Expert Reply:
According to Surco, their # BT300 spare tire-mounted bike rack is compatible with the 1997 Rav 4. Everything necessary to install the rack is included.
If you'll be transporting women's bikes or bikes with sharply-angled top tubes, you might also consider a frame adapter bar like part # 64005. The bar spans the distance between the handlebar gooseneck and the seat post, which provides a secondary attachment point for the bike rack. This allows the bike to be carried level, which maximizes ground clearance.
