2 Bike Spare Tire Mount Rack for 2002 Toyota RAV4

Question:

Dear Sir, I have a Toyota Rav4 Year 2002. I need to find a bicycle rack carrier, but until now I find only for the roof. Unfortunatelly this solution is not suitable for me, and thus since I saw your SportRack 3 Bike Carrier Spare Tire Mount Bike Rack, I was wondering if it can fits on my SUV. Thanks for your attention

We have a spare tire carrier that will fit your 2002 Toyota RAV4 , the Yakima SpareRide2, part # Y02599.

Installing a hitch and using a hitch mounted bike rack would also be an option, but the presence of the spare tire can interfere with a hitch mounted rack.

I have included a link to a video demonstration and install instructions. To view them, click on the provided links.

For womens bikes or bikes with sharply angled top tubes or step-through frames, using a frame adapter like part # Y02531 is recommended. The adapter spans the distance between the seat post and the handle bar gooseneck, and provides a level attachment point to the bike rack so the bike is not carried at an angle.
