Recommended 4 Bike Platform Rack for 2020 Toyota Rav4 Hybrid with OEM 2 Inch Hitch Receiver  

Question:

Expert Reply:

For the 2 inch receiver on your 2020 Toyota RAV4, I recommend the Saris MTR 4 Bike Platform Rack # SA4032-34.

This rack holds your bikes securely by the wheels, with no frame contact, which is ideal for e-bikes or heavy bikes (like your Trek bike), carbon-frame bikes, or specialty bikes, like your kids full suspension bike. One of the features I like most is that this rack can be converted to a 2-bike rack by simply removing the tray.

Below are some important specs to keep in mind:

Weight capacity (per bike):
2 Positions closest to vehicle: 60 lbs
2 Positions farthest from vehicle: 35 lbs
Wheel diameter: 20" - 29"
Maximum tire width: 5"
Maximum wheelbase: 53"
Carrier weight: 115 lbs

@SteveM The bike rack that you referenced would not work fendered bikes. I would like to help you select the perfect rack but I need to know a few things. (1) would you be ok with a "hanging" rack like the etrailer # e98913 which can have a little rubbing between bike but are the most economical as a group. (2.) what do your bikes weigh, and (3) what are your tire widths. Thanks,
