Will this fit on a hitch on a Toyota RAV4 with the spare tire on the back?

I think it would as mine sits away from the vehicle a good amount. I would go to Walmart, buy one then try it, if it doesn't fit it's an easy return. Hope this helps. Jim

It may clear the tire, but you'll lose the ability to carry a bike on the inner carrier - making it only suitable for 1 bike.

If the carrier doesn't provide enough clearance between the forward bike and the spare tire you could always install a hitch extension bar. Any good trailer hitch store or trailer hitch web site should have them. On one end of the extension bar is a male end that fits into the female recepticle of your hitch. On the other end ( the extended end ) is a female recepticle that accepts the bike carrier. You would probably need to implement some anti-rattle clamps to reduce or eliminate looseness of the assembly. I wouldn't recommend using the extension bar on anything but a lightweight load like a bike carrier.

I used a hitch vise plate from harbor freight because I have a 2 inch receiver and the adapter was loose IMHO. But I measured from the old 1 1/4 hitch that Highland uses and from the hole where the pin goes in crosswise to hold the hitch in the receiver to the plate is 14 inches. So if you measure from the receiver hole to the back of the spare tire you need at least 14 inches or an adapter. You can always get a hitch extender to add length.

Clark, I do not know it would be a good fit for your spare tire. For I can see on the http://www.tacomaworld.com, your tire it is bigger than mine. I used for my spare tire P235-70R16 and fit very good. In fact, When I put it in, it looked like a little loose, but I guess with the time and heat (I live in Houston, TX) make it fit like a glove now. Btw, I should add I like it and has good quality. I hope it helps.

It is adjustable so should fit on any/all spare tires, so as long as there wasn't a hard cover over your tire you should be okay.

It may, but it'll rattle some as it is not a perfect fit. I've gotten used to it as I had no choice, but in the future I would go with a bike rack that's the same size as the hitch.

The square tube that goes into the hitch goes under this to the back edge, but it is the 2 inch outside dim all the way and doesn't expand to accept another 2 inch hitch device. So structurally it may handle it, but it's not made to have another hitch device "piggy-backed" on.

Mine is on a Subaru Outback and there is room to open the back without using the "lowering" feature of the transporter (which, by the way, is a pain to use if the transporter has any sort of load in it). My guess is "probably" if everything stock. It will depend on a) the size (width) of your spare and how far it protrudes past the bumper and b) how your hitch is mounted and how far it protrudes (even with the bumper, recessed).

I have a RAV4 with an external tire and it fits just fine with room to spare. The only issue I run into is that I cannot open the rear door more than about a third of the way, even with the rack tilted down.

It will fit a standard spare tire. Any wider and the curve on the top won't be long enough to grab the tire.

Rev. Mike - My bike rack (a three bike model) is mounted to a Pro Series trailer hitch for the RAV4. See http://www.proseriestowing.com/content/products.aspx?lvl=3&parentid;=1000&catID;=1035∂=51157. The distance from the pin securing the bike rack to the Upright bar is 12 3/4". The upright bar clearance to the tire cover is 3 1/2". It all works well and is a great bike rack. Jack L.

Dennis, I believe it will. I checked mine and find that there is about 16 inches from the rear hatch on my Toyota Highlander to where the front bike would ride on the rack. Assuming that the spare tire would extend about 10 inches from the back of the car, I think there would be ample clearance between the tire and the front bike. I did take a picture of my installation that might help. If you would like that picture, send me an e-mail address and I'll send it to you. Dick Shotwell dicks@filertel.com

Sorry Im not sure if it will fit with your spare tire or not. From the point where the rack goes into your hitch you have approx 16 inches between the back of your vehicle and where the first bike attaches so It probably would work since I doubt your spare is more than 16" wide. But you might want to contact Hollywood direct. Here's their number 1-800-747-4085. Heres a link to there website. Scroll down and you'll see a picture of the rack and measurements. http://hollywoodracks.com/bike-racks/hitch-racks/sportrider-hitch-rack-4.htm

I have no idea. The vehicle my hitch is installed on is a 2004 Highlander, and has P225/70R16 tires. The spare can be removed easily.

Yes it should fit fine behind your spare tire. The plate has spots for different lug patterns.

Mine fit pretty snug. The manufacturer may have an adapter to fit your trailer hitch. Good luck!

The hitch will work for sure. It is dependent on the rails installed on the pickup. This does not come with rails. I installed mine on existing rails that fit a lighter Reese hitch and they were a perfect fit on the 22 inch spacing of the rails. This is a heavy duty hitch.

it should be able to fit on the tire. instructions state there there should be no tire cover on under the carrier

The bars on my toyota RAV4 are quite wide and thin (maybe 3/4 inch thick by 3 inches wide), and the system fits fine. it has screws and rubber clamps that tighten down to the crossbar. You need to have a roof rack with crossbars for this to fit.
