Expert Reply:
The Swagman XTC4 4-Bike Rack for 2" Hitches part # S64665 will fit a 2012 Toyota RAV4. That said, you would not be able to fold the rack up for storage because of the rear spare tire. However, if you were to add an extender/swing-away adapter you would be able to fold the bike rack up for storage and swing it away from the vehicle to get into the rear hatch. The most cost effective swing-away adapter we offer is the Yakima BackSwing Swing Away Hitch Extender part # Y02483 which will work just fine with the above setup just be mindful of the weight capacities.
