QUESTION: I have a 2012 RAV4 V6 AWD with a tow package & it isn’t listed on your capacity charts. Looking to haul either a 50cc at 205# or a 150cc at 286# scooter and can’t tell if its okay with your carriers. Any info?

ANSWER: I was able to look up a 2010 RAV4   4dr SUV (2.5L 4cyl 4A) and the chart estimates this similar car can have 185lbs sit on top of our VH-55 RO carrier and the vehicle will sit level. You will be having an additional 100 lbs to this so just expect the rear of the vehicle to compress. It is unknown how much compression you will have but 185lbs on top of the carrier is how much weight the vehicle can have and still sit level.

We don’t have any information on your RAV4 2012.
