A light hitch-mounted rack that will fit your Trek Verve 2-Disc Lowstep on your 2016 Toyota RAV-4 is the Hollywood Racks Trail Rider Bike Rack for 2 Bikes - 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # HR200Z. The rack is one of the lighter hitch racks that we carry at 36.25 lbs. Also, the Trail Rider will allow you to fasten your Verve to the rack by using the ratcheting hooks to attach at the bike's frame. Since your Verve is a step-through, you will need to purchase a Hollywood Racks Bike Frame Adapter Bar for Women's and Alternative Frame Bikes # HRBA-PRO.
If you need a hitch to mount the Trail Rider, I recommend the etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class III - 2" # e98864. The Draw-Tite Hitch Receiver is great because it involves bolt-on installation without any drilling required. It also has rust and corrosion-resistant materials and has a great looking matte finish.
