Trailer Hitch and Bike Rack that Will Work With my Spare Tire on my 2012 Toyota Rav-4
Question:
I have a Toyota Rav 4 with spare tire with hard cover. Can you recommend a tow bar and bike rack that will work without having to remove the spare tire cover? Thank you

We can get you set up! To start use the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver part # e98864 this will give you the 2" receiver tube opening to use a ton of different hitch accessories. As for the bike rack use the Yakima RidgeBack 4 Bike Rack part # Y02458 this will clear your spare tire by about 1.5" and allow you to transport up to 4 bikes to your destination.
I've linked the parts for you as well as an installation video of the hitch and a revies on the bike rack to give you all of the details. Check them out!
