I really like the Saris Superclamp EX part # SA4025F. This is a lightweight platform rack (which is normally an unheard of combo). That means it'll be easy to install and remove from your vehicle since it's light, but also it'll be very easy to load bikes on since it's a platform rack. it will also easily clear your RAV4' spare.

This rack also only touches bikes at the tire so it protects any damage to delicate frame materials or finishes.
