Trunk Mounted Bike Rack Recommendation for a 2014 Toyota RAV4
Question:
Rav4 does NOT have spare tire on rear door. If not, is there a hanging 2 bike rack that will work? I dont have a hitch. Thanks.

I checked with Thule and the Thule Gateway Pro 2-Bike Rack # TH88VR that you referenced has been confirmed to fit your 2014 Toyota RAV4 that has a factory spoiler so I would recommend it for you. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.
If you plan on carrying any women's 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.
