4 out of 5 stars Fits the 2010 Rav4 just fine   June 9, 2010

Had the rack installed in something like 5 minutes after getting the spare tire off the SUV.
Get the new model: it's called the Spare Me XT. The older models do not support the Rav4.
The Yakima Spare Time did not fit the 2010 Rav4.



3 out of 5 stars Limited to narrower tires   May 26, 2010

This rack is well made but would not fit a P235/75R15 spare tire which is about an inch too wide. There may be a fitment chart available but I could not find one.


3 out of 5 stars Doesn't fit wider tires   May 26, 2010

This is a well-constructed rack but it has limited adjustability. It can handle a narrow range of tire widths. P235/75R15s are at least an inch too wide. The instruction sheet says: "your vehicle must be equipped with the stock spare tire", it is "Not intended for tandems or recumbents" and "Not intended for off-road use". There is, however, adjustability to left or right to compensate for an off-set rear spare. It would not fit my spare and I returned it. The Yakima Sparetime is more adjustable but it, too, has its drawbacks.
