Which Trailer Hitch with Best Bike Rack Clearance for 2007 Toyota RAV4

Question:

Hi etrailer, Which 2 inch hitch reaches furthest out for a Rav 4? It is hard to tell from the different pictures, but a 1-2 inch difference could make a difference for the rack I am interested in. The Rav 2007 has a spare tire mounted to the back, it extends 3 inches past the edge of the bumper. I wanted to buy the Hollywood 4 bike rake with the right 2 inch hitch to get this to work. Rack part- HR 1440Z Can you recommend a hitch that would work for this rack? Thanks and Regards,

The trailer hitch that sticks out past the rear of the 2007 Toyota RAV4 the most to provide the best bike rack clearance would be the etrailer part # e98864. It has a distance of 3-1/4 inches from the hitch pin hole out to the furthest point out on the rear spare which is going to give you enough clearance to basically allow any bike rack to fit.

This would work great with the Hollywood Racks Sport Rider part # HR1400Z that you mentioned as well.
