Question:

Hello, I am looking for a spare tire bike rack that will hold three bikes on a 2010 Toyota Rav4. Does such a thing exist? Thanks

For your 2010 Toyota Rav4, there is not a 3 bike rack that is confirmed to fit with your spare tire. For 3 bikes, I recommend getting a hitch mounted bike rack. If you don't have a trailer hitch receiver, I recommend theetrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Matte Black Finish - Class III - 2" # e98864 because it is an easy bolt on installation.

For a bike rack, I recommend the Thule Helium Pro 3 Bike Rack - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches - Tilting # TH9043PRO which measures 8 inches from the center of the hitch pin to the closest part of the bike carrier. This carrier comes with the built in cable lock and the cradles hold your bikes securely. This is a great rack that will meet your needs.

I recommend the Swagman Deluxe Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's, Children's, and Alternative Frame Bikes # 64005. This adapter creates a top frame rail for bikes that don't have it and connects between your seat post and handlebars. This gives you a level ride and ground clearance to ensure a good ride.
