Bike Rack Options that Clear Rear Spare of 2011 Toyota RAV4
Question:
I would like to know which hitch mounted bike racks will fit on my 2011 Toyota Rav 4. The distance from the center of the pin hole on the hitch to the furthest point back on the spare tire is 7 inches. thank you.

Expert Reply:
7 inches from the pin hole to the edge of the spare is a reasonable amount of clearance that most of our bike racks will easily clear.
The Thule Hitching Post Pro part # TH934XTR that you referenced would easily clear this as it has 13-1/2 inches of clearance from the hitch pin to the upright mast of the rack.
For a platform bike rack that would clear this dimension we have the Rhino Rack Dual Trekker part # RRRBC048 which would be a great option as well.
I attached a review video for this rack for you to check out as well.
