3-Bike Trunk Rack Recommendation for 2014 Toyota RAV4 w/Spoiler

Question:

Ive been doing some research on your site and some others and Im leaning towards a Thule rack. Mostly considering the 9002PRO, 9010XT, 911XT and 9007XT. We have a 2014 Toyota RAV4 with a spoiler. It doesnt have a a hitch. We have 3 bikes and 2 out of the 3 are womens frames so I assume we should get a frame adapter. Do you have a recommendation for what rack to get? Im open to a non-Thule recommendation as well, but that brand seems to come up most frequently in the results. The videos and reviews on your site are very helpful!

For your 2014 Toyota RAV4 there are great trunk bike rack solutions we offer, but none of them are from Thule. Since your vehicle has a spoiler the rack to go with is the Hollywood Racks Over the Top part # HRF2-3 as it was specifically designed to fit vehicles with spoilers and not interfere with them.

If you plan on carrying any womens or alternative framed bikes without horizontal top tubes you may also be interested in purchasing a Kuat Bike Frame Adapter Bar # UB01 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.
