Trunk Mounted Bike Rack for 2014 Toyota RAV4 Electric Vehicle  

Question:

Helpful Expert Reply:

Because you have a spoiler that shouldn't have weight applied to it, I recommend the Hollywood Racks Over-the-Top 3-Bike Rack, part # HRF2-3 .

This rack is specifically designed to work with vehicles that have a factory spoiler, and distribute the weight around the spoiler, rather than on it, preventing damage to the vehicle.

This rack also features anti-sway cradles which will limit the motion of the bikes while they are riding behind the vehicle, further limiting the risk of damage.

Since this rack doesn't include locks, I recommend a 10 Foot Cable Lock, part # e98891 to help secure the bikes.

Additionally, since you plan to carry women's and children's bikes, a Swagman Frame Adapter, part # 64005 is helpful in leveling these alternative-frame bikes. When the bikes ride level, it reduces the chance that a bump or turn will cause their wheel to hit the ground, helping to avoid damaging the bike.
