I've been running 1UpUSA Double Quik Rack on my 200 for a couple weeks and am very happy with it. I haven't tried it on my 4Runner yet and cannot speak to how well it would work with the swing out rear door.

I can open the bottom half of the tailgate on my 200 with the empty rack in a fully open position. (The rack has three positions.) The top portion of the tailgate can't be opened with bikes on the rack though.
I picked up an older Yakima Fullswing on Clist for around $100. I'm not a huge fan of how the bike mounts to the rack. My trek fuel ex8 barely squeezes on there, but it works and I don't want to hassle with the top tube adapter. I love the swing out feature because I have full access to the back.

I can't say enough good things about the 1up racks. I wouldn't carry my bikes on anything else. Yes its expensive but worth every penny. It will hold any bike you can imagine. You can adjust how they sit left or right on the rack to avoid having them touch. We run into spare tire issues at work all the time. We keep a few hitch extenders around. They look kinda crazy but work well. Bolt it on. Not a hitch pin. Should be able to get one long enough to clear the spare.

As for racks get the 1up. I own a bike shop and sell both Thule and Yakima. They are nice but I personally own a 1Up. Avoid Kuat. They are cheap plastic junk. I can check the rack on my 4Runner if you like. Not sure it will help.
Do you have to remove your bike/bikes to open rear gate?
I will need to load up and take pictures. When unloaded, I can tilt the rack up or down. In the down position, I can fully open the rear door. With bikes loaded and the rack tilted down/away, I can only open the door roughly a third-half way.X2, that's the pic I really want to see!
