On the linked page you can see three choices in a locking spare-tire-mount bike rack that will fit on your 1998 Toyota RAV4. We have both 2- and 3-bike options from Thule, SportRack and Yakima.
Both the Thule Spare Me 2 # TH963PRO and the Yakima SpareRide 2 # Y02599 feature folding arms that take up less space when you're not biking.
For features and value I recommend the Thule which is shown in the linked video on a RAV4. The rack is protected by a limited lifetime warranty and it is made in the USA.
