Trailer Hitch and Platform Bike Rack Recommendation for 2018 Toyota RAV4
Question:
Your website does not list 2018 models. I am wondering if the etrailer e98864 is recommended for the 2018 Toyota Rav4 SE? Any recommendations for a 2 bike platform rack? Thanks

The correct etrailer hitch for a 2018 Toyota RAV4 is the # e98864 which I attached an install video for down below on a 2018 RAV4 just like yours.
I really like the Saris Freedom Superclamp 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.
This rack also only touches bikes at the tire so it protects any damage to delicate frame materials or finishes.
