their # KU74FR Transfer Bike Rack is 40 lbs, plus the wheel cradles only accommodate tires up to 3 inches wide, while fat bikes usually have tires at least 3-3/4 inches wide, so the Transfer wouldn't be a good choice.
I'd recommend you go with the Thule Pro XTR, part # TH69TX. The T2 handles bikes up to 60 lbs apiece, and is specifically designed for fat bikes with tires up to 5 inches wide. The rack can be setup to carry 2 or 4 bikes... view full answer...
The best two bike rack option for a 2008 Toyota RAV4 is the RockyMounts BackStage 2 Bike Platform Rack part # RKY10002 because it will not only clear the rear spare tire but it will also swing away from the vehicle for full hatch access. The swing away feature is actually the only option to get into the rear hatch with the bike rack still attached. The tilt away bike rack options will not allow for this.
That said, the RockyMounts BackStage is a premium option so if you are looking for... view full answer...
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 rack installed... view full answer...
We can get your 2016 Toyota RAV4 with raised side rails set up with a roof rack and a kayak carrier for two kayaks with some lift assistance, and let's go ahead and start with the roof rack. For that you will need a pair of crossbars as well as the feet that attach to your side rails to mount the bars. The best option for this is a rack from Rhino-Rack because it is the best value for a roof rack; Rhino-Rack's quality is equal to similar brands, but at a better price point because you aren't... view full answer...
From what I have found in the 2021 Toyota RAV4 owner's manual, the front wheel drive version can be dolly towed. If you have all wheel drive then you would have to put it on a trailer for towing. This vehicle cannot be flat towed. I recommend checking your manual to verify this information.
For a tow dolly, I recommend the Demco Kar Kaddy X Tow Dolly # DM9713093. This holds vehicles up to 4,800 lbs with a 42" - 78" tread width. It uses a hydraulic brake actuator with disc brakes and comes... view full answer...
The easiest to install trailer hitch for your 2019 Toyota RAV4 is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13416 which should only take a novice around 30 minutes. The reason for this is because it is the only option that the manufacturer does not require the muffler to be lowered away from the vehicle for installation. The comparable Draw-Tite Receiver Hitches both state that the muffler must be lowered away from the vehicle for installation. I also recommend you go with the 2" receiver... view full answer...
The easiest to load kayak carrier is the Thule Hullavator part # TH898 which lowers to about waist level to make lifting the kayak easier and then once attached there allows you to push the kayak and rack up onto the roof of the vehicle easily with the assisted shock system helping lighten the load. This will work great with your Fell Free Sit kayak. Check out the review video I attached for more info on that.
Then for a roof rack compatible with this carrier and your 2013 Toyota Rav4... view full answer...
The best trailer hitch option for a 2018 Toyota RAV4 is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver part # C13406 as it has a hidden design and offers a bolt-on installation. That said, it does have the larger 2" receiver tube opening. I understand you have a bike rack with 1-1/4" shank but you can get an adapter for this (Hitch Reducer 2" to 1-1/4" Trailer Hitch Receiver part # HT02) assuming the bike rack did not come with one as most do. The larger 2" receiver tube opening will offer more capacity... view full answer...
Yes, we do. I recommend Curt, part # C13406. It's a fit for all of the 2018 RAV4's including the Hybrid model like you have.
I like how the crosstube is hidden behind the RAV4's bumper and all you see is the receiver tube sticking out. Take a look at the picture I attached. I've also linked the install video for you, which isn't on a Hybrid model but the install is the same.
The wiring harness # HM11141820 from Hopkins gives you a 4-way to power the trailer lights. It plugs into... view full answer...
For your 2015 Toyota RAV4 with raised side rails on the roof I recommend the Thule square bar roof rack part number # TH711420 and # TH710401 for use with the Thule Hullavator that you bought. The older style of Hullavator was more limited with the bar shapes it could fit but the Thule square bars fit really well so that's the way to go.
I attached an install video for this roof rack on a 2015 Toyota RAV4 for you to check out as well. view full answer...
The eTrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98864 is what I recommend you use on a 2011 Toyota RAV4 to carry a Thule hitch mounted bike rack such as the Thule Vertex Swing-Away part 9031XT. I took a look at the clearances needed for the Thule Vertex Swing-Away and the eTrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver will give you space between the rear spare tire so there won't be any issues. The eTrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver is a bolt-on option that is super easy to install as there are actually only... view full answer...
For your 2020 Toyota RAV4 the best hitch recommendation I can make is the etrailer part # e23ZR as it has the best towing capacity and has a concealed crosstube which makes it less visible and and also helps with ground clearance. I attached a picture of what it looks like installed as well as an install video.
Then for trailer wiring the Curt kit part # C56434 is the best option as it installs easily and has the highest amperage rating too which means it will be the most resistant to... view full answer...
I do have an option for you but the only trike carrier we currently offer is the SeaSucker Trike Rack for 1 Trike part # 298-BD1005 which mounts to the roof via vacuum cups. This is a great option with 45 lb weight capacity and it's made in the USA. view full answer...
I recommend to have the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e98864 installed on your 2016 Toyota RAV4 at your local Toyota Dealer. They will know your vehicle better than other service centers and have the ability to help fix and damaged parts that they may come across when installing your receiver. And as they are part of Toyota you know that their technicians are required to have the proper training.
If you do not have a dealer near you there are reputable service centers that are capable... view full answer...
The other ways to carry bikes on your 2012 Toyota RAV4, besides using a hitch, is to use a roof bike rack or to use a spare tire bike rack. If you have a spare tire cover, it would have to be removed to install the bike rack. The spare tire bike rack will not work if your vehicle has a spare tire mounted backup camera installed on it.
For a spare tire carrier I would recommend the Thule Spare Me 2 Bike Carrier, part # TH963PRO, or the Yakima SpareRide 2 Bike Carrier, part # Y02599. Both... view full answer...
The only concealed cross tube trailer hitch we offer for a 2018 Toyota RAV4 is the EcoHitch Hidden Trailer Hitch Receiver part # 306-X7219. This trailer hitch features a bolt-on, no drill install with 2" receiver that can be used for towing or other hitch mounted accessories.
In regards to ground clearance, a concealed cross tube hitch will have more than a visible so that's what I recommend as the best overall, the EcoHitch in particular. view full answer...
I feel our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e23ZR is the best option for your 2024 Toyota RAV4. I prefer our receiver as it has the matte black finish which I feel looks best and gives it a factory appearance.
I recommend installing the Vehicle Wiring Harness # C59496 when you install the receiver. This will give you a 4-way flat connector which is the most commonly used connector on small trailers you may pull. It will also allow you to install Auxiliary Lights # C53201 if you are using... view full answer...
The etrailer XHD Non-Binding Tow Bar for Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plate part # e84ZR can be used on any vehicle under 10,500 lbs. It's designed to attach directly to Roadmaster Direct-Connect Base Plates which are vehicle specific so if you have a vehicle in mind you'll be towing please let me know what that is so I can see if there is an option for this.
Please note, if this is something you'll be using temporarily for multiple vehicles then a universal tow bar like the Tow Ready... view full answer...
I recommend installing the Thule WingBar Evo roof rack on your 2024 Toyota RAV4 with the raised roof rails. You will simply need the Crossbars # TH711420 and the Feet # TH710401 to attach this to your roof. I do recommend getting a Lock Set # TH450800 to add to locks to the bars. This kit includes 8 locks which you can also use with other Thule roof mounted accessories like the Kayak Carrier # TH898. view full answer...
Since your 2015 Toyota RAV4 has a 2 inch trailer hitch that will afford you many bike rack options. For a 4-bike rack that fits 2 inch trailer hitches I recommend # S64400. I have included a link to a video review of this rack for you.
If you will be carrying any bikes that do not have a top frame bar that goes straight across (like a typical men's bike would) then I recommend using bike adapter bar # 64005. This will allow you to carry those bikes more level and will provide better ground... view full answer...
