Will EcoHitch for 2018 Toyota RAV4 Allow Thule Apex Swing to Fit
Question:
Im interested in pairing a 2inch EcoHitch with a Thule Apex Swing 4 bike rack on a 2018 RAV4 Hybrid XLE. The bike rack has the following specs for the hitch see attached PDF from Thule for reference. Could you confirm that an EcoHitch installed on a 2018 RAV4 Hybrid would be compatible with these requirements? 1 pin hole depth - at least 1.5inch from center of hitch pin hole to end face of receiver 2 receiver depth - at least 2.5inch from center of hitch pin hole to back stop, undercarriage, or other obstacle 3 bumper clearance - no more than 7.3inch from center of hitch pin hole to the backmost edge of the bumper Thank you for your help!

The EcoHitch part # 306-X7219 that you referenced does fit your 2018 Toyota RAV4 and will easily allow the Thule Apex Swing bike rack # TH9027XT to fit and work. If you check out the picture I attached you can see that this hitch sticks out from the rear bumper enough to allow any portion of the rack to fit without any issue.
The Apex Swing is no longer available unfortunately but I was able to find a demo video of it on a very similar Rav4 as yours that I attached a link to. The hitch in the video is very similar to this EcoHitch as well.
