Trunk Bike Rack To Easily Load And Transport 3 Bikes On 2020 RAV4
Question:
What is there about the Saris Bones 2 and 3 EX trunk bike racks that make it unsuitable for a 2020 Toyota RAV4? Could something be added by the buyer to make it suitable even if the buyer was willing to forego any warranty as well as the ability to return it for refund if it didnt work? I

There are several easy-to-use trunk bike racks for your 2020 RAV4, but the Saris Bones EX 3 Bike Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms # SA803 is not a confirmed fit and I do not recommend using it, especially if your RAV4 has a factory rear spoiler. This is mainly due to the fact that the Saris Bones EX 3 uses just two short arms to attach to the trunk, which is not a large enough carrier to fit most SUV's and it cannot fit around the factory spoiler, even with modification.
I think an excellent option for you would be the Yakima Full Back 3 Bike Strap Rack - Trunk Mount - Adjustable Arms
Item # Y02633. This is easy to setup and use, and is a very popular option for SUVs with or without spoilers. Keep in mind, while the weight capacity is 35lbs per bike, you are limited to 90lbs when carrying a total of bikes. I attached a demonstration video for you to check out.
