I am planning to buy etrailer Trailer Hitch e98864 and Thule Swing 4 Bike for my 2006 Toyota RAV4, so that I can fully open the rear door. Would this combination work for my car? Thanks!

Yes! The etrailer Trailer Hitch part # e98864 that you are looking at will fit your 2006 Toyota RAV4. I have attached a video of the installation of this hitch on a 2008 RAV4 for you to check out.
The Thule Apex Swing part # TH9027XT bike carrier would be perfect for your vehicle as well with its swing ability so that you can open your rear door fully. I have attached a video showing the swing motion so you can see it in action. Thule also makes another similar one that we have a video showing it on the back of a 2012 RAV4 so you can get a sense of what it will look like on the back of your vehicle.
If you plan on doing some towing I recommend the etrailer ball mount kit # 989900. It comes with 2 ball mounts, 2 balls, a hitch pin with clips, and a carrying bag. For trailer wiring use # 118412. I have linked videos and instructions for each of these parts as well.
