Deluxe? thats a joke to me, but i'm not laughing!
It is a bit flimsy with three bikes squeezed onto it. I was scared it might break while i drove. Bottom line is three kids bikes or two adults would work out ok.

Great rack for the price
I had been looking for a tire mount rack for my full size Montero for awhile. I really didn't want one that mounted behind the tire so when I saw this one on Amazon, I ordered right away. Install takes 30 seconds max. I have to keep my tire cover (which is the plastic kind) off but the backing to the tire cover which is behind the tire can stay on with no problem. Once installed, the rack is very secure. No jiggle whatsoever when driving. Also, I can open my hatch door (side swinging) with the bikes on. I have only used the rack for 2 bikes, I'm not sure how it would be with 3 since one set of bracket slots is really right up against the spare (I use the 2 slots further away). Anyway, for my purposes, this rack was exactly what I was looking for. As a bonus, it folds for storage in the off season.

Not made for a Rav4, but it works ok.
At first I wasn't sure this rack would work on my 2008 Rav4, but with some work it does. The arms that go over the tire are very very close to the wiper arm but it doesn't harm it. It's hard to attach the straps to the bottom of the tailgate, it just doesn't grab so I attached them to the underside of the bumper and even though the bumper is plastic coated it made enough of a surface to pull the straps tight. The bar though resting on the spare tire isn't wide enough to rest only on the tire and will damage the wheel unless you pad it all the way across. I did so with 2 shop towels. Once the rack is on and pulled tight, it was solid and seems well made. It didn't loosen or vibrate and 70mph..

Good bike rack, but.....
The bike rack is very easy to attach to the car (Jeep Liberty). However, not all bikes can be attached to this rack depending on the shape of the frame.

Be careful with 2007 Jeep Wrangler with 17" tires
This Bike Rake Scratched my Wheel, I had to use a small towel to ensure the rack did not cause more damage of my wheel with the Goodyear Wrangler P255/75R15 Tire.
